A man who was lucky to survive a major stroke is warning others to be aware of the symptoms. Lee Pemberton was in his early 30s when he began to feel unwell, even feeling like bricks had been attached to his arms and legs as he discovered the truth.
Retail worker Lee was at home in Leicester when he first felt unwell in June 2017. With every heartbeat, he began to feel more unwell and he was beginning to worry.
“My heart began racing, to the point where my whole body shook with every heartbeat. I knew something was wrong and luckily, I managed to call a friend who lives around the corner from where I live to take me to my local urgent care centre," he told LeicestershireLive. Whilst he was on his way, I walked down the path from where I live but when I got to the end of the path I just collapsed into a heap on the floor.”
