Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Your father is smoking for 40 years. With all these given symptoms, you should compel your father to go to a hospital to get a check up. He needs to quit smoking and start de-addiction treatment and other treatments for the physical conditions he may have. Smoking affects mouth, throat, lungs, brain, skin etc with cancer and many other diseases. Please, do not waste time. If your father is unwilling, it becomes your duty to take him to the hospital compulsively.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
