Doctors Told Keith Lee If He Elevated His Heart Rate He Could Die During Medical Scare

Keith Lee was in such a bad state at one point that doctors told him and Mia Yim that he could die if he elevated his heart rate.

It is well known that Keith Lee got so ill that he wasn’t sure if he would be able to continue wrestling. Early on Thursday morning, a fan would credit Gunther with accomplishing something Keith Lee couldn’t in regard to Gunther’s incredible body transformation. Mia Yim, Keith Lee’s partner, would respond to the tweet, revealing that at one point an elevated heart rate could have lead to Lee’s death.

Walter is awesome.

“What keith Lee refused to do”
When we weren’t sure if he was going to LIVE, the doctors told him if he elevated his heart rate, he could literally die. So working out, even jogging wasn’t an option. But go off about how he chooses to be fat and lazy. https://t.co/Eiqmp1su1z

As mentioned above, Keith’s medical issues have been well documented. However, he overcame those issues and is currently one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions alongside Swerve Strickland.
