> When we came out of the caves into the daylight and realised we still had hundreds of feet to climb before reaching the ‘lift’, my sister collapsed in pain and despair, my friend and I were in tears, and I had a literally heart attack. I don’t know how we found the strength to get ourselves out of there. We were the last out of the caves having been overtaken by four later tours. The guide told us they had been worried about us before we went down but as we’d said we were sure they didn’t think to warn us. They also said that had they needed to call the mountain rescue we would have missed our ship because it would have taken ages.
When I developed the chest pain and couldn’t breathe I knew it was bad but didn’t realise at the time how bad, and it did settle to a dull ache. We missed the next part of our tour as we just weren’t fit.
Two nights later in the coronary care unit back home when I was told I was lucky to be alive I realised just how close I’d come to losing my life that day. My diagnosis is stress induced cardiomyopathy with mild heart failure. I had been perfectly healthy before this trip but it has permanently damaged my heart.
