Hi. My Dad is 62 yo and have troubled breathing. He has some respiratory problems. A doctor has told me that this is an end-of-life symptom for many elderly who suffer from a high rate of respiratory problems. His chest hurts sometimes and I think that it is more likely that he will have a heart attack. He also have a trouble with his weight. Does anybody know something more about Troubled breathing problem?
