MEMORANDUM
Before the Court is Defendants’ motion to vacate the Court’s order granting Plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis (doc. no. 24). A decision on this motion requires the Court to determine what allegations a prisoner must make, in the denial of medical care context, to sufficiently allege that he is “under imminent danger of serious physical injury,” thereby allowing him to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), notwithstanding the fact that he already has had three prior actions dismissed as frivolous. Because the Court determines that the plaintiff in this case, Alton D. Brown, has not sufficiently alleged that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury, the Court will vacate its earlier order granting him IFP status.
I. BACKGROUND
Brown initiated this action on December 8, 2006, with a motion for leave to proceed with IFP status (doc. no. 1). The Court denied Brown’s motion, because he failed to file a certified copy of his prisoner account statement for the six-month period prior to the filing of his complaint on December 8, 2006, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (doc. no. 2). Brown applied for IFP status again, together with a prisoner account statement (doc. no. 3). On December 26, 2006, based on Brown’s account statement, the Court assessed an $8.33 initial filing fee and informed Brown that he had twenty (20) days to decide whether he wanted to proceed with this case (doc. *476 no. 5). 1 Brown timely expressed his intent to proceed (doc. no. 6) and soon thereafter, filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction (doc. no. 7). The Court then entered an order granting Brown’s motion to proceed with IFP status (doc. no. 8).
Defendants have now moved to vacate the order allowing Brown to proceed IFP. Because the Court concludes that Brown already has three strikes against him and has not adequately alleged that he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury, the Court will grant Defendants’ motion.
II. DISCUSSION
Whether Brown is entitled to IFP status is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Section 1915(g) provides:
In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action or appeal a judgment in a civil action or proceeding under this Section if the prisoner has on 3 or more occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action on appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (emphasis added). This section was enacted as part of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”), which Congress passed “largely in response to concerns about the heavy volume of frivolous prisoner litigation in the federal courts.”
Abdul-Akbar v. McKelvie,
There is no question that Brown has already run afoul of section 1915(g)’s three-strikes-and-you’re-out policy. This Court’s own research reveals numerous other cases dismissed against Brown for being frivolous, brought in bad faith, or failing to state a claim.
See, e.g., Brown v. Brierton, et al.,
No. 91-CV-471 (M.D.Fla. Oct. 17, 1991) (Black, J.) (doc. no. 6) (dismissing prisoner rights case for abuse of judicial process);
Brown v. Brierton,
No. 92-2030 (11th Cir. Feb. 10, 1992) (denying appeal of prisoner civil rights case because appeal was not taken in good faith under Rule 24(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure since the case was dismissed without prejudice for Brown’s abuse of the judicial process);
Brown v. Barton, et al.,
No. 93-CV-45 (M.D.Fla. Sep. 12, 1994) (Moore II, J.) (denying appeal of prisoner civil rights case because not taken in good faith);
Brown v. Federal
*477
Laboratories, Inc.,
No. 89-507 (M.D.Fla.1989) (dismissing claim as frivolous);
Brown v. Blaine,
Numerous courts, including the Third Circuit, have denied Brown IFP status already because they found that Brown already had three strikes against him.
E.g. Brown v. Blaine, et al.,
No. 04-4618 (3d Cir. Aug. 19, 2005)(denying Brown IFP status because he had three strikes and had not adequately alleged that he was under imminent danger of serious physical injury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(g));
Brown v. Blaine,
No. 03-2439 (3d Cir. Mar. 18, 2004) (same);
Brown v. Montgomery County,
No. 04-5729,
Undeterred by his previous failures, however, Brown has found a tactic to circumvent section 1915(g) that has succeeded at least once: exploiting the exception for allegations of imminent danger of bodily harm. For example, in
Brown v. Beard, et al.,
No. 04-1906,
Brown’s allegations of imminent bodily harm in the instant case are similar to his allegations in the prior case, which were ultimately found to be meritless. Now, however, Brown adds the new allegation that he suffers from various medical conditions, for which he is not being adequately diagnosed and treated, which could contribute to heart disease and thus ultimately his death. The Third Circuit has recognized, in a non-precedential case, that the denial of appropriate medical care may, under certain circumstances, present an “imminent danger” sufficient to create
*478
an exception to the three-strikes policy and allow a prisoner to proceed IFP.
