It’s been three years since Regis Philbin stepped down from his show after a 60-year career in broadcasting. Regis said he misses it from time to time, but spending 28 years on television was a lot for him. Getting up every morning and doing the same opening got tiresome after a while. But he does miss it.
Dr. Oz: Regis Philbin Acid Reflux
Regis Philbin said that lately, when he lays down, he senses a little fire developing in his chest.
“When I say fire, I mean it’s painful,” Regis said.
“Not intimate kind of fire, but bad kind of fire? I’m asking for Joy,” Dr. Oz joked.
“Dr. Oz is having fun. I’m telling Dr. Oz about something that really bothers me and you’re having laughs,” Regis said.
Regis said he’s been trying to do something every night to get over the pain. He’s been taking Alka Seltzer. Dr. Oz said he should put some blocks under his headboard to raise up his bed. This will help the acid in his stomach from slipping into his esophagus.
Regis said some nights he can’t fall asleep. He seemed shocked when Dr. Oz said he never has any trouble getting into sleep. Dr. Oz said the bedroom should be reserved for just sleeping and being intimate. If Regis reserved the bedroom for these two purposes, he’d fall asleep more easily.
Dr. Oz: Regis Philbin Married 44 Years
Regis Philbin has been married to his wife Joy for 44 years. Regis said that Joy won the battle a long time ago and he just listens to her and admires her. “Thank you, Joy, for my life,” he said.
Regis Philbin also talked to Dr. Oz about his heart issues later in the show.
