American YouTuber and streamer, iShowSpeed, has shared concerning videos of himself in hospital suffering from a cluster headache.
In the videos posted to his YouTube channel, the 18-year-old is visibly in pain with one swollen eye and one eye closed.
He posted a video yesterday in the back of an ambulance being rushed to hospital, and then another today in hospital.
Speaking to the camera, he said: ‘Right now I’m having one of the worst experiences, I can’t even open up my eyes.
‘I have this thing called a cluster headache, the most deadly headache disease. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything right now.
‘It hurts so bad guys, I can’t do anything, like anything, it just hurts. Everything I do is like something pounding my head every time and I’m so angry. It just hurts like even now it just hurts.’
The internet personality, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., is best known for his livestreams in which he primarily plays video games including Roblox, Fortnite, and FIFA – he’s also recognisable by his love for football legend Ronaldo.
He has almost 19 million subscribers on YouTube.
The video he posted yesterday in an ambulance racked up over three million views and today’s update is already at 5.5k.
He said: ‘My eye’s puffing up. It feels like a stab, it feels like somebody is stabbing my eye with a knife, boom, boom, boom, boom.
‘I wanted to give y’all boys an update cause I don’t know what’s happening to me, you know what I’m saying.
‘I want y’all boys to always right there with me until I die. I don’t know man, when I get back home I’m gonna probably chill from travelling for a bit because there’s a lot going on.’
In the video he posted today, giving an update to his fans, he said:
‘I really just wanna go home and stream for y’all. Go home, play Fortnite, play Fifa 24, I just wanna go home to stream but I don’t know how long I’m going to be here.
‘They can keep me here for months, weeks, days or years if they want to. I just did an MRI.’
