    Looks and sounds like a problem I had a few years ago, the same thing happened to me, I just dropped to the floor and my heart was racing at over two hundred beats / min. Turns out I'd had Atrial Fibrillation and never knew about it until this happened. Still affects me to this day. Here's hoping the lad get's through this.

    Bloody hell, man. That sounds like a nightmare-glad you're ok now.

    Hopefully, with the photo of him conscious and receiving oxygen on the stretcher and UEFA tweeting that he's been stabilized then he's heading for the same outcome.

    Me too Cannylad.
    It was only discovered when I had a medical for a new job.
    The doc said the ECG machine was bust, so fetched a new one. Same results.
    It was me that was bust!

    I had never had a black out, just a couple of dizzy spells. The specialist said I was really fit and my heart was very strong. ! was running marathons and training 80-90 miles a week in those days - so he reckoned that helped.
    I have since had a couple of cardioversions and now take blood thinners every day.

    My mate however had a similar experience to you. He sat down for a cup of coffee and woke up in the RVI.
    He had absolutely no recollection of what happened in between.

    Stay healthy!

    Yes, my problem is basically electrical the heart muscle is fine. I'm due to go in for a third heart ablation but this covid has slowed down the system. I can't tolerate blood thinners so they performed a "Watchman Device" procedure to stop or limit any blood clots in the heart and implanted a pacemaker which also monitors my heart and sends information directly to the hospital if there are any abnormalities. The vast majority of the time I feel fine and don't even think about it.

    Well that was a terrible performance even by Scotland’s standards.

    Aye, it was very disappointing. Poor decision-making at crucial times cost you.
