Remembering back to May 2021 when he was 44 years old, Jason recalled going on his usual run when he experienced a heart attack.<\/p>\n
He said: “I felt extreme breathlessness, but thought I had just breathed in cold air.”<\/p>\n
While he felt “no further symptoms” on the same day that the blood flow to his heart got interrupted, other sensations appeared later.<\/p>\n
“On the third day, I felt some discomfort in my chest, which I put down to indigestion,” Jason revealed.<\/p>\n
“On the fifth day, after a workout, I felt extremely hot and generally unwell.”<\/p>\n
