He said he experienced worrying symptoms such as feeling "clammy", "tightness in my chest", and "pins and needles in my left arm".
Now, the Clarkson's Farm star has opened up on a new health concern.
'I have a trapped nerve in my back at the moment,' Jeremy has revealed.
Talking about cars in his Sunday Times column, the telly star continued: 'It's fine but I'm doing anything, but in the G 580 (a Mercedes motor), not doing anything is impossible because it pitches and rolls all the time, and you never have any idea what it's going to do next.
'So you can't ever brave yourself. Getting out of this and back into Lisa's Range Rover was like getting out of an economy seat on a new airline called Air Turbulent and into a bed at the world's most peaceful hotel.'
Last month, Jeremy opened up to The Sun about his ailing health which is shown on the new series of Clarkson's Farm.
'You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. I get in a proper old panic.
'I didn't know at the time. I knew I wasn't being me. Because if you don't sleep, it very quickly has an effect,' he said.
Revealing how he was under immense pressure amid his health issues, Jeremy said: 'I was trying to get the pub open for the August Bank Holiday weekend, and at the same time doing the harvest on the farm.

'And it's very well documented I ended up in hospital with a heart problem, when you see how stressful it was trying to do those two things - there's simply no sleep.
'I was coming back knackered from a day trying to get the pub open, and having to get straight into the tractor to do grain carting through the night.
'You can't make the harvest wait, if it's dry, ready and fit, as they say in farming I've discovered, if the wheat and barley fit you've got to get out there. God it was knackering."
Jeremy also revealed how things going wrong and last-minute "disasters" also took its toll, with the former Top Gear star now admitting he was 'silly' to attempt to do as much as he did across the two days.
Jezza continued: "The amount of things that went wrong in the two days in the opening weekend.
"I know everyone's going to say you made that up, it can't possibly be that disastrous. But it was.
"It was one thing after another after another, it was incredibly stressful.
'That was idiotic to try and do what I tried to do over those weekends.'
Jereemy revealed in his Sunday Times column an ambulance rushed him to Oxford 's John Radcliffe Hospital where tests ruled out a heart attack.
However, further examinations revealed one artery was fully blocked and another was nearly blocked, putting him at serious risk.

A stent was inserted into the blocked artery to keep it open and restore blood flow to the heart.
He wrote: "It wasn't especially painful. Just odd," and said he thought at the time, "Crikey, that was close."

Brits set to endure sleepless night amid heatwave
Warm temperatures could lead to the UK experiencing its first 'tropical night' of the year. A tropical night is where overnight temperatures do not drop below 20C; this could happen on Friday. Scientists indicate that the chance of UK temperatures exceeding 40C has increased significantly, and is now 20 times more likely than in the 1960s due to climate change. Amber heat-health alerts are in effect for all of England until 9am on Monday, with people asked to take precautions out in the warm weather. The health alerts suggest potential significant impacts on health and social care services, including a possible rise in deaths among vulnerable groups and increased demand for health services.
