Actress Gal Gadot has just shared with the world some shocking news about her health scare.
The leading celeb went candid about how she suffered from a life-threatening emergency that needed immediate intervention while she was pregnant.
Before giving birth, doctors discovered a giant blood clot in her brain. Sharing the news on Instagram, she mentioned how she was during the end of her pregnancy and that was the most devastating thing that she could ever hear.
She endured a lot of excruciating headaches but never once did it cross her mind that this could be the reason.
The star’s MRI scan showed a CVST or a rare blood clot that develops inside the brain’s outer veins. It’s a condition that makes a patient vulnerable to emergencies like a stroke that blocks blood flow towards the brain and deprives it of oxygen.
Gadot was rushed to a nearby emergency center to get the clot removed before giving birth to her fourth child, she shared.
While it’s a rare instance for her, this is one of the most common and fatal clots found in pregnant women, she explained.
Experts say that it affects one in 2500 people in the US each year. Now, Gadot is raising more awareness on the matter and wants others to be mindful of their health and never ignore signs of a blood clot.
