FOUND: Man given devastating diagnosis after fizzy drink hurt going down throat - What They Never Told You

Tributes have flooded in for a man who died from a "silent killer".

James Robinson, from Bebington, first started having health issues when he began feeling pains in his chest and would hit it like he was trying to clear something. An echocardiogram (ECG) revealed he had heart block, which is when the heart beats slower or with an abnormal rhythm due to the electrical pulses controlling the heart beat being disrupted, according to the NHS.

Shelagh Robinson, James's mum, urged her son to get his symptoms checked by doctors, which he did. James changed his lifestyle, and by November 2021, things seemed to have reverted to normal.
