Model Hailey Bieber is speaking candidly about the profound and ongoing effects of the medical emergency she experienced in March 2022. The incident, which she describes as a "crazy" mini-stroke, led to the discovery of a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small opening in her heart, which was subsequently closed with surgery.
Now, over two years later, Bieber admits her outlook has permanently shifted. The 27-year-old revealed that while she is healthy, she now lives with a heightened sense of awareness regarding her body. She described feeling "more nervous" about her health in general, a natural response to such a sudden and serious event at a young age.
The experience has instilled a deep sense of caution. Bieber emphasized that she no longer takes her well-being for granted and pays much closer attention to any signs or symptoms her body may be giving her. This vigilant approach marks a significant change from her life before the health scare.
Her decision to share this update is part of a broader message about listening to one's body and prioritizing health, regardless of age. Bieber's journey highlights the long-term emotional and psychological recovery that often follows a physical medical crisis, resonating with many who have faced similar unexpected challenges.
