'Dr. Pimple Popper’s' Sandra Lee reveals stroke during filming

Sandra Lee recalled a frightening on-set medical emergency while shooting her show.

In an interview, the dermatologist revealed she suffered a stroke last November while actively shooting the show, Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out, forcing production to pause for nearly two months.

Speaking to People magazine, she stated, “It happened while I was filming,” she said. “I thought I was having a hot flash. I got super sweaty and didn’t feel like myself.”

She continued, “I just felt very restless. In one leg, I kept feeling shooting pains,” she said. “I noticed that I was having a tough time walking down the stairs.”

Moreover, she told that by the following day, the warning signs became more severe, noting, “I would hold my hand out, and it would just slowly collapse. I noticed that I had a tough time articulating and just enunciating. I thought, ‘Am I having a stroke?’”

She was taken to the emergency room, where doctors confirmed an ischemic stroke via MRI.

“It was just a shock,” she added. “As a physician, I couldn’t deny that I had slurred speech, that I was having weakness on one side, but I was like, ‘Well, this is a dream, right?’ What essentially happened is I had a part of my brain that died.”

After undergoing therapy, Lee has since returned to work and says she is “pretty much back to normal,” while continuing treatment and monitoring her health.

Notably, the season two of the series will premieres on April 20.
