Reality TV star suffers horror heart attack after 'vape poisoning'
Summary
Reality TV star Fraser Olender, known from the show Below Deck, experienced a heart attack and lung injury after vaping, leading to a week-long hospital stay in London. He described experiencing 'inexplicable pain' and difficulty breathing, ultimately diagnosed as vape poisoning (EVALI) and a coronary artery vasospasm that caused a STEMI heart attack. Olender emphasized that the heart attack wasn't caused by a blockage, but by a lack of oxygen to the heart during the spasm. He is now recovering and shared his ordeal on Instagram, urging others to quit vaping, stating he could have died for a 'ridiculously stupid' habit. He highlighted the ineffectiveness of even strong pain medication during the initial 24 hours of his ordeal and vowed never to vape again.