See, e.g., Williams v. Forte,
Brown’s allegations are summarized as follows. Brown alleges that he suffered a heart attack in December 2005. Pis.’ Mot. to Reconsider at 15 (doc. no. 27). He alleges that, since then, he has been examined by medical personnel numerous times. One examination included the use of an electrocardiogram (“EKG”) to test for any irregularities in his heart beat. According to Brown, medical personnel concluded that his EKG showed no “clinical significance,” but Brown complains that “nothing in the records supports the claim that the EKG showed no clinical significance” and believes, instead, that he has an irregular heartbeat, based on his own reading of the EKG and speculation about its significance Id. at 12, 15-16A. Brown also describes the results of six recent blood cholesterol tests, which indicate that he has high cholesterol, but then complains that some of the pages of the reports of these cholesterol tests have been removed. Id. at 13. Brown also alleges that his blood sugar is being monitored “every three or so months,” but complains that he needs to have it monitored as frequently as “once a day.” Id. at 14. Brown alleges that he has high blood pressure, which runs in his family, but complains that some medical entries do not reflect this fact, while others do. Id. Finally, Brown complains that his alleged irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, high cholesterol, and the stress of incarceration could contribute to his risk of heart disease.
In other words, Brown does not dispute that he is receiving medical attention, but merely disputes the findings and quality of the treatment he is receiving. He believes that his allegations show a “vicious plan to deny [Brown] adequate medical care.”
Id.
at 12. However, Brown’s nitpicks with the care that he is receiving, combined with his allegations of a couple of pages of missing pages of medical records, do not show that Defendants are intentionally conspiring to deprive him of appropriate medical care. Indeed, they negate such a claim. Brown’s only purported evidence of the existence of a conspiracy is the example of a prior incident where he was treated for a knee injury.
See id.
at 15. However, the treatment of Brown’s knee has already been the subject of a prior lawsuit that was dismissed as meritless on summary judgment.
See Brown,
The Court’s decision is also informed by the fact that the Court has already held a hearing on the record regarding Brown’s two motions for injunctive relief in this case. Brown participated in that hearing and was provided a full opportunity to explain his claims and present evidence to the Court. The Court also reviewed the Declaration of David Diguglielmo, the Superintendent of SCI-Graterford, where Brown is currently incarcerated, as well as numerous other records regarding Brown’s alleged medical situation. Based on the evidence of record, the Court determined that Brown was not entitled to in-junctive relieve because, inter alia, he was *479 not likely to prevail on the merits on his claim for improper medical treatment (doc. no. 20). The Court noted that “Plaintiff has expressed interest in submitting to the Court additional evidence, not previously submitted, in support of his motion” and invited Plaintiff to “submit any such additional evidence through the filing a motion for reconsideration.” Brown filed such a motion, but he did not submit any additional evidence not previously considered by the Court. Rather, Brown largely rehashes allegations and legal arguments already made in his previous complaint and two motions for injunctive relief. 3
In any event, even if Brown’s allegations that Defendants were intentionally failing to monitor and treat his alleged irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, and high cholesterol had any merit, such allegations would still not satisfy the requirement that Brown allege that he is “under
imminent
danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (emphasis added). As the Third Circuit has stated ‘‘‘[imminent’ dangers are those dangers which are about to occur at any moment or are impending.”
Abdul-Akbar,
“Congress enacted the PLRA in order to limit the filing of frivolous and vexatious prisoner lawsuits.”
Abdulr-Akbar,
III. CONCLUSION
Accordingly, because Brown has three strikes against him, and has failed to allege he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury, the Court will vacate its earlier order granting him IFP status.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for an Extension of Time (doc. no. 28) is DENIED as moot.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
Notes
. A prisoner who is allowed to proceed IFP is not excused from paying filing fees, but is only excused from pre-paying them in full if they meet certain criteria. Prisoners who qualify for IFP status are required to pay by way of an initial partial fee, followed by installment payments until the entire fee is paid. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).
. Brown also alleges, in the instant suit, that he is not being provided a diet appropriate for a prisoner with Hepatitis C. These allegations have also already been debunked as meritless, in a prior suit, at the summary judgment stage.
Brown,
. Accordingly, the Court will also deny Brown’s motion for reconsideration.
See Harsco Corp. v. Zlotnicki,
. In any event, "[i]t is important to note that § 1915(g) does not block a prisoner’s access to the federal courts. It only denies the prisoner the privilege of filing before he has acquired the necessary filing fee.” Id. Brown could attempt to pursue his claim in state court. “Potentially negative consequences in federal courts, as distinguished from state courts, are precisely the consequences intended by Congress.” Id.
