Dyble said he experienced chest pain for four days before being taken to hospital and he had no idea that his symptoms could be linked to a heart attack.<\/p>\n
“I naively thought it was just really, really bad heartburn,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I thought, I’ll go to work in the morning and on the way home from work, I’ll nip into to the chemist and and try to get something else to shift it.”<\/p>\n
During a personal training session with a client, he said the pain was “horrendous” and travelled down his arm and neck, so he left work early to rest at home.<\/p>\n
Although he still “hadn’t put two and two together”, he called 111 to describe his symptoms and an ambulance was dispatched immediately.<\/p>\n
Dyble said it was a “surreal experience” to be driven under sirens and lights to Leeds General Infirmary, where he was rushed straight to the operating theatre.<\/p>\n
He had emergency surgery to clear a blockage in a left ventricle artery and was later told he could have been 45 minutes away from his heart stopping entirely.<\/p>\n
“It was a really big shock. Not just for me, but for my family and for people that knew me as well,” he said.<\/p>\n
While in recovery, a consultant told him he had widespread coronary heart disease, which although classed as mild to moderate, needed to be managed with medication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dyble said he experienced chest pain for four days before being taken to hospital and he had no…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[64,63,538,137],"class_list":{"0":"post-418462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
