Luchasaurus, a popular figure in the wrestling world, was recently hospitalized due to a severe case of bilateral pneumonia. His condition was critical, with his blood oxygen levels plummeting to less than 80%. Medical professionals alerted his team that the wrestler was precariously close to enduring permanent damage to his lungs.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Luchasaurus has now been released from the hospital. However, his condition remains serious necessitating oxygen assistance, since normal day-to-day activities easily exhaust him.
Further restrictions include a halt to his training regime as he is rated at high risk for relapse. He has also been advised not to travel for at least a month or two, and to consult a specialist at the earliest opportunity.
There are mounting concerns for Luchasaurus, stemming from a potential compromised immune system due to pre-existing health conditions such as sleep apnea.
In a grim update, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that, “He is not back in the gym and he will not be back in the gym for a while and he’s not going to be back wrestling, probably, for a while. And it’s hopefully, he will be back wrestling in a while. Apparently, there were complications. He ends up getting this flu and bad oxygen uptake as a result of whatever else, turned into pneumonia. And apparently he’s at high risk for a relapse, is what I was told. The big concern is that after all of this, they’ve been running test after test, and apparently there may be permanent damage. They found calcification in a heart valve and his body is not producing iron and so he’s got a whole bunch of tests that he apparently has to take. It’s bad. It’s bad enough that he’s out of the hospital, apparently, but he still has to do oxygen.”
eWn, along with the greater wrestling community, extends its wishes for Luchasaurus’ expeditious and robust recovery.
