Cameron Menzies has lost five stone after hand surgery and a medical fright threatened to upend his darts career.
The Scot, 37, needed an operation for an injury sustained repeatedly punching a drinks table on stage following his first-round exit at the PDC World Championships last December.
And he made headlines during the summer after requiring medical attention during his World Matchplay encounter with Ross Smith, which he had to forfeit.
His dizzy turn was put down to high blood pressure caused by dehydration.
"I didn't know what it was, I looked at the board and I just felt like everything was spinning," Menzies told BBC Scotland.
"They took me off the stage, there were paramedics and first aid on site and they were taking my blood pressure and it was up to over 200, and they were going to phone an ambulance because that was like heart attack material.
"But as soon as they gave me a drink of water it dropped massively. They wouldn't let me leave the venue until they were quite happy with it and then when I came back up to Glasgow the next day I went to the Royal Infirmary and got bloods taken and stuff – it was just high blood pressure dehydration.
