julian isn t the kind of person you would expect to have a heart attack. a keen cyclist, healthy eating, doesn t smoke, in his early 50s, but last summer, out of the blue. a pretty normal day until about 4pm. and i had an enormous pain in my chest, vice like, and i said to my wife, i feel really, really ill. i lay down and the pain didn t go away. at any point did you think it might be a heart attack? i didn t think it would happen to me, i thought i was too young, fit and healthy, i had no underlying symptoms. the previous weekend i had been out on quite a long bike ride. so acting as normal, and then like a bolt out of the blue you get by huge pain in your chest and find yourself in papworth.
