The 25-year-old model shares the doctors' findings after she was hospitalized on March 10.
She recalled the face drooping lasting about 30 seconds and having a hard time responding to the questions she was being asked. She was able to go home, where the ambulance picked her up. While she started to feel better, her anxiety made “everything worse.”
A Transient Ischemic Attack is often called a mini-stroke and “a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain,” according to theHailey shared that while she didn’t have any continuing symptoms, the scans showed that she had a lack of oxygen to her brain for a certain amount of time. She spent the night in the hospital and went to UCLA the following day for more testing.
That was “the perfect storm” for her blood clot, she said, but doctors still didn’t know why it traveled to her brain. After undergoing a transcranial doppler, an ultrasound that uses sound waves to detect the blood flow to the brain, she was diagnosed with a grade 5 PFO, “which is the highest grade that you can have. So mine was fairly large.”
To remedy the PFO, she underwent a PFO closure procedure, which is when they go through the femoral vein in the groin to close the hole. Overtime, the heart tissue will grow back over the closure device, she said.
