Hello,

He is having dyspnea on exertion. So he can rule out cardiac problem by EKG investigation. I also suggest him to investigate with CBC to rule out anemia. According to the cause-specific treatment given.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
