‘I could have died’: Below Deck star reveals ‘vape poisoning’ caused terrifying heart attack
Summary
Below Deck star Fraser Olender, 32, recently experienced a heart attack caused by vape poisoning, an experience he described as terrifying. He was hospitalized after suffering intense chest pains and breathing difficulties, and doctors determined he had a coronary artery vasospasm, leading to an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) – a heart attack caused by reduced blood flow due to artery constriction, not blockage. Olender emphasized the severity of the pain, stating that even strong pain medication provided limited relief. He has since quit vaping and is sharing his story to encourage others to do the same, warning that the risks are not fully understood and could be fatal. He urges people to quit 'cold turkey' and avoid the dangers of vaping.
