Herzerkrankung von den Doktoren übersehen: Dan Cipriani konnte dank seiner neuen Smartwatch selbst eine supraventrikuläre Tachykardie diagnostizieren
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Sarah Ingram
The symptoms were scary. Dan Cipriani’s heart rate would speed up and he would feel lightheaded and dizzy - sometimes while exercising and at others while he was at rest.
Dan first went to the doctor when he was 13 with sudden random onset palpitations, but he left the GP’s office without answers.
Dan went back another five times over the years and always left with doctors scratching their heads.
He was given a battery of tests; wearing a heart monitor for days on end or booking into hospital for echocardiograms and ECGs - but nothing was conclusive.
Meanwhile, the episodes kept happening. Dan’s heart rate would reach 220 BPM while sitting down; when it should have been between 60 and 100.
The 32-year-old banking director from London has always been fitness-mad.
He has run countless sub-three hour marathons, three ultra marathons including one 100-mile race and has competed in an Ironman.
He could not be healthier, but each time he would exercise, he would experience these troubling episodes.
‘They happened probably once a fortnight but then became more frequent over the last two years and would last longer, perhaps up to a minute,’ he says.
‘They also always happened during intense exercise. I did an Ironman triathlon and the London Marathon, and my heart rate jumped up to 220 beats a minute during the races, which was scary. I’ve had different diagnoses from stress with my work to potentially low blood sugar’, he explains.
Then, a year ago, he was finally given a diagnosis. After an event where his heart raced constantly at 220BPM, he decided he’d had enough and went back to his cardiologist and demanded answers.
‘My doctor told me to buy a Kardia monitor, which is an ECG device you attach to your phone so you can track a cardiac event when it happens. The day after I bought it, I had an episode and caught it with the monitor, sent it to my cardiologist, and he knew immediately what it w *** Lo

Hielt ihre Beschwerden für Covid: Bei der 27jährigen Evgenia aus London wurde eine aggressive Krebsart diagnostiziert

WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
For months, she brushed off the symptoms. The nagging pain in her shoulder blade, an irritating cough, and relentless fatigue all seemed like nothing serious.
But when Evgenia’s pain worsened, her energy drained, and a mysterious rash appeared, she knew something wasn’t right.
“I didn't really think that anything was going wrong until I really started feeling the pain in the shoulder blade getting more and more intense,” the 27-year-old says.
“I started coughing at some point as well, and this is when I thought maybe I’d got Covid. I didn't really pay much attention to it.
“Then it started getting really bad and I wouldn't be able to speak. I would cough all the time, and it really interfered with my day-to-day stuff.”
In March 2023 she decided to seek help. At first, doctors were unconcerned. An MRI of her neck revealed nothing alarming - except, by sheer luck, a small glimpse of a lump lower in her chest.
Evgenia, 25 at the time, was referred to a lung specialist but the appointment was delayed. Precious weeks ticked by before she could get further tests.
By the time she underwent a biopsy in July, her condition had deteriorated significantly.
The persistent cough made speaking difficult, everyday tasks left her exhausted, and what had started as a vague discomfort had become an overwhelming burden.
Then came the words no one ever expects to hear: Stage 4 lymphoma.
“I had a feeling before that I might have cancer,” Evgenia, from London, remembers. “I think actually knowing the diagnosis is much better than not knowing it.
“Of course I was upset and I couldn't believe the diagnosis for a bit, and I was like, ‘This cannot be happening to me. Why me?’
“But in a way it was a relief: when you don't know your diagnosis yet, you feel super frustrated because you know that you are getting worse and worse every day.

Andre Yarham, 22, who has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. See SWNS story SWLSdementia.

Natalie's 'thankful' bracelet charm with the date of her op. PA Real Life/Collect *** Terrified mum feared for her life when a routine eye test
revealed a satsuma-sized tumour lurking inside her skull
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A terrified mum feared she would not live to see her children's weddings when a routine eye
test detected a brain tumour the size of a satsuma lurking inside her skull.
A headache sufferer since childhood, when primary school financial officer Natalie Marriott, 40,
also started having blurred vision and dizziness five years ago she disagreed with the doctor's
diagnosis of migraines, so ignored her medication and sought no further help.
It was only when the mum-of-two, of Coalville, Leicestershire, who wears glasses for shortsightedness, went to Specsavers for her regular check-up on her day off on Thursday March 18
2021, that she discovered there was something seriously wrong.
Natalie, who has a daughter, aged nine, and a son, aged 12,with her financial compliance
officer husband, Paul Marriott, 41, said: They offered me an OCT (optical coherence
tomography) scan for an extra £10, which I agreed to.
"The optician noticed some swelling in my optic nerve and, to be on the safe side, they sent me
to eye casualty.
Arriving at Leicester Royal Infirmary at midday, tests confirmed her optic nerve was swollen
making doctors wonder if she had hydrocephalus, which is a build-up of fluid on the brain.
But a CT scan later that night revealed a large tumour in the front of her brain.
She said: It was a total shock. I was admitted straight onto the ward to wait for an MRI scan.
Luckily, Paul had been waiting around, so was with me when they broke the news.
I was in tears, thinking that was it and I was going to die. You just think the worst straight
away.

wedding.

Christina's heart function is still not back to normal. PA REAL LIFE *** Gym-bunny diagnosed with rare heart disease during pregnancy devastated to be told
a second baby could kill her
By Jessica Frank-Keyes and James Butler, PA Real Life
A "gymaholic" who longed for a bigger family has been told a second baby could kill
her after being struck by a rare heart disease in pregnancy which reduced its function
by at least two thirds.
Super-fit town planner Christina Marginson, 41, and her graphic designer husband,
Andrew, 37, were overjoyed when they discovered they were expecting Layla, now
nine, in 2011 - just months after tying the knot.
But, at 26 weeks, she began having palpitations and feeling breathless, going on to
be diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) a rare heart muscle disease
occurring during or soon after pregnancy, making the organ enlarged, weakened and
less able to pump blood efficiently.
Christina delivered baby Layla, who was born weighing 7lb, on February 7, 2012, by
planned C-section at 37 weeks, despite her doctors at one point worrying that the
strain the pregnancy was putting on her heart was endangering her life.
Now she has her beloved Layla - despite spending 48 hours in intensive care after the
traumatic delivery - the mum of Preston, Lancashire, would happily go through it all
again and regards the news that another pregnancy could kill her as a "tragedy".
She said: I grew up with a brother and Id always longed to have two children and to
give my daughter a sibling to play with.
I was in total denial at first and begged my consultants to change their minds.
It was heartbreaking.
In 2011, newly-weds Christina, who described herself as a "gymaholic", and Andrew
were delighted to discover they had a baby on the way.
