Since it's a long duration you should first go for chest x-ray and sputum for AFB. Once confirm ant chronic illness then only treatment can be initiated. And stop him from taking any medication. If sputum AFB is negative then I would advice him for spirometry.
Go for above test. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
For your lipids you may need just a statin like Rosuvastatin 5 mg. There is absolutely no need for fenofibrate, (F) as TGL value is just 197 mg. Unless TGL go beyond 500 mg there is no need to worry about. Properly balanced healthy diet plus regular exercise will be more than sufficient. Thanks.
