Veteran broadcaster Arnold Clavio revealed that he suffered from hemorrhagic stroke, a condition in which only 1 out of 4 people could survive.
In his post, Arnold revealed that on June 11, 2024, he was already on his way home when he felt numbness in his body, but despite his condition, he still tried to drive to the hospital himself.
“Sabi ko, titigil ako sa unang ospital na makikita ko. Kaya mula Antipolo, maingat ako na nag-drive sa Sumulong highway hanggang makarating ako sa Emergency Room ng Fatima University Medical Center,” said Arnold.
“Doon inasikaso ako at after ilang test, lumitaw na ang blood pressure (BP) ko ay nasa 220/120 at ang blood sugar ko ay umabot ng 270 . Inirekomenda na isailalim ako sa CT Scan. Doon nakita na may ‘slight bleeding’ ako sa kaliwang bahagi ng aking utak. At sa oras na yon , ako ay nagkaroon na ng ‘HEMORRHAGIC STROKE’!” he added.
Due to his condition, he was rushed to the St. Lukes Hospital to be observed.
“ARAL: Feeling ok does not mean your ok … Feeling good does not mean we’re good .. Listen to your body .. Traydor ang hypertension ! Always check your BP,” said Arnold.
