Dan Bilzerian reveals he had two heart attacks after massive four-day sesh

The ridiculously rich bloke had a worrying brush with death a few years back

It's common knowledge that Dan Bilzerian doesn't do things by halves - and that includes his booze and drug fuelled benders too.

The poker player and businessman loves to party hard, especially when a gaggle of stunning women, super yachts and a dash of debauchery are involved.

But there are obviously downsides to leading a playboy lifestyle like Bilzerian, which you might not pick up on while scrolling through his seemingly glamorous Instagram posts.

It's no secret that drink and drugs aren't good for your health - but the 43-year-old found out the hard way just exactly how dangerous they can be.

He revealed that his excessive use of cocaine and Viagra on top of a few too many cocktails almost killed him.

Bilzerian explained he was on a ski trip with some of his 'fraternity brothers' when they bumped into a woman who offered to take the party back to her place.

After a wild night, the following day his pals wanted to head out snowboarding so he pulled himself together and hit the slopes but he began 'throwing up' and 'felt horrible' while on the way to the airport for his flight.

Bilzerian then arrived in Las Vegas, where the partying obviously continued. I mean, it is Sin City after all.

During an appearance on In Depth With Graham Bensinger in 2017, he revealed that his four-day sesh then caught up with him drastically and he suddenly started to feel a sharp pain in his shoulder.

The social media star, who was only 25 at the time, said that it all went downhill after he took six times the recommended dose of Viagra, a lot of cocaine, weed and booze for four days straight with about an hour's sleep.

Bilzerian said: "By the time I finally see this doctor, I can barely breathe. And he's like 'holy s**t, you're having a heart attack'. I've been in the waiting room for like 50 minutes.

"So finally, he gives me the nitroglycerin, puts me in there. I'm like, 'Oh my god, I'm going to die for sure'. And that was it - the next day I had another heart attack in the hospital and they were like ignoring it again."

He added: "I called my dad and was like, 'Hey, come down here, these stupid motherf***ers don't want to do anything', and sure enough they checked and I had a second heart attack."

If that wasn't enough to deal with, his mum, dad and former girlfriend had rushed to his bedside - and inevitably got the rundown about how he ended up there.

Bilzerian went on to claim that the doctor who was heading up his treatment was none other than Conrad Murray, who famously went on to get charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of Michael Jackson, after he administered a lethal dose of propofol to the singer.

The health scare didn't put him off from leading his lavish lifestyle though - as he admitted he was having sex, smoking pot, eating Chinese food and sipping on wine coolers while he was still in the hospital.

Bilzerian said he was put on medication for life by medics, who told him there were no problems with his heart and that the drugs were to blame for the attacks - so he threw them away after just a week.

He reckons his brush with death only proves his superhuman strength, adding that he thinks of himself as a 'bullet-proof tiger'.
