“I did what every person my age should do with any sign of sudden symptoms that could be cardiac related. I’m sharing hoping others take care,” he wrote. “Update: seems the incident was not heart related. Possibly food poisoning with sudden onset of virulent symptoms. Great care here in LV ... I’ve had such a nice response from so many kind friends and Twitter followers. It is so comforting and I’m deeply appreciative.”
