Good Morning America anchor struggles to break out of a fearful mindset after interpreting a scary moment during a workout as a genuine health scare. The 51-year-old former TV personality opened up about what appeared to her to be a life-threatening experience during an episode of last week. Amy & TJ is a podcast she and her boyfriend 49, who is also an ex- anchor, host together.
Amy revealed on the show that she began having severe arm pain amid the run she and TJ took together before recording the episode. “We had just gone on a run and I was perfectly fine. And about 30 minutes later my arm just started burning and there was numbness and it was actually painful and it felt like a surge and I had not ever felt that before,” the mom of two explained.
“It lasted for several minutes and I had to kind of take deep breaths." The Better Together! co-author admitted that since that incident she’s been more worrisome. “Ever since then, I’ve had anxiety because my head’s gone into a spiral,” she disclosed.
Amy stated that she was nervous about her heart health because after she had surgery to address a “dangerous arrhythmia” at 38 she hadn’t had any issues with her heart, according to People. “I just started to freak out like ‘Oh no, what if I’m having a heart issue?’ And I just haven’t been able to shake the anxiety,” she remarked, joking that she has “self-imposed heart palpitations.” The couple both agreed that oftentimes when people have end.
