Atrial fibrillation: Afib is a likely cause. Congestive heart failure, heart block which might need a pacemaker and coronary artery blockages are also concerns. He needs to see a doctor and get an ekg and poss some other tests as well.

Consider these: Sick sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, ischemic heart disease. See an internist asap. These are not the only possible reasons.
