When Darren Peattie decided to revive the 200-year-old salt harvesting industry in a Fife coastal village he was "absolutely terrified of failing".
After months of surviving on 20-minute power naps on the factory floor his heart started palpitating wildly, he felt out of breath and dizzy. The second time he was taken to hospital the doctor took his bloods and said: "It's like you have been in the desert for a month."Darren was given three more bags of fluids, which put his heart into its normal rhythm.He was rushed to hospital for a third time."I thought 'this is it but I have a big order to get out of bespoke whisky sea salt'.
"The cardiologist took me aside and said 'Do you realise how lucky you are? You should not be walking out of here'."Surgeons are planning to operate to give him a catheter ablation - a procedure involving guiding a tube into the heart to destroy small areas of tissue that may be causing an abnormal heartbeat.
