Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is a blood test that measures levels of a protein called BPN that is made by your heart and blood vessels.

Measuring BNP levels in the blood through a blood test can help doctors to determine whether a patient’s shortness of breath is due to heart failure, or to some other cause.

Heart failure, ooo what joy😜😂💩🫀🤣😉🐈‍⬛🦎🧠👅👀

When I first went into hospital in December 2019, my attitude was that there was nothing that a bullet and a gun couldn't fix. That's changed when the cancer treatment worked. So now Fred (heart) wants in on the act with Cedric! Spoilt brat organ's.....tut tut 🤣🤣😉🧠🫀🫁😭❓⁉️🍀❤️🌻
