What happened on air with Sergio Lapegüe?

Everything happened on Monday, August 4, while Marina Calabró was presenting her usual entertainment segment. In the middle of the broadcast, she requested a video to illustrate her information.

When the video ended, Lapegüe was no longer in the studio. In his place, Mauro Szeta appeared, who took over the program without providing further details.

Faced with the audience's surprise, Calabró clarified what had happened: "The magic of television. Lape is fine, don't be alarmed. Absolutely nothing happened."

Although she tried to downplay the incident, Lapegüe did not return to the air for the rest of the program.

What diagnosis did Lapegüe receive after his episode?

Later, Marina Calabró reported that the journalist was taken by ambulance and evaluated by doctors. What seemed to be low blood pressure turned out to be a spike.

According to the columnist, the host suffered what would be an auric migraine, a type of headache that affects vision.

"Suddenly, he lost vision in one eye"

Calabró spoke with him hours later and revealed: "At one moment he was looking at me and the next he lost vision in one eye. In the other, everything looked very blurry. He got really scared."

Given the symptoms, América's medical team decided to act quickly and recommended his transfer to a clinic for tests.
