Rocker Bret Michaels is back in the hospital after suffering a “warning stroke” just weeks after his near-fatal episode with a brain hemorrhage. On his Facebook page, Michaels’ reps released the info that says he went back to the hospital after “suffering numbness on the left side of his body.” Doctors later diagnosed Michaels as having suffered a Transient Ischematic Attack (TIA), otherwise known as a warning stroke.
According to doctors, an Ultrasound Bubble test of Michaels’ heart was then done, and they found a hole in his heart described as a Patent Forum Ovale.
Michaels’ neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Zabramski said that “there is no doubt that the positive Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is devastating news to Bret and his family. The good news is that it is operable and treatable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the Transient Ischemic Attach (TIA) or warning stroke.”
