KJ Hamler heart issue: What condition does KJ Hamler have?

American football player KJ Hamler stated on July 31, 2023, that he has been diagnosed with pericarditis.

He will take a break from football to heal the minor heart irritation, and Hamler was later waived by the Denver Broncos with a non-football illness designation.

Hamler is anticipated to be cleared for football activities in the coming weeks, and the procedural move will allow him to return this season. The Broncos are keeping the door open for Hamler to return.

“After feeling some chest pains while working out on the break before camp starter, I got everything checked out and was diagnosed with mild heart irritation, called pericarditis,” Hamler wrote on Instagram.

“I’ve got a great treatment plan with medicine and am taking a quick break to get this all taken care of so I can get back to doing what I love. I will be back on the field — better and stronger than ever — as soon as possible this season!

“It’s tough to deal with this when I was ready for a breakout year, but adversity is nothing new to me. I have been through hell and back, but it’s hard to reach paradise if you don’t go through hell first. I’ll get past this just like everything else on this journey. I will continue to elevate. I forever stand on business. “This is not a farewell. This is not a good-bye. This is a see you soon as I take a break for my health.”
