Ray Romano Illness: What is Ray Romano suffering from?

American solo comedian, Ray Romano has said that he suffered for years from high cholesterol but did not take his medication seriously.

He shared that doctors discovered a 90% blockage in his main artery, and had to undergo heart surgery.

“I had high cholesterol 20 years ago and my guy always told me, ‘Why don’t we start going on the statin.’  And every time I would say let me do it myself. I would go home and eat a little healthier, get it down a couple of ticks. It was 280 and now it’s 2022. He’d go, ‘You gotta get it down even more,” he said.

Romano also shared that he is currently pre-diabetic.

“I’m on the meds, and it’s got me all down now, so I figured, ‘Oh, now I can enjoy and eat some food. My sugar level’s up now,” he said.

“Saying 50 was weird, but saying 60  sounds foreign, it sounds fake. In my head I don’t feel that old. In my body, I’m getting a couple of notices that I am that old,” he added.
