Hailey Bieber, the wife of famous pop singer Justin Bieber, is currently recovering from a hospital visit caused by a blood clot that moved to her brain.
According to an expert consulted on the situation, “younger and younger people” are experiencing blood clots similar to the type Bieber had.
Bieber, who otherwise is completely healthy at 25 years of age, was eating breakfast with her famous husband last Thursday when she began to have “stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital.”
At the hospital, doctors found that she had a blood clot in her brain that led to “small lack of oxygen.”
After passing the clot naturally, she recovered within a few hours.
“It’s important to know your health and any potential risk factors you might have for strokes, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, difficulty with sugars … When we have younger people having a stroke, we will look for things that would cause their blood to have a tendency to clot — it could be hereditary and run in their families,” Dr. Shazam Hussain, the director of the Cerebrovascular Center at Cleveland Clinic told PEOPLE, who initially reported on Bieber’s hospital visit.
“It relates, generally, to people having unhealthy lifestyles, maybe not eating as well or not getting in regular exercise”
“A stroke is really a situation where every second counts,” Hussain continued. “The brain is very, very sensitive to the lack of blood flow and you lose somewhere around 2 million brain cells a minute. So it’s really important to get that medical attention right away.”
Hussain added that people of all ages should be on the look out for blood clots, citing “unhealthy lifestyles.”
“It relates, generally, to people having unhealthy lifestyles, maybe not eating as well or not getting in regular exercise, along with other factors like genetics,” said Hussain.
“So it’s important that people don’t just think of it as something that happens to older people. If you’re younger and have those symptoms, you’ve got to get to the hospital,” he said.
Many on the political right have expressed skepticism as experts insist that the increase in blood clots in young people has nothing to do with the millions of young people in America who received the controversial COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots.
Some suspect that the correlation in timing of the spike in young people experiencing blood clots and the government’s mass vaccination campaign suggests the two may be linked, as blood clots in the brain have been a reported side effect of the injections. Leading medical experts deny any link.

This comes as Moderna and Pfizer develop a second “booster” shot; a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine injection with a new, Omicron variant-specific formula that the big pharma companies are hoping will be available to the public in the fall.
