On March the 10th, American model Hailey Bieber was hospitalised after experiencing a mini-stroke.
In the lengthy video, Hailey shows her fears of the event that occurred by saying “I had a very scary incident on March 10, basically I was sitting at breakfast with my husband having a normal day, normal conversation and we were in the middle of talking and all of a sudden, I felt this really weird sensation that kind of like traveled down my arm from my shoulder all the way down to my fingertips, and it made my fingertips feel really numb and weird.”
During the video, we learn to understand that Hailey was diagnosed with Grade 5 PFO after she spoke with the doctors in a follow-up appointment. Since the traumatic event, the model has since had surgery to close the small opening between the two upper chambers of the heart, to help prevent the stroke from happening again. She continued to say “I will be able to move on from this really scary situation and just live my life.”
