Hello
Your father took anti tubercular treatment in past and he is also an asthmatic case . Now he is not able to walk even few meters .
He is also taking inhalers for his asthma .
Breathlessness may be due to :
1 Extensive tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest as well as M R I .
2 COPD may be due to old tuberculosis
3 Congestive heart failure is the next possibility.
In DELHI PATEL chest institute is the best hospital owned by Delhi govt.
Hope this will help you.
