I would like to thank you for actually saving my nan's life! She is 81 and had been feeling unwell. She decided to sit down with a cuppa and sort through her recent paper work when she came across a leaflet from the BHF which had been posted through the door. It had a check list on it of symptoms taht signalled danger.
As she sat there she started ticking them off and at first thought she was being stupid but she went straight to her doctor for reassurance. As soon as she showed him the symptoms on this checklist that she had he called an ambulance and had her rushed into hospital - she was about to have a heart attack.
Although she had never smoked, drank and always ate wll, there was a history of sudden death in her family and she needed a triple bypass.
A year later she is fit and well and travelling all over the country! Her life was saved by junk mail sent through the post!
Thank you BHF for giving us the gift of our wonderful grandmother for many more years to come!
