Kaye Adams feared she was suffering a stroke
TV presenter Kaye Adams has opened up about a recent health scare.
Kaye Adams feared she was suffering a stroke during a recent exercise class.
The 62-year-old TV star has recalled feeling dizzy and losing her balance during a reformer Pilates class, prompting to her to fear that she was suffering a stroke.
Speaking on her How to be 60 podcast, Kaye shared: "Do you know what I've had recently, it's the funniest thing. I went to my Pilates last Sunday, the reformer Pilates, I call it disco Pilates, because it's all bright lights and music. I got off the reformer and my goodness the world began to spin. Like a Tom and Jerry cartoon when there's birds going. around the head.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm having a stroke'. I was really scared actually, it was horrible. I just couldn't get my balance."
Kaye subsequently researched her symptoms and found that she was likely suffering from vertigo.
The Loose Women star explained: "I've checked it out and apparently its vertigo. And now everyone I speak to has got bloody vertigo and I've had never even heard of it before then.
"You've got to do all these really weird exercises. Apparently, it's crystals in your ear that get dislodged and you can be prone to it. It's a really weird thing."
Kaye subsequently confessed to being sceptical when a friend of hers was diagnosed with vertigo in 2024.
But the TV presenter ultimately rang her friend to discuss her own health scare, because she assumed that she could relate to her experience.
Kaye - who rushed herself to the hospital in January last year, after mistakenly thinking that she had a tumour - said: "Funnily a friend of mine had told me last year that she had it and I remember at the time thinking that's a load of nonsense! And then when it happened I was like, 'Oh, I'm going to call her, because she knows how I feel.'"
