Married At First Sight Australia’s Tony Mojanovski has opened up about his recent heart attack, the crucial signs he missed and the split decision that saved his life.

The former TV groom, 53, who was paired with Morena Farina in the experiment, was admitted to hospital three weeks ago, suffering a heart attack after working out at the gym.

Speaking to Nine, the business owner revealed that he wasn’t feeling a hundred percent on the day, saying that he experienced a ‘scratchy’ chest pain that he had been dealing with for a few years.

But a gut instinct told him to take it seriously.

Tony’s decision to ‘listen’ to his body and leave the gym to see a doctor ‘saved his life’, for what he was experiencing was a heart attack.

‘The little symptoms I was feeling in the two years caught up to me,’ he revealed.

The doctor, recognising Tony’s symptoms, proceeded to send him straight to Wollongong Hospital, where he collapsed shortly after arriving.

‘I was pretty much on death’s door because I had a 100 per cent blockage, and then I had a blood clot in there as well,’ he told Nine.

Tony underwent emergency surgery later that day, with doctors performing a coronary artery bypass graft to treat the blockage and save his life.

Now, following the frightening experience, Tony urges all men to listen to their body when something is up and to not ignore the signs.

‘I tell all my friends and a lot of men my age – “don’t hide”‘ he said, adding that if you’re feeling unsure about your symptoms, just go to the doctor and get checked out.

In April, the former MAFS contestant spoke to Daily Mail Australia from his hospital bed, assuring fans that he was now in a stable condition and feeling much better after the terrifying ordeal.

‘Luckily I went straight to the doctors,’ he explained. ‘During the week I wasn’t feeling well. It has been happening for a long time – I was just feeling not right, like something was on my chest every now and then, giving me heartburn and stuff like that.’

Tony said the persistent symptoms eventually became too much to ignore.

‘I tell all my friends and a lot of men my age –  “don’t hide.” If you feel something, go to the doctors and check yourself out,’ he said

‘I felt a bit off too. That’s why I thought, you know what, I’m going to take it easy this week because it was just too much,’ he said.

Reflecting on the health scare, Tony admitted it was ‘pretty scary’ and revealed there could be a family link to heart issues.

‘My mum passed away from an aneurysm,’ he said, adding that smoking, stress and partying may have contributed to his health decline.

‘I was smoking, the cigarettes, the stress, being on the boat, partying – just too many things. It caught up with me, mate,’ he admitted.

Tony said he now plans to slow down and prioritise his health moving forward.

‘I just need some time without the partying,’ he added.
