What medical problem does my Dad Probobly have?!


Question: What medical problem does my Dad Probobly have.?
My Dad is 63 years old and refuses to ever go to the doctor unless he has an infection.Even then he will only go to get an antibiotic and refuses any kind of tests or vaccines.

Dad's symptoms include frequent difficulty breathing; to the point that he cannot go outside if it is damp, foggy or raining. He was a smoker but quit over 15 years ago. Dad has a long history of occupational exposure to fiberglass, plaster dust, and with work on older buildings some asptestos.
COPD, Emphasyma, or Lung Cancer.?

Dad also gets lots of aches and pains in his body at the locations of old injuries.
Osteo-Arthritis.?

Dad has excellent teeth although he has mild Periodontal disease.

Dad is hard of hearing.

Dad has good vision but uses drugstore magnification glasses for reading.

Dad is a long time Hard Drinker.

Dad continues to work in the building trade.

Anyone got any ideas.?
Please don't tell me to take him to the Dr. I tried 20 years ago and Dad flipped his lid. Yes I have suggested it delicately but he just won't but twice a year when his chest gunk stays green for a couple weeks until he gets an antibiotic.Health Question & Answer
