Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your issue breathlessness with sweating can be due to variety of causes in elderly. It may be due to some lung diseases like COPD, old, or heart diseases .you need to get yourself evaluated for a cause.visit a pulmonologist he can evacuate tour disease by requesting some basic investigations like chest X-ray and ECG, spirometry if needed. He may prescribe you some bronchodilators and antibiotics if needed thanks / regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
