Hailey Bieber sat down at the breakfast table to start what she imagined would be an ordinary day. She soon realized the day was going to be anything but when she stopped feeling sensations in her right fingers and pain in her arm, she said in a YouTube video posted on April 27. It wasn’t until Justin Bieber asked her if she was okay that Hailey understood that whatever was happening was bad. “I couldn’t speak. The right side of my face started drooping,” she revealed. Stroke was the first thing that crossed Hailey’s head — and Justin’s as well. At the Palm Springs hospital, tests revealed Hailey experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), sometimes referred to as a mini-stroke, Hailey explained.
After being discharged, Hailey underwent further testing that revealed she had a congenital heart condition. She then underwent a medical intervention to correct the small hole. While the heart issue contributed to the blood clot, Hailey’s doctors believe she was the victim of an unfortunate combination of factors. Hailey recently started taking a new birth control, had COVID-19, and had been flying, all of which may contribute to the formation of clots.
Hailey is doing well now, but she and Justin had a stressful month. Justin was in a panic at the thought of losing Hailey. “Justin texted everyone he knew and asked everyone to pray for her, and he never left her side,” a source told People.
