Known for his bad diet and lack of exercise, Twitch streamer Asmongold says ‘bad stress problems’ caused hospital visit with chest pains, but now vows to turn his life around.

One of the stereotypes that comes with being a gamer is a bad diet and no exercise, which Twitch streamer Asmongold admits to, saying he mostly consumes fast food, fizzy drinks, steaks, and sweets.

His admission even reached professional bodybuilder The Mountain, known for his role in Game Of Thrones, who challenged Asmongold to swap diets, because it would be ‘funny’.

Recently, however, Asmongold’s diet and stressful life have caught up with him, as he details how chest pains resulted in an emergency room visit, and how he’s now going to change his lifestyle.

The 34-year-old posted a YouTube video, where he told his fans why he ended his stream early and why he hasn’t been streaming as much lately.

‘I went to the emergency room that day, because I felt uncomfortable, like a discomfort in my chest,’ he said.

He had an electrocardiogram (EKG) done, which came out fine, but his blood pressure was ‘very high’, saying it was in the 170s.

The streamer mainly blames this on ‘bad stress problems’ and having a policy of always ignoring anxiety in the past, as well as lack of exercise.

Asmongold now vows to turn things around by doing cardio workouts, dialling down the stress, and changing his diet, something fellow streamer NickMercs has offered to help him with.

‘It’s no secret this guy lives a crazy lifestyle, but it looks like he’s trying to turn it all around,’ NickMercs said, adding:

‘I’m a big advocate for a clean lifestyle and a good routine, so my message to Asmon would be this: Brother, if you ever need help, I’m one DM [direct message] away.’

According to the NHS, high blood pressure is measured at 140/90 mmHg and above, and it urges anyone surpassing 180 to see your GP right away.

Asmongold concluded that the last thing he wants is to go on medication.

‘People who go on medication die, in my opinion. I know people that are younger than me and they have five different medications. That’s terrifying, he said, adding:

‘I want to do everything I can to be able to overcome it physically myself. I think that the human body is made to last.’

Asmongold also said he’s pretty sure there’s a dead animal in his messy house (YouTube)
