Sarah Baines, a 61 year old nurse from Hyde, was visiting Backbarrow, Ulverston in October last year when she suddenly fell ill. With the lift out of order, she began climbing the stairs to her apartment before becoming sick and collapsing with chest and back pain.
Her brother William promptly dialled 999 and paramedics arrived at the scene within 10 minutes. After conducting an Electrocardiogram (ECG), it was confirmed that Sarah was having a heart attack. Recounting the incident, Sarah said: "My brain just wasn't accepting it.
I kept asking how I could be having a heart attack. I am only 61; I work full time, and I go to the gym. "I had been experiencing back and shoulder pain for two weeks prior but attributed it to a work injury and recent shoulder surgery.
It was only when my top lip started twitching, and I got pins and needles in my jaw that I accepted that I had a heart attack." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
