Asmongold, the 34-year-old Twitch sensation known for his gaming prowess and robust health, recently revealed that even internet legends aren't invincible.
After a lifetime of never getting sick, he's now battling an unexpected foe: high blood pressure. The Twitch streamer, who's more comfortable battling dragons in World of Warcraft than dealing with real-life health issues, is on a quest to regain his health.
A Sudden Reality Check
In a recent stream, Asmongold admitted that his typical diet of sugary sodas and marathon gaming sessions might be catching up to him. While he's not ready to give up his beloved fizzy drinks, he has reluctantly accepted that it might be time to swap the occasional soda for H2O - at least until he can tame the stress that seems to be driving his blood pressure through the roof.To combat his newfound health issues, Asmongold is considering radical lifestyle changes. He's even hinted at the possibility of cutting back on his streaming hours.
The Medicine Dispute
Despite his willingness to change his lifestyle, there's one thing Asmongold is dead set against: medication. He stated, "I don't want to take medicine. I think that's the first step... People who take medicine die - that is how I see it."He's genuinely terrified of the idea of becoming addicted to pills, especially after seeing friends younger than him taking multiple medications every day. His fear of medicine is so intense that he's pinning all his hopes on the body's natural healing abilities, confident that his immune system, forged in the chaotic environment of his bachelor pad, will keep him strong for decades to come.
Though Asmongold tries to downplay his concerns, it's clear that his high blood pressure is affecting him more than he lets on. He's taken to checking his blood pressure regularly, which has likely led to more than a few nerve-wracking moments. During one stream, his father even called to check on him, prompting Asmongold to shrug off the concern with his usual bravado.But it's not just high blood pressure that's on his radar. Asmongold also mentioned another problem - his sunken chest, a condition that may require surgery in the future. But he quickly brushed off the topic, noting that he doesn't want to invite too much parasocial behavior from his fans. After all, the last thing he needs is a legion of followers diagnosing him in chat.
