Diamond Dallas Page hospitalized after AFib, cardioversion performed.
Diamond Dallas Page, the 69-year-old WWE Hall of Famer and fitness advocate, is recovering in hospital after experiencing atrial fibrillation during a recent workout and undergoing a successful cardioversion to restore his heart rhythm. In a video posted from his hospital bed, Page was seen stretching minutes after the procedure and said he planned a cardiac ablation next month to reduce the risk of future episodes.
Page described the incident in his social media post, writing, "Last week, I went into AFib. I normally wear a heart monitor when training, but for some reason didn't this day. I pushed myself too hard, felt off, dizzy, and heart racing and well, here we are." He added that this was his second AFib episode in roughly three years. In the clip, attached to monitoring equipment and intravenous lines, he joked about resuming DDP Yoga stretches while his wife, Payge McMahon, urged him to rest. "Minutes after waking up from a successful cardioversion, I'm back stretching. My wife, Payge McMahon is like can you just rest for 24 hours?" he posted. He also promised, "I will never not wear a heart monitor and/or Apple Watch when working out again."
