Model Hailey Bieber has broken her silence on reports she was hospitalised last month for a stroke
The 25-year-old took to YouTube to reveal the finer details in a 12-minute video to really give us an insight into exactly what happened.
With the stroke, Bieber says she felt a really weird sensation that travelled down her arm one morning at Breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber.
Bieber says the facial drooping probably lasted for 30 seconds and doctors were asking her “do you know where you are? Do you know your name?”
She says she knew the answers to the questions but she says “It was like her tongue and her mouth could not form the sentences and the responses.”
As she was waiting for the ambulance to come, speech started to come back.
So by the time she got to the emergency room, Bieber says was pretty much “back to normal” and scored a 0 on the stroke checklist.
However, she’s only 25 years old so doctors had major concerns for her health.
She has a blood clot that doctors called a “ministroke”.
In fact this incident led to Hailey undergoing a procedure to close a hole in her heart, which she is recovering well from now, in an ordeal the model says was the most scariest moment of her life.
According to the CDC, every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke and is a leading cause of death for Americans.
A low percentage of people experience them under 65 so of course alarming for the model to experience such symptoms.
Doctors concluded that three things contributed to the blood clot including birth control, covid and long haul flights.
As for what happened after, she’s gone through plenty of testing
Hailey says she felt “relieved” that doctors were able to figure everything out with her and that she will be able to “move on” from a very scary situation.
She is now on a blood thinner medication, which has made her anxiety worse but shes happy she’s feeling much better.
