Why is IShowSpeed hospitalised again? Latest update on streamer's health situation

Earlier today (July 31), YouTube streamer "IShowSpeed" was hospitalized for the second time this week. He and his cameraman (@slipperrz) confirmed that he was taken to the doctor for monitoring. Since then, there has been some positive news in the last hour. Slipz revealed that the doctors conducted an MRI, and fortunately, no further surgery will be required.

For those out of the loop, last week (July 29), IShowSpeed, who is in Japan, disclosed that he was experiencing cluster headaches. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with a severe sinus infection, which led to the swelling of his right eye.

Thankfully, the streamer is in no immediate danger. In fact, Slipz shared a video showing the streamer in a playful mood, where he can be seen singing along to a tune. The streamer himself shared an update on his YouTube channel:

"Love you, boys, just pray that I don't die."

"Could progress to meningitis if not treated right" - Slipz gives an update regarding IShowSpeed's latest appointment

The streaming community, especially IShowSpeed's fans, were deeply concerned when he was diagnosed with a confirmed sinus infection. He had to visit the hospital on July 30 and then returned again today for further checkups. However, the update that he does not need to undergo surgery has come as a huge relief to everyone.

Slipz, IShowSpeed's cameraman, has confirmed that although the streamer may not be in immediate danger, it is crucial for him to undergo the right treatment. If he doesn't receive proper care, there is a risk that his current condition may worsen. He stated:

"Sinusitis only right now. Docs have said it could progress to meningitis if not treated right which is why they’ve advised he stays in hospital for now."

For those unfamiliar, meningitis is a serious medical condition that involves the inflammation of the meninges, which are the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Symptoms of meningitis often include severe headaches, fever, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, nausea, vomiting, confusion, and in severe cases, seizures, and coma. It can affect people of all ages, but infants, young children, teenagers, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk.

Since his cameraman has been the primary source of updates, any new progress regarding IShowSpeed's health will likely come from him or the streamer himself.
