First, you can continue treatment for asthma like inhalers (MDI or Rota cap) of steroids, alpha agonists, anticholinergics etc. I have assumed arthritis for knee pain, so you can take treatment from orthopedic after confirmed diagnosis. Now, if he has old history of inferior wall MI with hypertension then you can continue antihypertensive, antiplatelet or anticoagulants(esprit, clopidogrel or heparin), hypolipidemics(statins or vibrates), antiarrhythmic if required etc. but after the consultation of cardiologist. His prognosis will mainly depend on his cardiac ejection fraction (EF- on 2D echo)and its activity during rest and exertion. So, better you do a regular follow-up at cardiologist every 6 monthly at least. Other factors are not a big issue in an otherwise healthy individual. He can continue with the treatment. </s>
