“After Surgery, They Pass Away and Die”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Recalled a Near-Death Experience in 2020 That Made Him Relish Being Alive

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest action heroes in the world. He has worked in more than 50 movies and has given some biggest action movies of all time. The 75-years-old continues to entertain the audience with his latest projects. However, in 2018, the terminator got a serious blow to his health. He got diagnosed with an issue with his heart.

The year brought some real trouble to the actor. Before starting the shoot of “The Terminator 6: Dark Fate”, he went to have the physical test and received some critical comments from his doctor. What happened to the ‘Austrian Oak’ back then?

The biggest obstacle Arnold Schwarzenegger ever faced

In 2020, Arnold Schwarzenegger confessed to the biggest obstacle he had to face in 2018. It was the first time he openly revealed it while he was addressing the graduates of the Class of 2020 via Snapchat. While going through a tough time during the global pandemic, Schwarzenegger told the graduates about facing the obstacles in their lives.

Moreover, he said, the pandemic is not the biggest obstacle they will face in life. He said, “Let me tell you a brief story about the biggest obstacle that I faced just two years ago.” He added, “The doctor says ‘You’re in great health, but I would recommend that you go and replace your heart valve. It’s leaking blood’.”

Furthermore, he recalled, “You’re not out of the woods yet. There’s a lot of danger, there’s still patients in our heart unit here that, after surgery, they pass away and die, not because of the heart surgery, but because of the lungs. They get pneumonia. So we are really worried about you getting pneumonia.”

It wasn’t the first time Schwarzenegger underwent a heart surgery

The 2018 surgery was really scary, as it included more post-surgery risks. However, it was not the first time Schwarzenegger’s heart had been operated on. He got his first heart surgery in 1997, where he replaced his defective congenital aortic heart valve for the first time. 

Moreover, it was also not the last heart operation he had. He once again had to operate his aortic valve by re-replacing the valve in October 2020. However, the actor has suffered multiple heart problems but has never withdrawn his energy from putting his everything into his projects.
