Below Deck star Fraser Olender, 33, suffered a heart attack caused by vape poisoning and is urging fans to quit vaping.Summary
Reality TV star Fraser Olender revealed he experienced a heart attack due to "vape poisoning," specifically an E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). He shared his harrowing experience on Instagram, detailing severe chest pains and breathing difficulties that led to a week-long hospital stay. Doctors determined a coronary artery vasospasm, triggered by something in his vape, caused an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) – a heart attack not due to blockage, but oxygen deprivation. Olender emphasized the excruciating pain, which even strong pain relief barely touched, and his gratitude for recovering. He now advocates for quitting vaping, stating he could have died for a “ridiculously stupid” reason and urging others to prioritize their health. Olender is known for his role on the Bravo show *Below Deck*, where he became the first male Chief Steward.
