❤️Why Breathlessness Matters

Breathlessness is often put down to ageing, stress, weight or lack of fitness, — but it can be an early warning sign of heart or lung conditions. When these issues are picked up early, treatment is usually simpler and more effective.

🩺What Happens When I Attend?

Your visit is relaxed, friendly and focused on you.

You may receive:

• A short symptom check and health conversation.
• Blood pressure and heart rhythm checks.
• A simple finger-prick blood test (if appropriate).
• A heart scan using safe, AI-supported ultrasound (if needed).
• A breathing test to check lung function (if needed).

Most people receive results on the same day or shortly afterwards.

➡️What happens next?

• Your results are shared with your GP.
