Roman Kemp ‘thought he was going to die’
He explained: “Anyone whose had a panic attack knows exactly how it goes. All of a sudden your brain tells you, ‘You’re gonna die’ like ‘Call the ambulance right now, you’re about to die, you’re going to have a heart attack, you’re going to pass out’.
“And then every night for two weeks my heart was going. I was falling asleep with it and waking up with it so my body’s on edge the entire time, I can hear it in my ears.”
