The dry air is very tough on old lungs. Your instinct with the humidifier is good. Another thing that might help is having them drink as much liquid as they can - more than thirst makes them want.

If they have a heart condition they may be taking diuretics to manage their water balance. This exacerbates the effect of dry air, and makes drinking fluids even more important.
