“Sa America, I was diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition, nakakita ng blockage sa puso ko,” BB said.
“I was very emotional in the States. I was supposed to have angiogram there, go through the whole process. But I wasn’t sure kasi sabi ko I don’t know if I’m too young for that kasi they wanted to distend on my heart already,” she added.
BB decided to return to the Philippines to seek a second medical opinion regarding her condition. She also shared that she underwent a medical procedure as part of the evaluation last week, expressing hope that it would provide more clarity about her health.
“Of course, during that whole process, I changed my lifestyle, I changed my diet,” she said. “Also, that’s the reason why I went to Iloilo, just to have that clear air, just to really magpahinga.”
BB shared that the blockage doctors had previously discovered while she was in the United States had since diminished.
She also said she has continued to lead an active lifestyle, something she initially feared would no longer be possible after receiving her diagnosis.
“Parang hindi ko kaya ‘yung biglang hindi ka na pwede maging active,” she said.
BB, who has been based in the United States for several years, has remained active on social media, where she regularly shares updates about her personal life.
