What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Chronic Cough After A Heart Attack?

My brother is very sick. He has cancer in a kidney he needs removed. But waiting for this operation he has filled with fluid. He had a mild heart attack. He cannot breathe to lay on his back to have a heart catheterization. He has had a bad cough for a year. We are at a road block what can he do?
