Just the day before she tweeted that she had “been very sick for the past couple of days.” She followed up with an explanation on November 19, countering rumours of a heart attack and thanking her fans for their concern on her website.
“First and foremost, I so dearly love and appreciate each and every one of you for your concern and your prayers,” Leakes wrote. “Late last week I wasn’t feeling well and was feeling a little short of breath. 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 travelling around the country that I do for my job.”
Leakes said she was thankful to be alive, especially since her doctor informed her that most people don’t recognize the symptoms of blood clots.
“I’m blessed to be home with my wonderful husband and family,” she concluded.
