Besides thanking everyone, Odenkirk confirmed that he had a small heart attack. But, now he is recovering and claims to soon be back. Odenkirk expressed gratitude to AMC, Sony, and Rosa Estrada, a registered nurse who appeared on Breaking Bad and served as a medical consultant on El Camino. He has also thanked the doctors who helped fix the heart blockage without surgery.
I had a small heart attack. But I'm going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.

Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I'm going to take a beat to recover but I'll be back soon.
Odenkirk who collapsed this Tuesday is now back to a conscious state and is in recovery. A few hours after the collapse, the multiple Emmy-nominated actor's representative had confirmed that the star was stable. On the star's latest health update, a fan commented, "Most of us had small heart attacks at the news. Happy to hear you're well." Others continued to send wishes.
Odenkirk's co-host on Mr. Show, David Cross, also tweeted about Odenkirk's health saying he is doing great. Odenkirk was "joking, japing, and joshing" when Cross was on phone with him. Everyone now waits for Odenkirk to be back on the set for Better Call Saul's sixth and final season. The filming has been paused and makers are yet to announce when it will resume.
