That depends: Feeling more short of breath, struggling to breathe, or new chest pain are all reasons to get an emergency evaluation at the hospital. He can also talk to a doctor from home via live video consult on HealthTap for further advice on whether immediate visit is needed. https://www.healthtap.com/ask_doctors
