Your husband has all the symptoms for Hemochromotosis. It usually appears in men between 40 & 60. As it worsens it can cause serious problems including heart and liver problems.  But he does have every symptom.  The skin color usually gets yellow and then turns to a bronze color.  I would have him take it easy until he can get his test for this.
