Robin Padilla rushed to a hospital

Published Jun 2, 2022 02:22 pm

Robin Padilla experienced a health scare recently.

The actor-turned-senator shared the whole story via Facebook, Thursday.

According to Robin, he was strolling with his wife Mariel and their kids in a park in Spain on Tuesday when he suddenly felt dizzy.

He related, “Napakahirap intindihin ng nangyari sa akin. Wala akong kahit anong sakit pero bigla na lang nawalan ng lakas ang tuhod ko habang naglalakad sa parke dahilan para kagyat ako umupo sa ilalim ng puno...”

“Nagdilim ang paningin ko at bumagsak ako sa puno sa likod ko. Hilong-hilo ako.

“May Espanyol ako na naririnig ko sa paligid ko. Kinakausap ako, parang nais niya ako alalayan. Ilang sandali ay lumiwanag ang paningin ko, nanumbalik ang lakas ng tuhod ko..."

“Dahan-dahan ako tumayo. Inalalayan ako ng Espanyol. Hindi ko siya naiintindihan kaya sabi ko lang, salamat Señor..."

At the time, Mariel was with their child Isabela enjoying one of the rides there.

A few moments later, Robin felt weak again.

“Nahihirapan na ako huminga. Bumibigat ang dibdib ko. Kailangan ko na pumunta sa ospital,” he shared.

“Nag-message ako sa kababata ko na sunduin ako at magdala ng taxi. Nag-message din ako kay Sir Ambassador Lhuillier (Philippe Jones Lhuillier, the country's ambassador to Spain) tulungan ako na makapunta sa ospital. Nararamdaman ko na naman na nawawalan ng lakas ang tuhod ko. Parang babagsak na naman ako..."

Robin was rushed to a nearby clinic. “Pinaupo niya ako kinunan ng blood pressure, 200/150. "Nagulat ang nurse. Inulit. Gano’n ulit. Nagdesisyon siyang tumawag ng ambulance.“

It was then that Mariel arrived, staying by side all throughout the ordeal.

“Pinainom ako ng pampababa ng blood pressure pero walang ipinagbago. Dumating ang ambulansiya, sinaksakan ako ng dextrose/ECG. Unti-unting umepekto ang gamot, naging 140/104 (blood pressure).

“Napanatag ang lahat, dahilan para alisin na ang mga aparato ng ambulansiya. Babayaran sana ni Mariel pero libre pala ang emergency service (doon),” Robin went on.

“May mga test ang ginawa sa akin. Blood test, X-ray, urine, lahat ay normal. Binigyan lang ako ng gamot sa high blood good for 5 days,” Robin said.

He is still flummoxed as to what led to the whole incident.

Robin surmised it might have been simply related to ageing or stress.

As of this writing, he is already out of danger and resting.
