'I had a heart attack at a kids' play-date - I took my last breath before a miracle happened'
Sally Bee was watching her children play at a birthday party when she was gripped by an intense feeling of impending doom.
“I was really shocked when I found out,” Sally told the Manchester Evening News . “I had three doctors looking at the ECG saying, ‘This is telling us you’re having a heart attack but we don’t believe it’. Her heart had sustained so much damage, doctors told her husband and three young children to say their goodbyes. Sally took her final breath and closed her eyes for the last time.
“Life was really, really difficult. I spent two weeks in hospital with no prognosis of survival. Doctors didn’t think I would last the night. They couldn’t see how I could survive the damage my heart had sustained.” The arteries in Sally’s brain, neck, heart and legs are all affected, making her more prone to heart attacks and strokes. To date, she has suffered five heart attacks.
“I had a mini heart attack four months ago where I had chest pain and was taken to hospital. Blood tests showed I had an attack, but my heart is okay. I just have to have a very healthy lifestyle and eat healthy food and be as active as I can.”
