WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page revealed he is recovering from a successful procedure after experiencing an episode of atrial fibrillation.

Page shared the news on his social media accounts, explaining that the health scare occurred last week.

Page, 69, noted that the incident happened during a workout when he had forgotten to wear his heart monitor. This is the second time in three years that he has dealt with the condition, which causes an irregular heartbeat.

He underwent cardioversion, which is a procedure to reset an irregular heartbeat.

In a post that includes a video of himself stretching in a hospital bed, Page wrote:

Minutes after waking up from a successful cardioversion, I’m back stretching. My wife, Payge McMahon is like… ‘can you just rest for 24-hours?’

Last week, I went into AFib. I normally wear a heart monitor when training, but for some reason didn’t this day. I pushed myself too hard, felt ‘off’, dizzy, and heart racing… and well, here we are…

This is my 2nd time with AFib (irregular heartbeats) in the past 3 years. I’ll have a cardio ablation next month and should be good to go.

Following his in-ring career, Page found significant success as a fitness entrepreneur with his DDP Yoga program. The system blends yoga postures with dynamic resistance and calisthenics.

A three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Page was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.

Page stated that he is scheduled to undergo a cardio ablation procedure next month, which is intended as a long-term solution to heart arrhythmia.
