Rod Stewart has revealed his 11-year-old son had to be rushed to hospital after collapsing at a football match, amid fears he had suffered a heart attack after turning 'blue'.

Speaking to FourFourTwo magazine, Stewart, 77, recalled how 'scary' it was to see Aiden taken to hospital in an ambulance after playing for his under-12s team.

It later transpired that the youngster had experienced a panic attack.

"We thought my boy had a heart attack," Stewart said.

"He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down. It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack."

The singer shares son Aiden with wife Penny Lancaster Stewart, and also has seven other kids.

Stewart added that his son had 'wanted to do well' in the match, saying Aiden had 'pulled on the hoops in Scotland for his dad'.

He added that one of Aiden's teammates had also fallen backwards and banged his head, meaning a second ambulance had to be called.

"In all of my days watching football, that's the only time two ambulances had been called," the star said.

According to the NHS, most panic attacks last between five and 20 minutes, although they can last up to an hour.

Sufferers experience a 'rush of intense mental and physical symptoms' - which can come on very quickly and for no apparent reason - including a racing heartbeat, chest pain, feeling faint, shortness of breath, sweating and nausea.

"Although panic attacks are frightening, they're not dangerous," the NHS website says.

"An attack will not cause you any physical harm, and it's unlikely you'll be admitted to hospital if you have one.

"Be aware that most of these symptoms can also be symptoms of other conditions or problems, so you may not always be experiencing a panic attack.

"For example, you may have a racing heartbeat if you have very low blood pressure."

Meanwhile, symptoms of a heart attack can include chest pain, pain in other parts of the body, feeling light-headed or dizzy, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, coughing or wheezing and an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.

"A heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI) is a serious medical emergency in which the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot," the NHS warns.

"A heart attack is a medical emergency. Call 999 and ask for an ambulance if you suspect a heart attack."
