Hi, I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms could be related to heart failure or an inguinal hernia. For this reason, I recommend consulting with his GP for a physical exam and some tests: - A chest X-ray study - A resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound - NT-pro brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) plasma levels - Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation - Kidney and liver function tests - An abdominal ultrasound. You should discuss with his doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
