Two Blood Clots & An Enlarged Ventricle Force Nick Cannon to Quit Job

Earlier this year, actor and TV Host Nick Cannon was hospitalized for mild kidney failure but was released a few days later. And it looks like that visit was only the beginning of a long line of hospital visits. Cannon revealed on his radio show 92.3 Now FM yesterday that he was back at the hospital last week with two blood clots and an enlarged right ventricle. Yikes!
Cannon, 31, said,
“It was quite serious. I was trying to downplay it a lot, even in my own mind. I travel a lot. Anyone who flies a lot can be a victim to getting blood clots because it can start in your legs or your lower back. That, on top of my previous condition made me more prone to it.”
So what did the doctor recommend? More rest. Cannon added that,
“My doctor was saying that my work is going to kill me — and he’s not joking. I think part of the reason why my health did kind of deteriorate was because I wasn’t resting a lot and I was doing too much. I was overworking myself, working out too much. I always took pride in working so hard and never taking a day off. But i’m learning that it isn’t the wisest thing all the time, especially being a new father. Not only wanting to spend more time with my children, but wanting to be there for my children.”
Because of this, Nick released a statement, quitting his radio gig. He wrote:
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with CBS RADIO and the 92.3 NOW morning show team and I would like to thank them for their unwavering support. I will continue to host my syndicated “CANNON’s Countdown” weekend show and look forward to contributing to 92.3 NOW whenever possible. Even SUPERMAN has to sleep.”
