My condition made me realise how precious life is!
June will mark 4 years since I first discovered something wasn’t right. I was playing pool at the time in a competition match for prize money. There was a lot of pressure and my body could feel it. I was winning 1-0 and all of a sudden I started to go dizzy so I decided […]
I feel like me again by Nicole McShane
12 years ago, last year, last week or even yesterday; it doesn’t matter how long ago it was when they died of an undiagnosed genetic heart condition, unfortunately, they’re still not here today and the pain of losing them most likely won’t have subsided. However as time moves on, you’ll remember what it feels like […]
My VT story
Hi there, I’m Laura from Belfast and I’m 31. I’ve been having palpitations I think since I was about 18. They went undiagnosed for a long time, or misdiagnosed should I say as anxiety and stress. When I was 26 I was going through a quite stressful period, my mum was in the final stages […]

CRY Fundraising Adventure
PLOP! I slipped over and fell hard on my bottom. The ground was wet and cold on this side of Hadrian’s Wall, and it had been raining solidly for six hours. My partner handed me a slab of Kendal Mint Cake, and as I munched it, sniffling, a hearty Hexham native strode past us. “Having […]
Fiction vs Reality of Brugada
When I read that Eastenders had done a Brugada Storyline with one of their characters, I decided to check it out on BBC Iplayer. Many years ago Eastenders had a slogan ‘Everyone Talking About It’ oddly for me nobody was talking about it. I didn’t get messages or comments from friends or family, I came across […]
Hadrian’s Wall – Completed!
We did it! My partner and I walked along Hadrian’s Wall from Carlisle to Newcastle in just four days, and raised nearly £350 for CRY in the process. We bounced out of the door bright and early on the first day, full of energy and ready for the challenging 20 miles ahead of us. But […]
Ablation for WPW??
Hi, I’m new to this and looking for any information or advice people can give 🙂 I was diagnosed with WPW 10 years ago now when I was 14 and have been on Atenolol ever since. The medication has done an amazing job of controlling my symptoms and minimising episodes but of course they are […]
