Conservative commentator and author Mark Levin announced Wednesday he is recovering after receiving a stent in his heart.
The 64-year-old host said he hasn’t been feeling well, and his condition took a turn for the worse over the weekend while attending a festival in Virginia with his family.

“I dropped them off at a spot, and I parked. When I walked from the car about 100, 120 feet … I had tremendous pressure on my chest, and I couldn’t breathe very well,” Levin explained on The Mark Levin Show. Levin said the pain got worse through the night, prompting him to go to a local hospital and seek treatment.
Levin said he received a stent, a metal or plastic tubular insert put inside an artery to assist blood flow. Levin previously had bypass surgery and stenting procedures done, according to WMAL.

“Unfortunately, it (the heart disease) is fairly aggressive … as the cardiologist told me … and it has dispersed, but the main blockage, was 90% blocked [and] has been addressed. There’s a few others, and we should be able to keep them under control,” Levin said.
“I’m not going anywhere!” he assured his listeners.
