DWTS star describes health concern from Illinois hospital bed: ‘I’m just spinning everywhere.’
Val Chmerkovskiy was on tour with “Dancing With the Stars Live” in the Midwest when he was admitted to a Peoria hospital for vertigo.
Val Chmerkovskiy, a “Dancing with the Stars” pro, was hospitalized in Peoria this week while on a DWTS tour, according to a social media video in which the star is shown lying in a hospital bed with the phrase “small hiccup.”
“I ended up out here in Peoria,” Chmerkovskiy stated in the video, which was posted from a hospital bedside on Sunday. He had appeared on stage with the group the day before at the Peoria Civic Center. “I’ve been experiencing vertigo for the previous few days. I had it yesterday and managed to get through the show.”
“I’m just spinning everywhere,” Chmerkovskiy explained. “On the bus as it’s moving. I just woke up and couldn’t get myself together.”
The Cleveland Clinic defines vertigo as a “sensation that the environment around you is spinning in circles.”
“It can make you feel dizzy and off-balance,” a clinic website article stated.
According to health specialists, vertigo is most commonly caused by an inner ear problem.
Chmerkovskiy expressed his feelings, adding, “Once that kind of crystal in your equilibrium goes out, it’s really hard to get back in.”
In a comment on Chmerkovskiy’s tweet, DWTS Live said, “We hope you feel better soon.”
At the end of the video, Chmerkovskiy said “he hopes to be back Tuesday” and released another picture from the hospital bed with the caption “blood work done, vitals checked, see you soon.”
