The mum was suffering from a severe case of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which causes the heart to beat abnormally fast when a sufferer stands up from a sitting or laying positions. In extreme cases, the condition causes sufferers to collapse.
The clip went viral on social media as praise was heaped upon the modest delivery driver and the quick-thinking boy who hailed his help. News agencies as far away as Australia picked up the heart-warming video as efforts were made to contact the delivery driver.
The Co. Down mum told Galway Beo: "I'm not sure [who the hero is] - all I have is a first name 'Bryan', he's not on any social media . He's super thankful for the thanks and comments, but he's not interested in being on any websites, more than he already is."
