What on earth happened to Josh Spiegel this past weekend?
The newsman talks more about an incident that left him unconscious on his bathroom floor with his head through the drywall.
It started with intense stomach cramps and profuse sweating. When Spiegel stood up, he suddenly fainted. When he came to, he was lying on the floor—and had apparently hit his head hard enough to put a hole in the wall.
Spiegel learned that the episode was likely related to a reaction involving the vagus nerve, which can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate and lead to fainting. The crew also discusses how seemingly minor symptoms can sometimes accompany serious medical problems—and why ignoring them isn't always the best idea.
