He'd had a heart attack and had no idea

A Leeds man spent weeks in hospital enduring consecutive cancellations after going in to have his "uncomfortable breathing checked" only to find out he had suffered a heart attack and didn't even know it.

Andy has a diabetic condition that affects the nerves in his body, which meant he suffered a "silent heart attack. Dr Betsy Evans, one of six consultant surgeons at LGI was tasked with saving Andrew's life together with her team said Andrew could have dropped dead: "He is an in patient on ward 16, type two diabetes.

"The sort of pain that you typically of describe in heart attacks doesn't always occur in diabetics patients. They can have what we call silent heart attacks. They are not aware of the classic symptom of central crushing chest pain. They could drop dead." Andrew's surgery was rescheduled a few more times, before he was assigned to another surgeon and given a confirmed time slot to get his surgery. Andy spent two days in intensive care after finally getting surgery."They have jut said here you go. We have given you everything back. Go do something with it."
