La La Anthony was rushed to the hospital in June to undergo an emergency proceder and in a recent interview with Self magazine, she opened up about her experience.

“There were a lot of scary moments,” Anthony told Self, revealing she spent four days in the hospital.

The reality star had been diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions- an abnormal heart condition that causes extra heartbeats.

She was diagnosed while she was filming BH90210 in Vancouver in 2019, but she insisted on returning to New York before undergoing any procedure.

She was given medication to control her problem after an echocardiogram showed that her heart was beating “30,000 extra beats more than the average person.” Unfortunately, the medication made her feel “so tired and out of it” that she stopped taking it and tried to manage her stress better.

Her conditioned worsened on June 1, when she couldn’t stand up without holding onto something and became lightheaded and sweaty.

Despite feeling unwell, Anthony still didn’t think to call for help. It wasn’t until her 14-year-old son told her to get help that she decided to do so.

“Kiyan was like, ‘Mom, please let them call because you don’t look like yourself,” said Anthony.

After getting the help she needed, Anthony underwent a procedure called a cardiac ablation which requires creating small scars in the heart, using extremely hot or cold temperatures to block abnormal electrical signals.

“Had it not happened [as an emergency]. I probably would have still just been continuing to put it off, put it off, put it off,” she said

Anthony’s heart began to beat normally after the procedure, but she still faced hardships after deciding to file for divorce from her NBA husband less than a month after her procedure.

“When you make a choice to put yourself first and a choice to be happy and really mean that,” she said, “then a lot of that stuff doesn’t even really faze you or matter anymore.”

Since her procedure, Anthony goes in for checkups every two months.

“I battled with that for a while,” she said. “Most people Instagram themselves in a hospital bed or show the IV or whatever. And I never did any of that. But the more I thought about it and actually talked to my son, he was just like, ‘Mom, like, it can actually help people out there to become aware of listening to their bodies.’ I can turn it into something that can actually help people out there and also make people understand, I’m human. I go through s***…it’s life.”
