My farther has been sleeping most of the day. his color is off and his heart rate is 105 and he was pouring sweat off of his forehead. he barley ate any supper also. he even said he doesnt feel good he said that it feels like he has the flu but he doesnt have a fever. And my mom also checked his sugar level which it was good. he has a history of open heart surgery and heart attack and a stroke so my mother and i have been worried about him today.

Brief Answer:
You should bring him to the ER

Detailed Answer:
Given what you have told me, I would recommend that you bring him to the ER. With the change in his color and change in behavior, he may have a disorder in his blood circulation, causing low blood pressure, possibly from a problem in his heart. Even without chest pain, I would be concerned about worsening heart failure or heart attack.

Without a fever, septic shock would be less likely, but the symptoms you describe are concerning for possible shock related to the heart, so I would take him to get evaluated immediately.

Please let me know if there's anything I can help with, I hope everything turns out to be fine and your father feels better soon.
