Watt reacted emotionally following his team\u2019s win on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers when he discussed the medical complications he had to battle during the week.<\/p>\n<p>Watt revealed in a tweet before the game that he had his heart shocked back into rhythm last week after being evaluated by a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just told somebody leaked some personal information about me and it\u2019s going to be reported on today,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jj-watt-reveals-he-underwent-medical-procedure-to-shock-his-heart-back-into-rhythm\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter. \u201cI went into A-Fib on Wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday and I\u2019m playing today. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following his team\u2019s 26-16 win on Sunday, Watt said before deciding that he would suit up and play, he \u201ctalked to cardiologists and electrophysiologists from all over the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was assured multiple times from multiple people that there\u2019s nothing else you could do,\u201d Watt said. \u201cI\u2019m gonna go back and play like normal. So it could happen again next day, it could happen never again in 20 years. So I was assured, multiple times, so I went back to practice Friday, practiced and here we are. Obviously it\u2019s been a very emotional week for my family, for my wife, for myself. I\u2019m very happy to get a win today. I mean, I\u2019ve learned, obviously, I\u2019ve had a lot of emotions, but I\u2019ve learned to appreciate the little things even more. And so it\u2019s nice to have a win today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watt said it was especially difficult to look at an ultrasound of his heart given that he and his wife have recently looked at an ultrasound of his unborn baby boy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a week but happy to be here\u2026 It\u2019s been tough, you know?\u201d Watt continued. \u201cIt was just weird. Just weird. I have a baby on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watt said that he was very thankful to be out there with his team for their win and that part of the reason that he was so upset that the news of his heart condition leaked was because he felt like it took away from his teammates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife was by my side the whole time. So that helps a lot,\u201d Watt added. \u201cAnd then just I didn\u2019t know what else to do. I\u2019ve been playing this game my whole life. They said I was fine. So once my heart was reset, they said, you\u2019re fine if you feel comfortable. I mean, I\u2019d probably be more uncomfortable sitting on my couch at home. This is just, this is what I know. Right or wrong, maybe that\u2019s messed up. But if I was sitting at home watching the boys play and knowing that they said I was perfectly fine to play, I would have felt weird. So I just did what I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J.
