TV star Molly-Mae Hague has opened up on her health after suffering 'excruciating pain' when returning from a holiday to Dubai with partner Tommy Fury.
Molly-Mae Hague said she was in 'excruciating pain' before being hospitalised.
The former Love Island star opened up on the incident, which occurred after returning from a holiday to Dubai with Tommy Fury. Molly-Mae, 25, and Tommy, 26, enjoyed a trip with their two-year-old daughter Bambi.
The influencer found herself in A&E, with fears of having a blood clot due to lack of movement during the flight. She sought medical help due to pain and swelling in her leg among other symptoms.
In the newly posted vlog, she stated: "Basically, I had my first A&E experience last night, guys. It was so so weird," reports the Mirror.
She indicated that she had "never" been to A&E before and described her recent visit as "the weirdest experience". Molly-Mae added: "Yesterday, I thought I had a blood clot and half of today I thought I had a blood clot in my leg. Obviously flying home from Dubai I was on the plane for like nearly 8 hours and I didn't move as much as I probably should have on the plane. Obviously they say on long flights you need to keep your legs moving, keep walking around. [...] I didn't drink like hardly any water."
Molly-Mae candidly opened up on her recent health scare, revealing that she had been in "mum mode" with her daughter Bambi and wasn't "really thinking". The influencer admitted she didn't focus on "taking care" of herself during a flight and said: "Got home from the flight [and] went straight to bed. So very, very, very limited movement the whole day."
The content creator explained that the following day she had a lengthy hair appointment. Molly-Mae described being seated for "about seven hours" while getting her extensions changed and her hair coloured, noting: "Again, zero movement".
She recounted the moment she realised something was wrong: "When I got up from the chair from having my hair done, I had the most excruciating pain in my leg. [...] It was in the back of my knee, so strong. It didn't feel like a dead leg, it was like a sharp stabbing pain. I had it for about four hours and nothing would shake it."
She also mentioned the pain then spread to her calf, ankle, and foot. Molly-Mae recalled calling NHS 111 and telling them her leg was "slightly swollen" and "felt hot". After consulting with a doctor, she was instructed to "go straight to A&E".
She expressed surprise at how busy A&E was on a Thursday night, expecting it to be quieter. Despite not wanting to "waste" anyone's time, Molly-Mae felt it was important to take her symptoms "seriously".
Molly-Mae revealed that she felt like a "low risk" concern compared to other patients in the queue. After waiting four hours, she was informed that she would have to wait at least another hour for a blood test and then three more hours to see a doctor about the results.
She told her viewers that she decided to leave at that point, sharing that she felt she needed to get home for Bambi and that she was telling herself that the pain "was kind of going". She remembered thinking: "I need to leave, like I can't stay here any longer."
Molly-Mae said she managed to get some sleep and then woke up on the day of filming the vlog to find her leg feeling "so much better" and that the pain "had kind of gone". She wondered if the issue had resolved itself.
However, she then mentioned that at lunch time on the day of filming the vlog she had an "awful dizzy spell" where "the room was spinning". She recalled feeling nauseous and worrying that she would faint.
"I couldn't breathe properly. I was panicking," she admitted. The reality TV star said she returned to hospital and was checked over. Molly-Mae shared: "They said that I'm completely fine. [...] There was nothing that showed them any sort of concern or anything about a blood clot."
She concluded: "I feel fine now." Molly-Mae suggested in the vlog that she wanted to share her experience as she hadn't ever thought about getting a blood clot at her age before but "things like that can just happen out of nowhere".
