Los Angeles Chargers head coach addressed his health concerns during a news conference on Monday after experiencing an irregular heartbeat during Sunday's game against Denver. He revealed that he has been dealing with atrial flutter for many years and is taking steps to manage it, including wearing a heart monitor and taking a blood thinner.
Harbaugh mentioned that he had ablation procedures in the past to treat irregular heart rhythms and may undergo another one in the future. He acknowledged feeling the symptoms before the game in Denver and sought medical attention during the match, where his heart returned to a normal rhythm after treatment.
Despite the health scare, Harbaugh returned to the sideline and watched the game tape on the plane back to Los Angeles. He praised his team's performance, noting that the first three quarters were the best they had played all season.
During his absence from the news conference, the Chargers had offensive and defensive coordinators lined up to take his place. Harbaugh's brother, John Harbaugh, expressed confidence in Jim's determination to return to coaching despite the health issue.
The Chargers' victory over the Broncos was overshadowed by Harbaugh's health incident, but the coach's resilience and commitment to his team were evident throughout the game.
