Inconsistent Breathlessness?

My father (60 yrs old) experiences inconsistent breathlessness usually in the delayed afternoon/evenings. Known health problem: big blood pressure (less than 1 year) and prostate enlargement (2 years). On medication for giant blood pressure (atenolol or Tenormin 50mg/day) for past 9 months. Typical morning: sleep 9pm, wakes up 4am, 5.30am start driving cab/taxi for 6 hours, jog for 30~60 min at 5pm (3 times per week), surfs internet at night for 3~4 hours at a stretch. ECG results usual, diagnoses normal from 3 different GP's. Mild hose down retention observed in nouns above ankles. Prostate enlargement intended 3~4 visits to toilet during sleeping time - but competent to fall hindmost into sleep. Usually feels better after prolong rest/sleep. I'm suspecting fatigue (not plenty rest especially the eyes) plus side effect of Tenormin. Is there any similar experiences out within which may suggest something else? Many thanks within advance.Inconsistent Breathlessness?
Get him to a doctor as soon as possible.
It may be a quantity of things, but with the sea retention around the ankles, it sounds like his heart is out of commission properly.
It may be that, or a few other things, but get him to a doctor !
Go to your doctor... it might be a total new problem or the track the medicines interact. Go to your doctor, that's the safest bet.
