A Wales rugby international has revealed he has been diagnosed with a heart condition.
Archie Griffin, who also plays for Bath, has been named in the Wales squad for next month’s Autumn internationals.
The Australian-born prop made his debut for Wales earlier this year and has so far made three international appearances.
The 23-year-old last played for his club on 20 September when he was taken ill.
Griffin saw medical experts and has revealed he was diagnosed with pericarditis.
The condition is an inflammation of the protective sac around the heart, according to the British Heart Foundation.
The NHS says the main symptom is chest pains and that most people feel better within a few weeks.
While not usually serious, the NHS adds that it can cause serious health problems.

In an interview with MailOnline, Griffin said he played in his last game against Northampton while he had pericarditis.
“I had to take lots of medication. I had two weeks off exercise, apart from walking my dog, before slowly getting back into full training,” he said.
“It did come out of nowhere. It was really scary, actually. I woke up on the Monday and it felt like someone was stood on my chest it was that tight.”
While the condition “didn’t impact [his] fitness”, he said it’s “something [he’ll] monitor”.
Griffin will now be hoping to be included in the Wales team to play against Fiji on 10 November.
