Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to pleuritis. Anyway, I would recommend consulting with his doctor and performing some tests:
- a cardiac ultrasound and cardiac enzymes
- a resting ECG
- a chest X-ray study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
