The stand-up comedian added,"Still [my doctor] would tell me, 'Look, just because your high cholesterol doesn't necessarily mean you're in danger, but we'd like it lower. You know everything else checks out.'"
Romano said that was the situation for"15,16" years ... until doctors discovered the blockage, and he had the stent put in. "Now ... I'm on the meds, and my cholesterol dropped right way," he shared, admitting,"If I could go back 20 years ago, I would have gotten on the meds, you know?"However, while the medication is helping his cholesterol, Romano said he's now pre-diabetic.
"Here's the kicker," he told Maron."So, I'm on the meds, and it's got me all down, you know. So, I figure, 'Oh now, I can enjoy and go eat the food.' My sugar level's up now! ... I'm on the pre-diabetic side."earlier this month, the Emmy winner recalled suffering from chest pains during filming for his upcoming movie,"Somewhere in Queens."
"I called my agent at one in the morning because I couldn't sleep, I go, 'I can't do it, can't do this,'" Romano said."Because -- I'm not joking -- I had to go to my cardiologist in New York and get on the treadmill and do a stress test because I was getting chest pains."
