Chevy Chase, the well-known actor, recently shared his health struggles and feelings about being left out of a big celebration. In a new documentary, he talks about a serious heart problem that put him in the hospital for five weeks. His family also shares their experiences during this tough time.

Chase's heart issue was linked to a condition called cardiomyopathy, which is caused by too much drinking. This condition weakens the heart muscle, making it hard to pump blood. His wife, Jayni, said that his heart even stopped at one point. Doctors had to put him in a coma for about eight days to help him recover.

His daughter, Caley, said that the doctors warned the family to prepare for the worst. They weren't sure if Chase would survive or if he would be the same person if he did. Despite all this, Chase is now doing better and is happy to be back with his family.

In addition to his health issues, Chase also talked about his feelings regarding the 50th anniversary celebration of "Saturday Night Live. " He was upset because he wasn't included in the on-stage celebration with other original cast members. Chase felt that this was a mistake and that he should have been included.

Chase has had a long career in Hollywood, starting with "Saturday Night Live" and going on to star in popular movies like "National Lampoon's Vacation. " Despite his success, he has faced health challenges and feelings of being left out. However, he is now focusing on his health and family.
