had been rushed to hospital with “stroke-like symptoms” broke back in March – she was released from hospital shortly afterwards, and made a brief statement at the time about the “small blood clot” she had suffered on her brain. She added that she was recovering well and grateful to the doctors and nurses who had taken care of her.Now, the 25 year-old model has shared the ins-and-outs of what really happened, in a candid 12-minute video posted on Instagram on Wednesday.
After being whisked to hospital by ambulance, Bieber underwent a series of tests – but by this point her symptoms had subsided. She later learned that she had suffered a small blood clot on her brain – called a TIA, or temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain – otherwise known as a mini stroke. “It was definitely the scariest moment of my life – there were so many things running through my head,” she admits.
Myriad follow-up tests found that in fact, one of the reasons she had suffered the mini stroke was because she had a grade 5 PFO, or patent foramen ovale, which is a small hole between the heart’s two chambers. “What typically happens is that the heart filters the clot to your lungs, which deal with it because they’re so big,” she explains in her video. “What happened with me is my blood clot escaped through the hole in my heart and it travelled to my brain, and that is why I suffered a TIA.
