Washington: Talk show host Oprah Winfrey recently opened up about a terrifying health scare that made her “cancel everything” and land in the emergency room.
The 65-year-old star has finally recovered after dealing with a “serious” case of pneumonia that left her doctor terrified, reported People.
Winfrey shared that she had to head to the hospital after returning from a trip abroad.
“I thought I had a cold, but it wasn’t a cold,” she told Ellen DeGeneres on a recent episode of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’.
“I ended up in the emergency room, and they said, ‘You have pneumonia.’ And I go home with pneumonia, and pneumonia’s nothing to play with y’all. It’s very serious,” she added.
Winfrey said that she started taking a round of antibiotics, but they “weren’t working.” She later visited a lung specialist who was shocked at the severity of her case.
