AceShowbiz - Singer Tom Odell was rushed to hospital amid fears he was having a stroke after his split from model Sydney Lima.
The British musician split with his ex last year 2018, and told Fearne Cotton on her "Happy Place" podcast about the terrifying ordeal that followed.
"I went through a very painful breakup with someone who I loved very much, still love very much," the "Another Love" star said, adding that work had also been piling up around the same time.
"I'd been feeling strange for a month," he continued. "I couldn't define what I felt and then one day I completely collapsed in the shower in Munich."
Tom recalled struggling to breathe, describing it as a "very very severe panic attack," and called the incident "absolutely terrifying."
"Since then I've been dealing with it and I'm a lot better now," the 29-year-old insisted, explaining he'd never had a panic attack before and didn't know what one was.
"I thought a panic attack was pacing up and down going, 'Am I gonna get fired?' " he said.
He added that he didn't think the panic attack was triggered by one single thing, and confessed that while he'd been "worried" about how new music would be received, he didn't think it was "that specifically."
