A video was shot three years ago with the consent of Sara who has agreed for it to be released to highlight her condition. The video was shot by medics assessing Sara at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, South Yorks. on June 27, 2012, a report in The Telegraph adds.

Sara was diagnosed with the condition four years ago and during each episode experiences rapid palpitations cause her heart to stop beating and her blood pressure to plummet to an extent where doctors record it as clinically dead.
