A 22-year-old fitness coach has praised the support she received from the British Heart Foundation after having a heart attack.

On January 6 avid gym-goer Faith Harrison was feeling fit and healthy when she drove more than an hour to Stafford to play in a hockey match. She played well, assisting two goals and sprinting around the pitch during the game.

“I did wonder if something serious was going on, but I could speak and move so I thought I was ok. I never thought it could be to do with my heart. “My dad rang 999, but the call handler said it was probably anxiety or a panic attack. By this time, I knew something was seriously wrong, so Sam and my dad took me to A&E at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.”Doctors told Faith she needed to be taken by ambulance to Royal Stoke University Hospital, the nearest heart centre.
