Chevy Chase's Heart Health Journey: What Went Wrong and How He Came Back

Chevy Chase, the well-known comedian, had a rough time with his health in 2021. He ended up in the hospital for five weeks because of heart problems. But what many people don't know is that he was in a coma for about eight days after his heart failed. His daughter, Caley Chase, shared in a new documentary that her dad basically \"came back from the dead. \" He had heart failure, which is a serious condition. Chase's wife, Jayni, explained that he was drinking a lot before this happened. This led to cardiomyopathy, a disease that weakens the heart muscles.A close friend, Peter Aaron, revealed that doctors had to put Chase in a coma to help him. This was tough on his body, and the doctors weren't sure if he would make it. When he woke up, he could only talk. It took a while for him to feel like himself again. He played cards and chess to help his brain recover. Chase admitted that his memory isn't what it used to be. He doesn't remember a lot of things from his past, like some arguments he had on the sets of \"Saturday Night Live\" and \"Community. \" He also talked about feeling left out when he wasn't invited to the \"SNL\" 50th anniversary special. He thought it was a mistake and that he should have been there. Heart failure is a serious issue, but Chase is doing better now. He knows it affects his memory, so he has to be reminded of things sometimes. He's just happy to be back with his family.
