Dealing with a bad headache is annoying at baseline. But it can also send you into a spiral of health anxiety, wondering what could be causing your pain and when you should be concerned about a headache. After all, most people have heard that head pain can be a sign of something more serious, and that was recently underscored by two celebrities sharing their own scary experiences.
Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot recently opened up on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon about being diagnosed with blood clots in her brain while pregnant with her fourth child, something that she shared on Instagram in December. The 39-year-old said that she was eight months pregnant when she experienced an excruciating headache that lasted for three weeks. Doctors originally chalked her symptoms up to changing pregnancy hormones, but Gadot says her mom pushed for an MRI.
