Recalling the moment he realised something was wrong, he said: “I got an alert from Heart Watch that my heart rate was continually above my resting heart rate of 54, even when I was just sitting at my desk.

“That along with other symptoms I was having was enough data I needed to act on it, and realise it wasn’t a panic attack (since I have severe generalised anxiety), that it was something more.”

A CT scan highlighted the clots and he was then rushed to hospital, he remembers “they did a couple of ultrasounds to monitor and put me on a blood thinner drip to reverse the clot damage”.
