Big mistake, huge. It [resulted in] a very big emergency in the middle of the night."I’m not even going to go into the treatment that was required as a result of that, because it was horrible. I didn’t ask a doctor, I just thought, ‘I’m sure it will be all right to go back on blood thinners’."Clarkson, who now presents the TV programme Clarkson's Farm, said two years ago that he went to hospital in an ambulance and had a stent fitted, which opens up narrowed or blocked arteries.‌When he stood up he "struggled" with swimming, and could not descend a flight of stairs "without holding someone's hand"."I certainly wasn’t having a heart attack. But if it hadn’t looked that way, I never would have been sent to hospital," he said at the time."These problems all manifested themselves in one day, which made the rest of my holiday extremely relaxing because all I did was sit in a chair drinking wine and eating cheese.‌"Back at home, though, the sudden deterioration began to gather pace," he said.
