Media person and presenter Cristal Snow says she was hospitalized on Monday on her Instagram account.
“My voice isn’t hoarse because I’ve docked all over Easter, but because I was scouted because I was about to choke this morning,” Cristal begins his Instagram account in the stories section.
The presenter says his food was stuck in his throat, so he tried to flush the blockage down by drinking plenty of water. However, drinking water only made the situation worse.
– I was about to drown in that water, the air didn’t come from anywhere, he says.
Eventually the waters erupted, but the food left in the throat still remained in place. Cristal soon realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to order a taxi to Meilahti Hospital. At the hospital, Cristal’s condition was taken seriously and he ended up undergoing a scout.
The presenter describes the whole experience as scary.
– I was completely panicked. It felt like I wasn’t getting oxygen and I was given a pretty rough look, Cristal says.
Diagnosis
Cristal tells Iltalehti that he has suffered from similar swallowing problems in the past and had a few scenes of the same type. On previous occasions, the presenter was diagnosed with reflux disease and was sent home from the hospital to rest.
– I myself have said that there is something that reflux does not become such a violent thing, Cristal says.
This time, there was a specialist on duty who decided to investigate the matter further and put the presenter for further examination. Studies have found a stenosis between Cristal’s esophagus and stomach that has caused the seizures and problems.
Cristal will then undergo further investigations, the results of which will give him treatment for the problem.
Cristal Snow will host the Onnenpyörä VIP program with Niko Saarinen on Fox. He is also involved in the latest season of the Farmi Finland program.
