She explains that she visited her doctor’s office where they ran a couple of tests to see what was affecting her health. “It was discovered that I have a genetic condition in my blood which I could live with without any complications, but if I don’t take care of myself, it could lead to several health problems in the near future,” she explained during a taping of the show.

This genetic condition could lead to strokes, heart attacks or pulmonary thrombosis, which are all very serious health problems. Right now she’s taking medication, which makes her dizzy, gives her headaches, nausea, stomach pain, tiredness and possibly even make her gain weight.
This is why it’s very important to visit your doctor regularly. If you feel tired all the time, are losing or gaining any weight unexpectedly, or just feel sick, you need to visit your doctor. Early detection like in her case could lead to early treatment and monitor a disease, which can prevent more serious altercations in the future.
