Below Deck's Fraser Olender Details His Heart Attack From Vaping
Summary
Below Deck star Fraser Olender, 33, recently experienced a heart attack stemming from vaping. After experiencing severe chest pains and breathing difficulties, he was hospitalized and diagnosed with “vape poisoning,” or E-cigarette/Vaping-Associated Lung Injury. Doctors determined that a coronary artery vasospasm, caused by chemicals in his vape, reduced blood flow to his heart, resulting in a STEMI heart attack. Olender shared his experience on Instagram, emphasizing the intense fear and pain he endured, and warning others about the dangers of vaping. He has since quit vaping and encourages others to do the same, hoping his story will prevent others from experiencing a similar health scare. Fellow cast members expressed support and well wishes.
