Jamie Dornan hospitalized with heart attack symptoms thanks to toxic caterpillars: ‘Very lucky’ to be alive

“The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected” podcast, Smart revealed that they first thought they’d had too many drinks the night before – but, the culprit turned out to be processionary caterpillars, which are toxic.Smart said, “We had a great time the first day, played loads of golf, went out, lots of wine was drunk and then we got on to espresso martinis.”But the next day, they were all, “Absolutely dreadful.”He described his symptoms as, “Tingling in my left hand and then tickling in my left arm.

I’m the son of a GP and thought, ‘This is normally the sign of the start of a heart attack. Now, I’m a fairly healthy guy but once you start thinking, you’re having a heart attack, you’re pretty sure that you’re convincing yourself that you are having one.”He went to the hospital, he said, where his resting heart rate was found to be extremely high.When the doctor asked him to list what he had been drinking the previous day, he said, “As a Scottish man in Portugal, when you start saying, ‘Well, I think there were nine bottles of white wine, I had six espresso martinis,’ and I could see him shaking his head disgusted with the Scottish specimen in front of him.”When Smart was discharged from the hospital and returned to his hotel, he saw the “Fifty Shades of Grey” actor hooked up to medical equipment, too, having gone through his own scare. “Jamie said, ‘Dear me.

Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm went numb, my left leg went numb, my right leg went numb, and I found myself in the back of an ambulance,’” Smart revealed.

He also shared that as Dornan left the hospital, “The paramedics asked for a selfie, which is really what you want when you’re being wheeled out of a hospital room.”Dornan has previously spoken out.
