Pat Sajak, the host of “Wheel of Fortune,” recently opened up about his health crisis in an interview with Good Morning America 1.
In November 2019, Sajak underwent emergency surgery after experiencing a “horrific pain” in his stomach. He was diagnosed with a blocked intestine, and his blood pressure had fallen dramatically. Sajak explained that if doctors didn’t operate right away, he could have died. After the successful surgery, he has been recovering well and is back to hosting the show 1.
In the interview, Sajak shared that he felt like he was dying and worried about his family. “In the background, I could hear my wife and daughter talking. It sounded like they were a mile off, but they were right next to me,” he said. “They were talking to each other. And I remember thinking, not in a morbid way, ‘I think this must be death’” 1. Despite the medical scare, the Wheel of Fortune star said his surgery was successful and he can go back to living his normal life — which includes getting back into the studio 1.
Sajak’s story is a reminder of how quickly life can change and how important it is to prioritize our health. If you or someone you know is experiencing any health issues, it’s essential to seek medical attention right away. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
