Emilia Clarke’s brain aneurysm
Emilia Clarke battle scenes filmed for Game of Thrones, But in 2019, she published a test in The New Yorker Entitled “A battle for my life”.
Having a bad headache at the gymnasium, “I reached the toilet, I sank on my knees and I violently, voluminously ill,” wrote the actress. “Meanwhile, the pain – purge, stabbing, the binding pain – worsened. At a certain level, I knew what was going on: my brain was damaged.”
She was taken to the hospital for a brain scanner.
“The diagnosis was rapid and worrying: an under-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a potentially fatal stroke of stroke, caused by bleeding in space surrounding the brain,” added the Emmys candidate. “I had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture.”
Emilia has undergone immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, calling “unbearable” pain. While she recovered, she continued, she knew aphasia and “mumbled the nonsense”.
A week later, “aphasia has passed,” added Emilia, and she left the hospital a month after being admitted.
During a brain scanner in 2013, she learned of “dubbed size” growth and that she again needed surgery.
“When they woke me up, I was crying in pain,” she wrote. “The procedure had failed. I had massive bleeding and the doctors clearly indicated that my chances of surviving were precarious if they no longer worked. This time, they needed to access my old -fashioned brain – through my skull.”
Fortunately, Emilia shared, she is now “a hundred percent”.
