After leaving “Survivor”, actor Philip Bukov visits Tsitiridis to give details about his condition”:
Tsitiridis: I have the man that everyone swoons over, and he just swoons! The actor who put his whole heart into “Survivor” – Philip Bukov.
Tsitiridis: It’s up to you if I continue with the heart jokes. How are you? What happened?
Philip: Thanks, I’m fine! Keep up the jokes, they don’t bother me!
Tsitiridis: How complicated is the situation to leave the form?
Philip: I already feel good! The problem there was that due to too little food, my vital functions were lowered. It turned out that there are times when my heart goes out of rhythm and for some time I have no pulse.
Tsitiridis: Is it because of not eating?
Philip: That’s right! I generally have a low heart rate because I have an athletic heart. My heart is bigger and my normal heart rate at rest is 40. A normal person’s heart rate is 70-80.
When you don’t eat, you fall into a kind of lethargy. There were 72 hours in which we had eaten absolutely nothing! This is how the heart goes out of rhythm. I have no pulse for 3-4 seconds.
