HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that his hyperthyroidism is contributing to his high blood pressure, shortness of breath.
High levels of thyroid hormone can affect the function of the heart.
He would need these levels assessed and would also need adjustment of his medication to optimize his control.
This can only be done when he sees his doctor.
I hope this helps
