Case of life and death for one Man United fan during crunch games

ONE Manchester United fan knows exactly what is meant when people say football is a matter of life and death. Without treatment, the 58-year-old woman is in danger of dying from stress while watching her team play.

Doctors diagnosed “Addisonian crisis”, a rare and life-threatening condition caused by lack of the stress hormone, cortisol.

Towards the end of high-profile matches at Old Trafford, the woman suffered episodes of anxiety, palpitations, panic, light-headedness, and a sense of doom.
