A mum who has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition said she felt 'fit and well' before she suddenly collapsed on her kitchen floor. Sophie Elliott was a 19-year-old law student at the time when she said she experienced 'the worst chest pain ever.
Doctors diagnosed her with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. This is where there is an extra electrical connection in the heart and causes the heart to beat abnormally fast.
The mum-of-two said her life became 'dominated' by her heart condition for a considerable time. But, despite her setbacks Sophie bravely plans to run the London marathon after years of 'strict' restrictions on her lifestyle, the MEN reports.
