YouTube sensation Darren “IShowSpeed” garnered significant media attention when he candidly discussed his health issues. The content creator revealed experiencing intense and “deadly” headaches, which he attributed to a condition known as cluster headaches. Delving into the matter, IShowSpeed provided further details about his condition.

“I have one of the worst experiences I am having right now. I can’t even open up my eyes. I have this thing called a cluster headache. A deadly headache disease. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything right now It hurts so bad, chat. It hurts so bad. I can’t do anything. It hurts. Everything I do, like, something pounding my head every time and I’m so angry.”

The YouTuber and avid Cristiano Ronaldo fan was rushed to the hospital on July 30, 2023, after his right eye swelled. Slipper, his video editor and cameraman, later confirmed that Darren had a severe sinus infection. He reported:

“Docs saying most likely a severe sinus infection based on what they see from the CT scan. Eye doctor says his eye should be fine (no damage like blindness). Now a sinus doctor is coming to check him out to confirm. He’s getting (an) IV now for antibiotics and nutrients.”

Later that day, Slipper shared positive news about the 18-year-old personality, stating that he had been discharged from the hospital. He tweeted:

“Leaving the hospital, Speed didn’t die, thankful for amazing healthcare in Tokyo!”
