Drew Carey Recalls Jogging Through His First Heart Attack
6 Mar
Summary
- Drew Carey jogged despite experiencing heart attack symptoms.
- He dined on chili spaghetti after his first cardiac event.
- Sam Simon was called to his side fearing the worst.
Drew Carey recently shared a startling account of experiencing a heart attack while actively filming his eponymous ABC sitcom. He revealed that during a jogging session, his heart rate escalated alarmingly, accompanied by symptoms like shoulder numbness. Despite these signs, Carey initially dismissed the severity, believing a heart attack would manifest more dramatically.
Instead of seeking immediate medical attention, Carey reportedly went to dinner with his girlfriend, consuming a meal that included chili spaghetti. The following day, he returned to work and experienced chest tightness again. This prompted him to finally call for an ambulance and summon his friend, the late Sam Simon, as he feared the outcome.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Carey received treatment for the heart attack, which involved the insertion of a stent to ensure an artery remained open. He humorously noted having the same procedure as Dick Cheney, a remark that amused the former Vice President.
