Dr Dre feels lucky to be alive<\/p>\n
\nThe 59-year-old rap icon suffered “three strokes” while he was in hospital recovering from his aneurysm in 2021, and Dre has now revealed that he feels fortunate that he’s survived to tell his story.<\/p>\n
\nDre recalled waking up with an abnormal feeling behind his “right ear” and his problems soon spiralled out of control.<\/p>\n
\nDuring an appearance on SiriusXM\u2019s ‘This Life of Mine with James Corden’, Dre shared: “I got up and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lay down and take a nap. My son had a female friend that was there and was like, ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital.'”<\/p>\n
\nDre eventually agreed to go to hospital, and on reflection, the rap star realises how fortunate he’s been.<\/p>\n
\nHe recalled: “Next thing you know, I\u2019m blacking out. <\/p>\n
\n“I\u2019m in and out of consciousness, and I ended up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I\u2019m hearing the doctors coming in and [saying,] ‘You don\u2019t know how lucky you are.'”<\/p>\n
\nDre was initially baffled by his health woes, as he’s become increasingly fitness-conscious over time.<\/p>\n
\nThe rapper – whose real name is Andre Young – said: “I\u2019m lifting weights, I\u2019m running, I\u2019m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.”<\/p>\n
\nHowever, Dre eventually learned that he was suffering from an “hereditary” condition.<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Still D.R.E.’ hitmaker explained: “High blood pressure in black men, that\u2019s just what it is. They call it the silent killer.”<\/p>\n
\nDre explained that his health scare “makes you appreciate being alive”.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “When you go through that situation, it\u2019s crazy especially when I was on my way home from the hospital because possibly, that couldn\u2019t have happened.<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s crazy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It\u2019s just something that could happen out of the blue.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
