TV star, 33, suffers heart attack from vaping
Summary
Below Deck star Fraser Olender, 33, revealed he suffered a heart attack and lung injury caused by vaping. He was hospitalized with severe chest pain and breathing difficulties, leading to a week-long investigation by specialists in London. Olender was diagnosed with vape poisoning (EVALI) and a coronary artery vasospasm, which reduced blood flow to his heart and resulted in a STEMI heart attack. He emphasized that the heart attack wasn't caused by a blockage, but by a lack of oxygen during the spasm. Olender is now recovering and shared his experience on Instagram to warn others about the dangers of vaping, stating he will never vape again and urging others to quit, describing the pain as inexplicable even with strong pain medication. He hopes his story will prevent others from experiencing a similar ordeal.
