Sean Hayes Reveals Heart Health Scare

Sean Hayes, known for his role on Will & Grace, revealed during a recent episode of the SmartLess podcast that he drove himself to the emergency room twice in one night due to heart issues related to his atrial fibrillation (AFib). His co-hosts recounted that after initially being treated with paddles at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Hayes returned home but soon felt unwell again and drove back for a second treatment. Hayes humorously described his familiarity with the ER, likening himself to Norm from Cheers due to his frequent visits. AFib is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm, which can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure, as noted by medical sources. Despite the health scare, Hayes joked that he and his husband went out for dinner later that night. His candid discussion highlights the ongoing challenges of managing a chronic heart condition.
