00:00If you can't fall asleep without stacking pillows behind you, this might be more than just a sleep habit.
00:05It could actually be a hidden sign of heart failure.
00:08Dr. Rosie Godseth, a top UK cardiologist, says that needing to sleep propped up or waking up gasping for air
00:15could mean fluid is building up in your lungs, a common symptom of heart failure.
00:20Heart failure happens when your heart can't pump blood efficiently because it's become weak or damaged.
00:25This leads to crushing fatigue, swollen limbs, and breathlessness, especially when lying flat.
00:31Shockingly, over a million people in the UK and 6.7 million adults in the US are living with it.
00:37And here's the scary part. Half of those diagnosed won't live longer than five years.
00:42Even worse, most people only find out they have it after an emergency hospital visit.
00:47Doctors are now urging people to watch for early signs like a persistent cough, bloating, or needing multiple pillows to sleep.
00:54Heart failure can't be cured, but with early diagnosis, medication, surgery, or a pacemaker, lives can be extended.
01:02So if you're stacking pillows or struggling to breathe at night, don't ignore it.
01:06This isn't just about sleep. It could be a silent warning from your heart.
