• RAZA - thought bubble - I can’t cycle to work anymore and my heart is beating hard in my chest. Am I just unfit or is there something going on?
• Raza (says) I’m not sure if I should mention this but I can"t do as much as I used to and my heart feels funny at times. PN -thought bubble - I wonder why this guy is breathless, I think it might be heart failure - what should I look for?
