Earlier this month Terry had a health scare in which he temporarily began slurring his words while out to dinner with Heather and Nick. After initially refusing to seek medical treatment, Heather eventually convinced him to go to the hospital.
Doctors subsequently discovered that a blood clot had passed through a hole in his heart (known as a patent foramen ovale or PFO) and traveled to his brain, causing a transient ischemic attack (or TIA), which causes stroke-like symptoms.
“Had I gone home, gone to sleep, continued to have little teeny blood clots come from my lower extremities from all the recent flying we’d been doing, I would have had many more clots,” Terry exclusively told E! News following the medical incident before giving credit to his other half. “If she wasn’t insistent and persistent and I got on a plane or I went home that night—dead. Heather Dubrow saved my life, no question about it.”
