Rosie O’Donnell has revealed she suffered a heart attack last week.
O’Donnell posted a detailed poem titled “my heart attack” on her website. She wrote about how it’s a “miracle” to be alive and gives details about the attack she suffered last Tuesday.
The 50-year-old comedian was helping an “enormous woman” out of her car when, a few hours later, she felt a pain in her chest and both of her arms sore. She later became nauseous, hot and clammy and vomited.
After visiting a cardiologist, doctors found her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked and they have inserted a stent.
At the end of the post, O’Donnell urged women to know the symptoms and to call 911.
“save urself,” she says.
A rep for O’Donnell confirmed to Page Six she did suffer a heart attack and is now recovering at home.
