Irish dad's warning as he avoids major heart attack after watching Facebook video
A dad-of-two who was having heart attack symptoms but was reluctant to seek help during the current pandemic has urged others not to ignore the warning signs.
Belfast Live reports that it was lucky he did take action after doctor's discovered two badly blocked arteries. "I’d been having some chest pain for about three weeks, but last Saturday morning I woke up and it was severe. I didn’t want to be a burden on the health service in the current situation and the thoughts of catching the virus were also in my mind, but I watched a video which asked people not to put off calling the hospital and it gave a contact number.
"You’re always worried about what’s going to happen if you have to be treated in hospital in the current crisis, but I was kept away from any risk of the virus and the staff were all wearing full protective gear. "With badly stenosed arteries, Ryan was very close to having a heart attack but was treated in time. The longer you leave it, the bigger the risk.”
