Katona’s mother Sue says she’s lucky to be alive after suffering string of terrifying heart attacks

Kerry Katona’s mother Sue has admitted she’s lucky to be alive after suffering a number of heart of attacks over a period of a ‘few weeks’.

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 41, revealed her mother was in hospital after a string of heart attacks last week.

And Sue, 62, has now described the situation as ‘scary’ and ‘intense’ saying she may not still be here if it wasn’t for eventual medical intervention.

She explained to OK! magazine: ‘I had a tight chest and a pain in my left arm, so I was using the medication I usually take for angina, which is a spray I put under my tongue…

‘But this time I felt that something wasn’t right. I kept getting a weird pain in my throat and I couldn’t get my head around it.’

She said she had been experiencing pain about twice a week before they became more severe last Thursday.

She added: ‘I was in pain throughout the Wednesday night, right up until Thursday morning. By this point, I knew something was seriously wrong, so I ended up phoning an ambulance and they took me in.  

‘They did lots of tests on me and that’s when they told me I’d suffered a heart attack.’

Sue said the doctor told her she’d had a series of small heart attacks in the few weeks prior to her going in to hospital and described the news as a ‘shock’.

She concluded: ‘I live alone and it’s scary. I feel very, very lucky to be alive.’
