Jade, also a financial controller, said: “I never thought I’d be impacted by a heart condition. “I never thought someone of my age and fitness level could have a heart condition, but the truth is heart disease can affect anyone at any time.” In Christmas 2018 Jade contracted a flu-like virus - and in January she was suffering with fatigue and heart palpitations. “I got fobbed off when I was first ill but eventually I was checked out.” Jade said she “might not be here today” without research funded by British Heart Foundation.
