In the latest Talk Is Jericho, AEW star Chris Jericho explained how he survived pulmonary embolism last December. This is what causes him to be hospitalized in the UK.
Jericho said, “I had so-called pulmonary embolism. I think I returned on December 7, 2021. I found this when I was in London, England. I was waiting for a while to talk. I wanted to wait until some problem was resolved, understand it, go back where everything was needed, go back to normal, and make sure it was back to normal. Pulmonary embolism , Basically, your lungs, and that’s what I had, all of them are now almost gone. They’re all gone, it’s great to hear. “
“In November 2021, Fozzie toured the UK and the first show was in Liverpool. That worked. The second was in Manchester. The third was in Newcastle, I said. I believe. Manchester, after the show, I went out, drank a few drinks and returned to the bus quite late. The next day’s performance in Newcastle was a bit windy, but on stage. It’s strange because I’ve never been involved. I’ve noticed that I’m looking for breath and running out of breath to the point where it’s difficult to sing. “
“There were a few more shows in Ireland. Dublin and Belfast were insane, but the same thing made me feel a little short of breath. So I remember we were in, I think it was Birmingham. I was talking to my doctor at Tampa’s home. He said: There may be a blood clot. Maybe. When I get back to Tampa, Do some CAT scans to see where you are, but if you really start to feel short of breath, go directly to the hospital. “
“When I fast-forwarded the next night, the show took place in a place called Chester. In Chester, I felt really terrible, like I couldn’t breathe. There’s a door leading out to the outside right next to the stage. Walk behind the scenes. I said I was going. I can’t take it. But I finished the show. Then my doctor said you had to go to the hospital like you are now, and we were in Bournemouth. I remember saying after the Bournemouth show, “I can’t do another show like this. I need to understand what’s going on.”
After the test :, “The doctor said,’You have a blood clot. The blood we draw tells you that you have to go to the hospital directly.” I’m pretty scared now. I’m in London, thousands of miles away from my foreign home, so now I have to go to the hospital. “
“So I got to the hospital, and I could barely walk. Getting in the car across the lobby was a daunting task. It was scary. Like after three steps. , I was just huffing and puffing and my heart was throbbing. You know something really, really wrong here. Then walk from that car to the hospital , The same thing. Even if it was 50 feet, it could have been 1000 miles when it was 100 feet. “

“The doctor said,’You have a pulmonary embolism. That means your lungs are filled with blood clots and you are now staying in the hospital. They do an ultrasound and I I found that there is evidence of a blood clot in my throat. Now, when a blood clot enters my throat, it enters the area of the stroke. The reason these are so dangerous is when the blood clot breaks and enters the lungs. , Because serious problems can occur. Once it is free and in your mind, you can have serious problems. If it becomes free and invades your brain , May cause serious problems. So they gave me an anti-thrombus agent. “
After the doctor checked his oxygen level, he said, “My oxygen level is still down. Now they have exposed me to oxygen. So finally, the doctor is coming back and the blood clots are down. He also told me, “You can’t go home until you make sure your oxygen levels are high enough. I know that anticoagulants are acting on blood clots. But you need to make sure you can breathe properly. So let’s stay here. ”I think it was Monday. “Wait until Wednesday and come back. I know where you are.”
After doing more tests, “I was cleared and finally got home. After I got home, I had to do more tests. I was on a scale to measure everything. One of the things that is measured is visceral fat. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds your organs. He needs you to lose some visceral fat. Well, how do you lose visceral fat? Well, you lose weight. “
I was £ 241 when I got in there. In retrospect, was I too big? absolutely. Am I overweight? I guess, aerobic exercise never gets out of shape. No, I have never blown up. But after working with Kenny Omega at Tokyo Dome, I gained weight. I was experiencing the Bruiser Brody stage, but because of the current situation, I thought I could be bigger than all these Japanese. I am one of the tallest people. Everyone is a little small. The Japanese appreciate the bulky physique. So I can get a little bigger and beat the junk from them, that’s what I did. It worked so far that I have 3 Tokyo domain events. I have never lost weight. Then a pandemic happens, and you know, you don’t even notice it. So I went to a medical weight loss clinic and followed my diet. I wanted to lose 10 pounds. I lost 11 in the first week, and well, I thought I’d stick to this and see what it would be like. I currently weigh 209 pounds. “
“I wasn’t able to fight because I was taking anticoagulants. After a few weeks, it was reduced to 5 milligrams twice a day. Good. Also, athletes using anticoagulants. I did a very extensive study of. I found two guys in the NBA and a few guys in the NFL, and found that these guys could play with anticoagulants and coexist. What they do is not take anticoagulants 36 hours before the event, because it’s not about being cut open and bleeding, but about thinning your blood. It can bleed if it hits your head etc. So I was very aware of it. After talking to our team doctors AEW and DocSampson and keeping an eye on everything, I again All of these exams that I’m doing are great, so it’s a question of when I can return to the ring. “
“I also found something very interesting. When I went to a hematologist to check again what might be causing these blood clots, she came back and I got my blood first. I said that I have a factor V gene and that it basically contributes to blood clots. You can have a double-sided factor V, which means that both parents have it. , My stuff is half a gene, not a complete gene, which means you may not need to take antithrombotic drugs forever. “
