The journalist suffered a stroke after a coughing fit.

Jennie Gow, a radio presenter living in England, struggled with severe coughs for a long time. Gow's condition worsened significantly two years ago.

SHE SUFFERED A STROKE AFTER COUGHING

One morning, while waking up to go to work, the journalist was hit by another coughing fit. When she entered the bathroom, the woman coughed continuously for 45 minutes and suddenly lost consciousness. After her family noticed, Gow was taken to the hospital, where it was determined that the right side of her face had suffered a stroke.

"I HAD COVID-19 TESTS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES"

Gow, who described that she was coughing severely during that time, said, "My coughs were so severe that I had COVID-19 tests done multiple times. All of them came back negative. One morning, I woke up from my sleep due to sharp coughs. When I went to wash my face in the bathroom, it intensified. At that moment, I felt so bad that the only thing I could think of was to hold onto the bathroom sink because I felt like I was going to faint. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and collapsed. When my husband heard me fall and rushed to my side, I had lost consciousness." she stated.

"I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO USE MY BRAIN LIKE BEFORE"

The journalist, who was being treated in the hospital, had difficulty speaking and was writing what she wanted to say on a board. Emphasizing the importance of being able to recognize stroke symptoms in advance, Gow said, "Because early diagnosis greatly helps the treatment to progress positively. I stayed in the hospital for days, and I thought I would never be able to speak again and use my brain like before." she said.
