'Game of Thrones' actress Emilia Clarke penned an emotional essay revealing that she suffered two brain aneurysms, one in 2011 after filming the first season of HBO series, and another in 2013, following the third season of the show.
"I’d never experienced fear like that — a sense of doom closing in," Clarke wrote in an essay. "I could see my life ahead, and it wasn’t worth living."Mario Anzuoni / Reuters fileGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.
The actress, who said acting has always been her dream, was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain, and would need a"minimally invasive" surgery that did not require doctors to cut open her skull. The actress said she suffered a second brain aneurysm in 2013 while in New York for a play she was in. After going to the doctor for a brain scan, Clarke said she was told that a growth on the side of her brain that she became aware of during her first hospital stay had"doubled in size" and required surgery.
