Dutch striker Bas Dost confirmed this Thursday that the fainting spell he suffered last Sunday in a match between NEC Nijmegen and AZ Alkmaar was due to myocarditis, but still I don’t know the exact reasons and that he was “lucky” to be reborn in the field.
Dost – he noted in a statement on his team’s website.
I just found out from my cardiologist the reason for what happened to me during the AZ-NEC game. I’ve had a lot of tests done in recent days and they showed that I have inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). There can be several causes of inflammation of the heart muscle, and the consequences can be very serious, but I was lucky that I was successfully resuscitated in the field.
