Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Abnormal ecg with breathlessness on the exertion is mostly due to heart diseases.
He is also having habit of tobacco chewing. This is further increase risk of heart diseases.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
He might be having early heart failure or Coronary artery disease (CAD).
If not detected and treated early, this can be life threatening in future.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
