Duane 'Dog' Chapman released from hospital where he was admitted for chest pain three months after wife Beth's death
Duane 'Dog' Chapman has reportedly been discharged from a Colorado medical center after he was admitted to the institution last weekend over complaint of chest pain. The 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' star went home late on Monday evening after he underwent extensive tests at the facility. Contrary to the earlier speculations, the 66-year-old did not suffer a heart attack and his chest pains appeared to be linked to high blood pressure and stress, TMZ reported.
The report stated that an angiogram was performed on Chapman, and the results came back normal. The bounty hunter's medical emergency came nearly three months after his wife Beth Chapman's tragic death from throat cancer at the age of 51. Chapman was left devastated after the tragedy.
Chapman, while talking to Page Six, recently admitted that he had lost 17lbs since his wife's death and his diet has not been very regular because of constant stress.
"For three days I've been eating again. But Beth always said: 'I like your little tummy, big daddy.' No you don't! I dropped two sizes in pants," he said. "I'm a little faster now because weight slows you down. I think I'm actually a little healthier now. I want to maintain this weight, maybe a little bit more, but it's helped my health. I can feel it. Feelings are really strange. I don't want to eat something until I'm really hungry because I want to feel something."
The reality television star has also had trouble with his sleep over the past few months. He told the outlet: "I haven't gotten past the place where I'm putting a pillow where she was and covering it up. And then I wake up in the middle of the night and I see her and it doesn't register that [it] ain't her. I'm still there. I wake up to always touch her, especially when she was sick I'd have to wake up a few times when she stopped breathing. I couldn't hear it no more. And she's laying and I'm like, 'You are not dying like that. I will not let you die.' So I'm so used to that that I don't sleep solid anymore."
Beth, who had been battling with throat cancer for the past two years, passed away on June 26, 2019.
