"Rosie O'Donnell's Near-Death Experience: Ignoring a Major Symptom Led to Massive Heart Attack"

Rosie O'Donnell reveals that she almost died from a massive heart attack, known as a "widowmaker," after ignoring the symptoms. She initially brushed off the pain in her arm, but her son noticed she looked pale and urged her to seek medical attention. O'Donnell eventually went to the doctor and discovered she had a 100% blockage in her artery. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing that heart attack symptoms can differ between men and women and urges women to be aware of the signs, such as chest pressure, pain in various areas, shortness of breath, and nausea.
