Ricardo Casares is currently hospitalized, in intensive care, because he suffered a heart attack minutes before beginning the broadcast of Venga la Alegría on February 26. The presenter shared with his colleagues that he had symptoms that worried him, but days before he noticed discomfort that he assumed was due to other illnesses.

As the hosts of Venga la Alegría have shared, Ricardo presented symptoms of the heart attack long before it happened, but he thought they were due to some problem in his stomach.

Luz Elena González mentioned that two weeks ago a cardiologist visited the program and talked regarding the symptoms of a heart attack, to which Ricardo mentioned that he felt everything the doctor had described, such as pain in very specific parts of the body.

“A cardiologist came and explained the symptoms that a person who might have a heart attack might have; When we left the interview, he told us that he had all those symptoms, that leg pain, stomach pain,” the presenter recalled.

By then, Casares already had previous studies on his cholesterol levels and everything seemed to be fine, so he assumed that he was possibly experiencing suggestion. It should be remembered that Ricardo suffers from illness anxiety, also known as hypochondria.

“His analysis was perfect, there was no issue of high cholesterol. Two weeks ago he talked regarding it here, but suddenly he told me: ‘I’m getting suggested, it may not be true,’” said Luz Elena.

Patricio Borgetti and Sergio Sepúlveda shared that minutes before Venga la Alegría began, Ricardo mentioned that he felt severe pain in his chest and abdomen.

Sepúlveda thought it might be because his partner had been taking medication for days because he contracted Covid-19, which might be causing him discomfort due to how injured his stomach and esophagus may have been, but Casares emphasized that it was something different.

“In ignorance and assumption I told him: ‘It won’t be something from the esophagus or something from the stomach,’ because he was undergoing treatment a week ago taking a lot of pills, but he told us that he had significant pain,” mentioned the presenter. in VLA.

Pato, for his part, remembered that Ricardo told him that he felt strange discomfort in his chest and hand, which is why he thought he might be suffering from a heart attack.

Realizing his partner’s concern, he asked him if he wanted an ambulance, to which Casares affirmed. In the end, they took him to the hospital in the production company’s vehicle, thanks to this they were able to treat him in time.

Linet Puete in Ventaneando commented that the reason why at first everyone doubted whether Ricardo Casares was really suffering from something serious – even he himself thought he was suffering from suggestion – was that they know that he is a hypochondriac.

Hypochondria is a disorder that people suffer from because of illnesses they have already experienced or because their concern regarding their health has increased to the point that they think the sensations are symptoms of something serious.

What happens with these patients is that what may be discomfort due to the same anxiety that causes them to think regarding their illnesses, leads them to greater anguish in which only a doctor can tell them if they truly have an illness or if it is a concern.
