Former Team GB sprinter and Gladiators star Montell Douglas recently faced a terrifying health scare due to debilitating period pains, leading to an emergency ambulance call and hospitalisation. Despite her athletic prowess, the 38-year-old describes the pain as 'agonising' and in 'waves', causing her body to convulse and overheat.
Olympic sprinter Montell Douglas , who's also set to dazzle on Strictly Come Dancing, had a terrifying health scare when she began convulsing from pain, leading to an emergency call for an ambulance in what she describes as a "wake up call." In tip-top condition and always ready for a challenge, Montell shines as a former Team GB star and record-setting runner for the 100m.
After calling an ambulance herself and being admitted to hospital and put on a drip, the Gladiators star partnered with Bupa to raise awareness about dysmenorrhoea. She's speaking out to encourage women to get help for their painful, heavy or irregular periods. She opened up about the impact on her training and competition, saying: "It can be really defeating, there have been times in my sporting career and also being doubled over with pain, lying doubled over in pain in bed, or if I've made it to the track to train I'm just lying on the floor. The waves are so intense, not only are you focusing on what you're trying to do, which is always high level, it's very distracting.
