Nick Cannon announced that he is quitting his radio show after he suffered another health scare. The actor revealed that he was recently hospitalized after doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs.
It’s been a rough few months for Nick Cannon. Over the holidays, the rapper-turned-television-host was hospitalized for kidney failure in Aspen, CO. Then, weeks later, the star was back under doctor’s care in Los Angeles for surgery on his ailing kidneys.
But sadly, Nick’s health woes haven’t ended there. Late last week (Feb. 10) Nick was back in the hospital for the fourth time in three months after experiencing horrible pains in his chest and right arm. Cannon was subsequently diagnosed with blood clots — a condition he’s taking very seriously.
“I was trying to downplay it a lot, even in my own mind,” Nick revealed today on a morning radio show. “I travel a lot. Anyone who flies a lot can be a victim to getting blood clots because it can start in your legs or your lower back (from sitting for an extended period of time).”
“That, on top of my previous condition made me more prone to [getting blood clots],” continued Cannon. “I couldn’t sleep because I was in so much pain. I was having a lot of pain in my back.”[via]
