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

WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.
“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.
“In my early years at school, I only needed to sit closer to the board, but beyond that, I didn’t notice anything different. I guess what I saw—how I saw—was just my normal.
“When I first started squinting, my parents thought I probably just needed glasses for short-sightedness, like the other kids in my class.

She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.

As a couple, they spent their time together enjoying takeaway meals, drinking alcohol, lazing on the couch watching television - and asking themselves why they were putting on weight.
Nathan Arreola, 28, and Christina Angela Dains, 30, were both struggling with health issues such as reflux, pre-diabetes and depression — but hadn’t made the connection that their weight was affecting their health and wellbeing.
“Most of our time spent together consisted of take-out meals, alcohol consumption, and being inactive,” Nathan remembers.
“We spent a lot of time complaining and asking ourselves why we were putting on so much bad weight, while stuffing our faces on the couch watching television.
“We would often try and cook healthier meals, to the best of our knowledge then, but it would usually spoil and go to waste because we couldn’t fight off the craving, leaving us to eating out or ordering in from the local pizza shop.
“My lifestyle was a far cry from anything resembling healthy. As a kid, I’d always been the skinny, scrawny one in the crowd—lanky and light. But as I transitioned into adulthood, that changed.
“Laziness crept in, and I stopped paying attention to what I was putting into my body—food and alcohol became thoughtless habits. The heaviest I ever got was 210 pounds (95 kilos), a number that still jolts me when I think about it.
“Growing up, I hovered around 150 pounds (68 kilos), so ballooning to over a third more than my norm was a shocking departure. I’d flip through old photos from my early twenties, struck by how slim I once was, almost missing that version of myself.
“Clothes told the story too—I went from slipping comfortably into medium shirts to squeezing into them, eventually surrendering to a wardrobe of larger sizes that felt foreign.

Besseres Liebesleben durch Diäterfolg - Christina Angela Dains und Nathan Arreola aus Bakersfield haben zusammen 34 Kilo abgenommen und finden sich jetzt wieder attraktiv

WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
As a couple, they spent their time together enjoying takeaway meals, drinking alcohol, lazing on the couch watching television - and asking themselves why they were putting on weight.
Nathan Arreola, 28, and Christina Angela Dains, 30, were both struggling with health issues such as reflux, pre-diabetes and depression — but hadn’t made the connection that their weight was affecting their health and wellbeing.
“Most of our time spent together consisted of take-out meals, alcohol consumption, and being inactive,” Nathan remembers.
“We spent a lot of time complaining and asking ourselves why we were putting on so much bad weight, while stuffing our faces on the couch watching television.
“We would often try and cook healthier meals, to the best of our knowledge then, but it would usually spoil and go to waste because we couldn’t fight off the craving, leaving us to eating out or ordering in from the local pizza shop.
“My lifestyle was a far cry from anything resembling healthy. As a kid, I’d always been the skinny, scrawny one in the crowd—lanky and light. But as I transitioned into adulthood, that changed.
“Laziness crept in, and I stopped paying attention to what I was putting into my body—food and alcohol became thoughtless habits. The heaviest I ever got was 210 pounds (95 kilos), a number that still jolts me when I think about it.
“Growing up, I hovered around 150 pounds (68 kilos), so ballooning to over a third more than my norm was a shocking departure. I’d flip through old photos from my early twenties, struck by how slim I once was, almost missing that version of myself.

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?’
