In this film, Jeremy talks about the impact his OHCA has had on his life and family. He feels that his family have been brought closer together by what happened. His wife and family have been very supportive and he is thankful for what they have done. This was a major event for the family and, for a time after the OHCA happened, they became protective of Jeremy and worried about him. This passed, with time. At work, Jeremy found that his priorities had changed and things did not seem as important as before. He was initially afraid of going out alone in case he had an OHCA while there was nobody around. Although he was told that he could exercise again, Jeremy was psychologically unable to return to running.
This website provides support and information for those who have experienced an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), their families and those who have been bereaved by OHCA.
