Bachelorette Star Hannah Brown’s Unexpected PSVT Diagnosis Unveiled
Oh, terrific—another reality star with a medical cliffhanger. In a recent Instagram Story post, Bachelorette alum Hannah Brown reluctantly confessed she’s been living with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), a shock arrhythmia that turns her heart into a runaway train. Before you roll your eyes, yes, this counts as “unexpected” in Tinseltown. According to People, Brown—who last graced our screens in 2019—revealed she first experienced chest palpitations during a spin class in July, chalking it up to stress and a too-strong mocha latte. When her heart “would suddenly spike to 180 beats per minute,” she finally threw in the towel and saw a cardiologist. An E! News source confirms she underwent an ECG and a Holter monitor test, which pinpointed the PSVT episodes. “I kept thinking it was anxiety,” Brown admitted on her Story, sounding half-annoyed at having been misdiagnosed. Honestly, I told you so—jumping to conclusions is practically a celebrity hobby.
Detractors might smirk at another Hollywood panic, but PSVT isn’t just a dramatic plot twist. It can cause dizziness, fainting spells and all the unwanted attention of an ER waiting room. Brown’s doc prescribed a beta-blocker and urged lifestyle tweaks—read: more water, less caffeine, fewer late-night dance-offs on TikTok. She also teased scheduling a minor catheter ablation procedure to nip the rogue electrical signals at the source. Reliable insiders tell the New York Post that Brown’s already penciled in the June date, much to her chagrin. Remember when we used to think reality TV stars only caught shade for bad hookups? Now it’s heart episodes. I don’t *want* to sympathize, but here we are.
Brown’s candor draws praise for destigmatizing heart health among young women—just what we needed, right? Still, the timing couldn’t be more dramatic; she’s gearing up for a live podcast tour and teased new singles with her DJ beau. If her ticker’s acting up, dare we attend her next meet-and-greet? Hey, at least she didn’t faint onstage—yet. All this over a condition she barely understood until the ECG machine said otherwise. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
