Hailey Bieber recently reflected on suffering a mini-stroke last year .

On Friday, the model posted on her Instagram story a video she created in April 2022 where she discussed having experienced a transient ischemic attack , often called a mini-stroke, the previous month. The incident led to her diagnosis of patent foramen ovale, which is when a hole in the heart didnt close the way it should after birth, as the Mayo Clinic describes it.

Cant believe its been 1 year since I suffered a mini stroke that led to my PFO diagnosis, Bieber wrote in a text overlay on her post Friday. Given that its the 1 year mark from such a life changing event, I wanted to share all the information Ive learned about PFO and share resources to donate.

In the 2022 video describing her health condition , Bieber said that doctors told her she had a small blood clot that traveled into her heart, then through the hole in her heart, and eventually to her brain.

Bieber said she underwent a procedure to address the PFO, and that it went very smoothly.

In January, Bieber said the health scare had since caused her a lot of anxiety.

I struggled with a little bit of PTSD of just, like, the fear of maybe it was gonna happen again, she said during an appearance on the Run-Through with Vogue podcast.
