Galway Bay FM presenter Ollie Turner bravely reveals heart failure diagnosis
April 25, 2024
Galway Bay FM presenter Ollie Turner has bravely revealed he was diagnosed with Heart Failure last year. Heart Failure is said to impact one in five people, and occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. It usually happens because the heart has become too weak or stiff. Sports presenter Ollie began to suffer from breathlessness in February 2023, before going on to show his symptoms to medics in June. ‘The most important moment in my journey was when I underwent an assessment at Westdoc in Tuam. The results of an ECG showed I had a fast irregular heartbeat and this put to bed any notions that my symptoms were simply down to stress or lack of fitness. I was sent to UHG where blood tests prompted an echocardiogram, which picked up a drop in my pump function, as the heart was struggling to keep up with the fast beat. I was diagnosed with heart failure. Up to that point heart failure had not been detected despite a number of visits to the GP but I knew myself that there was more going on than anxiety,’ he said. Ollie added: ‘I would encourage anyone with concerning symptoms to insist on getting a full assessment from their GP.’

Emil Midé Erichsen needs to return home with sinus infection
April 25, 2024
Copenhagen - A bad sinus infection has sent sailor, lecturer and author Emil Midé Erichsen home to Denmark from a trip with his family on the ship "Havana" in the Caribbean. He states this on Instagram. “My options to be treated in the Caribbean ran out, and in consultation with a sinus expert and our insurance, it has been decided that I will have surgery at home. Because to walk around being sick is no longer a tenable situation,” writes Emil Midé Erichsen in the post. At the same time, he emphasizes that the situation is temporary, and that he and his wife, Louise, and the couple's two young sons will set course for the Caribbean when his body is ready again. “Our journey has taken an unexpected turn, but the adventure is not over. We just went on ‘holiday’ in Denmark. As soon as I'm back on top again, we'll travel home to ‘Havana’ and continue where we left off,” writes Emil Midé Erichsen.

HDFC in hot water after ex-journalist 'denied' coverage for medical emergency
April 22, 2024
HDFC ERGO, an insurance provider known for its wide range of products and services, including comprehensive auto and health insurance policies, has come under scrutiny following allegations from a former journalist. Preeti Chobey revealed that she faced a challenging situation when she unexpectedly lost consciousness and was rushed to a hospital, despite being covered by insurance from the company. However, Chobey claimed that her medical expenses were not covered as expected, as the insurance company denied her claim, attributing her condition to a purported “tension”-related illness. Preeti Chobey claimed in a post on the microblogging site X that she was admitted to Medanta because of an unexpected loss of consciousness and the particular hospital is covered by her HDFC ERGO general insurance. She was referred to the ICU heart by doctors. Afterwards, she said that HDFC refuted her claim, saying it was the result of “tension.”

Elderly man collapses while playing badminton in M’sia, other players rush to resuscitate him
April 22, 2024
An elderly man has collapsed during a badminton game in Malaysia. Video footage of the incident surfaced on a Malaysian Facebook page, showing the man in the middle of a game, moments before he fell. Another video shows people attempting to resuscitate him after he fell unconscious. It is unclear what’s the condition of the elderly man. After going back and forth with his opponents and returning a few serves, the man is seen walking backwards towards the edge of the court. He then falls unexpectedly onto his back. He attempts to get up, but is unable to, only weakly lifting his right arm in the air. Other players then rush to his side before the clip ends. A second video in the Facebook post showed multiple people crowding around the elderly man while he lay unconscious. A man in a turquoise shirt can be seen hitting the elderly man’s legs, attempting to startle him awake. Another was seen pinching the elderly man’s toes, while a man in a luminous yellow top looked to be performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the body. Internet users who saw the video were shocked and dismayed, with some suggesting that the elderly not exercise too intensely. Some also expressed hope that the man is doing fine.

Too Hot to Handle’s Harry Jowsey shares skin cancer diagnosis
April 26, 2024
Harry Jowsey is getting candid about his personal health journey. The Too Hot to Handle alum shared that he was diagnosed with skin cancer after a recent visit to the doctor led to the discovery of a cancerous mole. "There isn't really an easy way to say this," Harry began an April 26 TikTok video, "but last week, I went to a dermatologist to get my skin checked, and they found some skin cancer on me." The 26-year-old admitted that he had "no idea" going into the appointment that the mole was cancerous, explaining, "I've had this on my shoulder for, like, a year or two." And while Harry said the whole experience has been "very scary," he also insisted that he would be "all good," adding, "Everything's going to be OK." But Harry—who debuted his podcast Boyfriend Material back in February—didn't only share his diagnosis to keep fans updated on his personal life. The Dancing With the Stars alum also had an important piece of advice to offer in light of the news. "I just wanted to make this post to let you know that summer is around the corner," Harry said. "Please wear your sunscreen. Please wear it. Please go get your skin checked. If you're a frecky little frog like me, go get a mole map and get your body checked because you never know."
