Jeremy Clarkson shares new health concern after terrifying heart health scare
The Clarkson's Farm star has revealed he's now suffering from a new ailment, months after having surgery to place two stents in his heart
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed a new health concern just months after his emergency heart surgery.
The 64-year-old, underwent heart surgery last year, following an incident while he was holidaying in the Indian Ocean. Not long after he returned home to the UK 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 so he underwent emergency surgery to fit two stents. Clarkson later admitted in his column: 'It wasn't especially painful. Just odd,' adding: 'Crikey, that was close.
The star experienced immense stress during filming of season four of Clarkson's Farm, where he tackled various challenges of opening The Farmer's Dog pub, navigating constant hurdles and red tape. However, Jeremy's health scare stemmed from an incident while he was holidaying in the Indian Ocean.
Having initially planned a graceful dive, he realised, mid-aid, that he would land awkwardly. He explained that he ended up performing a "belly flop" which then put a strain on his body as he tried to swim back to shore. Going into detail, he told the Sunday Times: 'When I finally reached the beach my lungs were full of water and I realised I can't do it anymore.'
He was left fearing he would fall over, as he recalled: "There's just no sense that my knees can handle the pressure." He went on to recall awakening the next day feeling "clammy" and with a pain in his chest - but he ignored the symptom.
After noticing pins and needles in his left arm, he decided to finally seek help and an ambulance was called. He was then rushed to hospital where he received emergency treatment.
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,' he revealed in his Sunday Times column. Describing his ordeal while reviewing the Mercedes G 580 electric SUV, Jezza joked that sitting still in the 4x4 was near impossible: 'It's fine but I'm doing anything, but in the G 580, 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."
He went on: 'So you can't ever brace 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.

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. I don't want folk going veggie due to farming crisis, rages Jeremy Clarkson - so my pub will serve pig uterus & squirrel '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.
