HI
Well come to HCM
In most of the case of 80 years age the common cause of shorting of breath would be chronic pulmonary obstructive disease and this could be managed with bronchodilators and the best choice would be etophylline and this need to be given in sustain release form breathing exercise some time helps but it should be done under the supervision of expert, hope this helps.
