I Woke Up Gasping.... What just happened?

You woke up gasping for air in the middle of the night — and now you're trying to make sense of what happened. In this video I explain exactly what paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea (PND) is, why it happens in heart failure, what to do if it happens again, and — most importantly — how to catch the warning signs before the next episode. This frightening shortness of breath that occurs suddenly in the night has signals before it happens. If you know what to look for, you can often prevent it.
