Waking at night short of breath can signal heart failure, doctors warn

Doctors warn that suddenly waking at night unable to breathe — with relief coming only from sitting up or propping oneself up on several pillows — can be a symptom of heart problems rather than stress or a stuffy room. These episodes, known as orthopnoea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea, may be an early sign of heart failure. Anyone experiencing such symptoms is advised to consult a doctor.

Do people wait too long to see a doctor about potential heart disease symptoms?

FOMO generation ditches parties — quiet and solitude become the new luxury

A growing number of young Poles are consciously giving up parties, alcohol and constant socialising. Psychologist Kinga Soska-Zwierzyńska explains that society is exhausted and overstimulated. While exotic holidays were once the ultimate luxury, an hour without a phone or others' expectations has taken that role — a sign of a broader cultural shift among the FOMO generation.
