Slav Wojcik, aged 42, hadn't long finished his work as a personal trainer when he began shaking and feeling dizzy in May 2021.
As he went to bed, his condition worsened and when he began throwing up, his wife called for an ambulance, the MEN reports.
After Slav was rushed to the hospital, it was discovered that he had severe sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to an infection.
He told the Manchester Evening News: “I couldn’t stop shaking, it was the shock. My bladder, kidney and stomach stopped working.
"The next thing I was in an isolation room in critical condition plugged into loads of machines – then the fight for my life started.”
Slav’s blood pressure dropped to a dangerous level, his lungs began to fail and his heart stopped beating - twice.
Slav continued: “My blood pressure went so low they had to rescue me and bring me back to life.
“The first 48 hours are blurry; I had all these flashbacks.
"My heart stopped and started beating again and it happened twice over a few hours. It felt like being in a movie.
"At one point, I had an experience where I was outside my body and I could see myself on the bed talking to myself.
"It was like I was coming in and out of different dimensions.
“I would try and listen to what (the doctors) would tell me as much as I could, I kept calm.
"I made peace with the situation and I was ready. If I died, I achieve so much and lived the life I wanted to.”
After three days in intensive care, Slav’s swollen body began to return to normal, although he was still unable to move.
The infection led to heart failure which caused an irregular heartbeat.
It took six weeks for Slav’s
