  "account": "Denise Warner, a 57-year-old woman originally from the United States now living in London, survived a heart attack last May after initially dismissing her unusual symptoms. While watching television, Warner noticed her arms and hands tingling, and later felt a vice-like pressure in her chest. Despite not experiencing typical heart attack symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, she threw up unexpectedly, prompting her to remember comedian Rosie O'Donnell's warning about HEPPP symptoms. Warner recounted these symptoms to her wife and sought immediate medical attention, leading to a confirmed cardiac event. She underwent angioplasty to restore blood flow and shared O'Donnell's acronym with her medical team. Warner later expressed her gratitude to O'Donnell on social media, praising her openness and kindness.",
