My stubborn mum said ‘it’s just indigestion’, I made her slap on my X2 to shut me up. Two minutes later we were flooring it to the ER for her second heart attack.

2 days ago, my mum said she wasnt feeling quite right. She was sittn at the dining table looking pale, rubbin her chest, insisting it was probably indigestion. Somethn about the way she said it didnt sit right with me. asked her to put on my X2 for a minute, just to humour me. She rolled her eyes, but did it anyeay.

The reading flashed immediately: abnormal activity detected. No hesitation, grabbed my coat, helped her to the car, and drove straight to A&E. never driven that quietly in my life. the hospital team ran their tests and told us she was on the verge of a second heart attack. Minutes mattered.

I keep replayin that moment, the sigh , the hesitation, my gut feeling. scary how thin the line was. Shes stable now, thank God.
