A mum was told she could be dead within a year due to a "hidden illness" if she didn't lost weight.
Fiona Foulder, 39, from Southport, suffers from brittle asthma - a severe lung condition that results in breathing difficulties. She first ended up in intensive care due to the condition following the pregnancy with her second son where she began rapidly gaining weight.
She was in and out of hospital for years and was hooked up to a life support machine nine times. Eventually, the mum-of-two was told told she was too overweight for her condition and that she qualified for a new trial medication which could help bring her asthma under control.
