Hi DM, are you able to test your water and post the results here.
Lots of things will make fish hang at the surface of the water. Lack of oxygen is one, but also high ammonia or high nitrite or nitrates will have the same effects.
Some diseases also affect breathing, like gill flukes and velvet.
Is the fish showing any other symptoms? Does he still eat well and are the droppings normal.
A photo would be a big help.Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
