Welcome to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association!
Tom Curtis
About a week before my 15th birthday, I remember waking up randomly, and noticed I couldn't breathe, my brother luckily was sleeping in my room that night because we watched a film together and fell asleep, so I was able to wake him with my last breaths, he asked my mum to ring an ambulance but she didn't believe me, she thought I was attention seeking and said go to bed, my brother thought something was definitely wrong but she wouldn't let him ring for help.
