Rosie O’Donnell says she’s lucky to be alive after suffering a heart attack last week.
The comedienne says she felt achy, sore and nauseous, but put her discomfort down to helping a “heavy woman” out of a car and ignored her symptoms for an entire day.
“I googled women’s heart attack symptoms,” she wrote on her blog. “I had many of them, but really? I thought, naaa.”
Rosie eventually saw her doctor the following day, and discovered one of her main arteries was 99% blocked.
“They call this type of heart attack the widow maker,” she says. “I am lucky to be here.”
