Below Deck star's heart attack at 33 due to vaping
Summary
Below Deck star Fraser Olender, 33, recently revealed he experienced a heart attack due to “vape poisoning,” specifically an E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). He shared his terrifying ordeal on Instagram, detailing severe chest pains and breathing difficulties that led to a week-long hospital stay in London. Doctors determined that his vape caused a coronary artery vasospasm, reducing blood flow to his heart and resulting in an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) – a heart attack. Olender emphasized the excruciating pain he endured, stating that even strong pain relief offered limited improvement. He now urges others to quit vaping, stating, “I could have died for the sake of something so ridiculously stupid.” He has vowed to never vape again and hopes his experience will encourage others to prioritize their health.
