A man who said he always believed his prominent leg veins were a purely cosmetic issue only to one day start mysteriously began fainting. The nightmare began when Paul McStay was putting up the Christmas tree with his three young children.
Suddenly he collapsed on the floor. “I’d been sawing off a section of the tree so it would fit the stand,” explains Paul, 44. “But as I stood up, I passed out for a few seconds.
“I felt very woozy and had no idea what had happened or why. The children called my wife Clare, who was equally shocked.”
