During an interview with Good Morning America, the 75-year-old actress discussed the therapy. “I was getting a type of shortness of breath,” she said. I thought, ‘This is ɪɴsᴀɴᴇ,’
“These are the exact symptoms I had three years ago, but they can’t be the same.’ When I lay down, though, I began to experience a strong coming-and-going pain in my jaw.”
Susan went to the emergency room on her doctor’s suggestion. She was evaluated and found to have an 80% blockage in one of her arteries. To clear the blockage, she needed another stent implanted.
Dr. Richard Shlofmitz, chairman of cardiology at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York, spoke with GMA about Susan’s situation, adding, “She wasn’t experiencing a heart ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ this time, and she wasn’t unstable. But she was exhibiting signs that made me think something was amiss.”
