What are PACs? McJuggerNuggets diagnosed with heart condition
American YouTuber McJuggerNuggets, also known as RiDGiD STUDiOS, recently shared a concerning health update on his social media account. He disclosed that he was diagnosed with PACs, which stands for Premature Atrial Contractions.
It is a type of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) where the heart's upper chambers (atria) contract earlier than they should. Normally, the heart's upper chambers should contract in a specific order, but with PACs, they sometimes contract too early due to an extra electrical signal, disrupting the heart's rhythm.
Interestingly, the YouTuber mentioned that even though the doctors were puzzled about why he would black out, given his overall good health, he believed that the cause might be linked to COVID:
"It was quite obvious. the elephant in the room…f**king covid. the blackouts started with covid. My heart palpitations began after covid in 2022."
The YouTuber stressed that his health issue should remind everyone not to underestimate COVID. Despite the pandemic ending a couple of years ago, he highlighted the lasting effects it can have, urging people to take it seriously:
"It will take a lot more disease, disability and premature death for this s**t to finally be taken more seriously."
