Billy is okay

[MikeInNV]

Is anyone else friends with Billy on Facebook? He wrote that he is home from the hospital, all his tests checked out, and he did NOT have a heart attack or stroke. Don't know what sent him there, but I'm glad the news seems to be good.

He posted this picture earlier in the day.

Oh man! That looks rough. Glad to hear he's alright though.

I looked fairly similar to that when a sleep study was conducted on me 4 years ago.

Oh my goodness. That's hysterical.

Well, once you've had one event, you can't be too careful and it's good that he's not taking anything for granted. I know people who have been told that they suffered a mild heart attack or a mild stroke and they didn't even realize it.

I think something's up, though. It's not normal for somebody to sweat like that all of the time on stage, especially when they didn't before. Yeah, it can get hot up there, but unless you're jumping around like the Who in the '70s, it's not THAT hot.

Oh, so that's why he had it done, due to excessive sweating? Well, I might attribute it to age. If it requires more exertion than it did 5 years ago, you're going to sweat more. But given his history, much better to be safe than sorry. Michele

Wow, that's some picture. Looks like electroencephalogram leads. Poor dude has been through it!

Thanks for the information. I hope he gets his medical issues resolved and gets better soon.

Ex-wife. I think they split in the '90s.

I'm sorry to hear that.

People on cocaine usually have excessive sweating, but I've never read Billy was in that, and it didn't look to me he was in coke on any live video. And yes, my father suffered a mild heart attack and he didn't realize until the doctor told him.
