Deadliest Catch's Sig Hansen explains his latest health scare
-
Hansen would only tell his crew on the Season 15 premiere that he suffered a “slight heart attack." "Honesty what happened was, I was on an antibiotic, and I had an allergic reaction to it," Hansen tells EW. "My wife and I were driving and I started to swell up, my throat, hands, everything. I was choking out on the interstate. She called 911, I kept driving 100 miles an hour and went right to the ER. The nurse said I probably had less than 10 minutes. They gave me the EpiPen, and then my body went into a shock. I grabbed my chest and said, 'I’m in pain.' They checked my blood levels and said, 'Jesus Christ, you are having a heart attack.' The allergic reaction brought on a heart attack, so I went through that baloney again."
