Travis Barker Rushed To Hospital... For Pancreatitis?!
By Kristin Myers on June 29, 2022 at 1:40 PM EDT
On Wednesday, fans learned why Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday.
As TMZ first reported, his wife Kourtney Kardashian, 43, rushed the Blink-182 drummer, 46, to the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center on Tuesday morning. Things apparently took a turn for a worse, as he was then transported to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles by ambulance!
Photos showed the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star trailing along behind the ambulance as his security detail followed in black cars. His condition is still unknown, but by Wednesday afternoon, sources told TMZ just why Travis Barker is in the hospital.
Travis Barker Was Hospitalized With Pancreatitis… But Will He Be Okay?
Sources told TMZ that Travis’ pancreas became inflamed due to a recent colonoscopy procedure. It’s not clear when he had the procedure, as the two tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at a castle in Italy just over a month ago.
Symptoms of pancreatitis include nausea, intense stomach pain, and vomiting, and, according to the Mayo Clinic, may start suddenly and last for days, or it can even occur over many years, so it’s a good thing “The Kardashians” star took him to the hospital!
Unfortunately, his current condition is unknown, but fans are hoping that he’ll be able to make a full recovery now that doctors have given him a diagnosis.
