Greg Vaughan Hospitalized for Severe Altitude Sickness

The soap opera star experienced a dangerous drop in oxygen levels during a family ski trip in Colorado.

'Days of Our Lives' star Greg Vaughan was hospitalized with fluid in his lungs due to severe altitude sickness after a trip to Breckenridge, Colorado.
Vaughan, known for his roles in nearly 1,000 episodes of 'Days of Our Lives' and over 600 episodes of 'General Hospital,' shared his experience on Instagram.
Despite experiencing symptoms like tiredness, congestion, and shortness of breath, Vaughan initially tried to manage with NyQuil and Pedialyte.
His condition worsened, leading to an oxygen saturation level of 54% and the diagnosis of high-altitude pulmonary edema, a potentially deadly condition.
Vaughan stayed in the Rockies against doctor's advice to let his sons enjoy their last day skiing, but used the experience to caution others about the seriousness of altitude sickness.
