Kyla Blight, 17, was at a friend’s house for a sleepover when she collapsed and turned “blue” early on May 11, Metro reported. She underwent surgery for 5½ hours to remove part of her lung after nearly going into cardiac arrest, the report said.“It was terrifying for me,” he was quoted by Metro as saying. “I cried like a baby. It was horrible to watch. I’ve been with her the whole time.”“They said she went blue,” he said. “They thought she was gone.”
“All my friends were doing it,” she told Metro. “I just thought it would be harmless and that I would be fine. But now I won’t touch them. I wouldn’t go near them. The situation has really scared me out of them.”According to the report, she was hospitalised in November 2023 with a suspected heart attack. An X-ray showed a hole in her lung after a bleb had formed. She was taken to hospital again in February 2024, and was told the bleb had healed.
