Hazeem

Hazeem had Covid in August 2021 and spent three days in hospital. An ECG detected an abnormal heart rhythm, and he was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome (the condition affects the way electrical signals pass through the heart and it can cause the heart to beat dangerously fast). He lost his sense of taste and smell; his taste has returned but his sense of smell is limited. Hazeem’s body strength has reduced, and he gets more tired and out of breath much faster, which limits how much he can do in one day. His plans for work have changed since having Covid but he is hoping he will be able to find some other work. He draws strength from his Muslim faith and hopes for a better future. Hazeem was interviewed in May 2022.
