“My heartbeat was 160bpm, whereas when I was an athlete, it was around 50. Basically, I was about to have a heart attack,” Signori told Il Resto del Carlino newspaper.
“From a simple check-up, I went straight to cardiology intensive care, where I remained for five days. I could feel the tachycardia and was really tired. They discovered I had a pulmonary embolism.
“It was a bolt from the blue, but the worst is behind me now.”
