Struggling to Breathe Easily? It Might Not Be Just Getting Older.
Getting out of breath quickly isn’t always normal. Sometimes it’s a sign your heart needs help.

🚩 Look out for:
β€’ Getting out of breath on short walks
β€’ Needing extra pillows to sleep comfortably
β€’ Feeling puffed after small tasks
β€’ A heavy or tight chest on the stairs

These can happen when your heart isn’t working as well as it should.

❀️ Don’t ignore it.
If breathing is becoming harder for you, it’s worth checking it early. Take part in one of our clinical research studies.
