A 40-year-old dad of five needed an urgent heart transplant after weeks of feeling breathless before he collapsed. Gareth Jones' life turned upside down when he became ill very suddenly in June 2022.
The plumber started to experience feeling breathless and struggled to carry his tools. He was prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection and before a second GP prescribed him Beta blockers, suspecting he was having panic attacks.
However after taking one tablet, Gareth from Felinheli in north Wales, became ill and was struggling to breath so his mum took him to A&E. It was there, he collapsed.
