What began as a \u201cnormal morning\u201d quickly turned tragic when she experienced mild chest pain, felt nauseous, and suddenly blacked out. She remembers nothing until waking up in the hospital days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers at her school acted swiftly, performing CPR and using a defibrillator to restart her heart, which had stopped for five minutes. She was later airlifted to Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital and placed in a medically induced coma for three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evelyn had previously reported chest pains to doctors, but they dismissed her symptoms as anxiety\u2014never investigating further. Now recovering with an internal defibrillator implanted, Evelyn is speaking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m frustrated. If I were older, maybe they\u2019d have taken it seriously,\u201d she said. \u201cYou know your body better than anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her mother, Jennifer, has since launched <em>Young Hearts UK<\/em>, raising awareness of sudden cardiac arrest in youth. She stresses the importance of CPR and AED training: \u201cTwelve young people under 35 die each week from SCA in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=60376\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teen Warns Others After Doctors Ignored Chest Pain Before Collapse Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Walker from Hertfordshire, UK, is urging others to trust their bodies after collapsing from cardiac&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60421"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60421"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60423,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60421\/revisions\/60423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/60422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
