Soap opera veteran Greg Vaughan, known for his roles in “Days of Our Lives” and “General Hospital,” recently had a frightening experience that landed him in the hospital. Vaughan shared pictures of himself hooked up to an oxygen machine, causing concern among his followers.

Vaughan’s hospitalization was due to a severe case of altitude sickness. He had planned to enjoy a winter getaway with his children in Breckenridge, Colorado, where he hoped to ski and snowboard. However, just one day into his vacation, he started feeling exhausted, congested, and short of breath.

Frustratingly, Vaughan’s attempts to alleviate his symptoms, such as taking NyQuil and drinking Pedialyte, were unsuccessful. Realizing the seriousness of his condition, he had to descend the mountain and seek medical help.
