NeNe Leakes health update
After suffering a health scare that landed her in the hospital, NeNe Leakes is updating fans on her status. As previously reported NeNe was recently hospitalized and flooded with well wishes from fans. She declined to clarify what was ailing her and instead simply posted a photo of the IVs giving her fluids.
Now the the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is telling fans that while she’s currently at home resting, doctors discovered blood clots in her lungs.
“Late last week I wasn’t feeling well and was feeling a little short of breath,” wrote Leakes on her official website. “I know my body and I know when I should be concerned so I went to the hospital to get checked out. After some routine tests I was diagnosed with blood clots in my lung. I’m told this happened to me because of the constant traveling around the country that I do for my job,” she added.
She then thanked her doctors and nurses who aided her and dispelled reports that she suffered a heart attack.
“Contrary to published reports I did not have a heart attack,” said Leakes.
The post was then capped off with a picture of her granddaughter Bri’asia (above).
No word yet on whether NeNe’s health scare will be shown on an upcoming episode of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
