Lung blood clot hits Knights' Johns
Injured Newcastle captain Andrew Johns was reportedly in hospital with a
blood clot in his lungs after season-ending knee surgery.
The star halfback complained of chest pains and spent a sleepless night
on Thursday struggling to breathe before seeing club specialist Dr Neil
Halpin the Daily Telegraph reported.
He was admitted to Newcastle's John Hunter Hospital where scans
confirmed the blood clot.
Johns was on medication to break down the clot and is expected to remain
in hospital for up to three days.
"I was struggling to breathe and hardly slept at all last night," Johns
told the Daily Telegraph.
Halpin said the clot was a serious health concern.
"People die from blood clotting," Halpin said.
"If it is not treated, it can be life-threatening."
Johns said he had been worried about the clot.
"I didn't know what was going on, I had to sit up to get my breath and I
had these chest pains as well.
"Neil took one look at me this morning and put me straight back into
hospital. It looks like I will be in here for up to three or four days.
I just can't seem to take a trick."
