It was then that the star realized a sinus infection, for which she had been prescribed medications, turned into a "potentially deadly" infection.
Recalling how she started feeling amnesia-like-symptoms, the RHOC alum shared,
"There seems to be about an hour or two that I was missing and I don't know where I was. I got to the office. Olivia is [her boyfriend] Michael's daughter who works with me. I had a client coming in and she said I was talking gibberish and I wrote an email out and the email didn't make sense."
What happened to RHOC alum Vicki Gunvalson? Details explored
Vicki, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum, was quite emotional when she appeared on the August 26 episode of her podcast, My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast. She and her boyfriend, Michael Smith, shed light on how things happened earlier this month, and she had a health scare.
Vicki and her family went on a family vacation and visited Europe earlier this month. Before that, she was diagnosed with a sinus infection, for which she got antibiotics from her prescription. However, she wasn’t feeling so well after they returned home from their trip.
After what she referred to as "stroke" like symptoms, they rushed to the hospital twice. Soon, they learned that her sinus infection had turned “potentially deadly.” She also shared how her body survived a “deadly” sepsis and that she was going to be okay.
The symptoms started when she had a salon appointment last Thursday. She felt she missed an "hour or two" as she couldn’t remember where she was. Later, when she returned to her office, where her boyfriend Michael’s daughter, Olivia, also works, she noticed Vicki was "talking gibberish." Additionally, she also sent out an email that didn’t make any sense.
One of Vicki’s clients, who was a retired ER physician, seeing Vicki’s condition, thought that she might be having a stroke. So then Olivia rushed her to the hospital and called Michael, who was out of town that day. Later, RHOC alum revealed that she was "misdiagnosed" and was treated for "a sinus infection" and sent home.
