The discomfort, initially underestimated, intensified with continuous vomiting e stomach cramps so strong they make her lose consciousness. Persistent nausea led Valeria to physical exhaustion and a state of profound confusion. It was her partner, Luca, who rushed her to the emergency room, a trip of which she herself admits to having confused memories, remembering only “a very sweet nurse who made me blow into a balloon”. This first visit to the emergency room marked the beginning of a series of critical hours, in which fear and pain took over.
The night of fear and the provisional diagnosis
Despite initial treatment, Valeria’s situation has not improved. The vomiting didn’t stop, forcing her to make a second and dramatic visit to the emergency room on the same night. “Unfortunately the vomiting didn’t stop until this night, where I really thought I was dying… I had nothing left in my stomach. So I had to go back”, she said with sincerity, highlighting the seriousness of her condition and the fear of not making it.
The following hours were of great apprehension, but finally the first sigh of relief arrived. After a series of tests, doctors were able to exclude the most serious hypotheses. “The tests came out good… so they ruled out the worst. It could be one gastroenteritis“, explained Valeria, adding that she will still have to undergo further tests in the next few days. This moment of clarity allowed her and her loved ones to take a breath, although the road to recovery was still open.
Valeria expressed her opinion deep gratitude towards the healthcare staff of Fatebenefratelli, thanking them for their “care, patience and smiles” in such a difficult moment. A gesture that underlines the importance of human and professional support during medical emergencies, and which has contributed to making hours of great tension less burdensome.
A touching appeal: the importance of not neglecting health
Having overcome her biggest scare, Valeria Angione chose to transform her personal experience into a significant message for her vast community. He used his social channels not only to tell the facts, but to launch a heartfelt appeal on the importance of not putting off medical checks and listening to the signals that the body sends. A topic that is particularly dear to her, as she herself admitted.
“These stories are for those who have been putting off check-ups all their lives. Like me, who ‘yes I have to see a gastroenterologist’ since 2000”, she confessed, showing a vulnerability that brought her even closer to her fans. His experience became a warning: “Then the body books you the emergency room on its own.” A bitter but clear reflection on how we often tend to postpone self-care, finding excuses such as lack of time.
“‘I don’t have time’ is the most used excuse. Even with ourselves. We always put it off. For work, for something else, for everyone. And almost never for us”, underlined Valeria, inviting everyone to reconsider their priorities. His story is not just the chronicle of an illness, but a powerful invitation to take care of your health with awareness and responsibility. A message that, born from a terrible experience, turns into a precious lesson for everyone.
