Gretchen Fullido was rushed to the hospital after the TV Patrol news broadcast last night due to chest pain.
Kapamilya entertainment reporter Gretchen Fullido was rushed to the emergency room after her stint in ‘TV Patrol’ last night.
She shared through an Instagram post what happened to her after last night’s broadcast of the news program.
According to Gretchen, she was having her dinner after the news broadcast when she felt a sharp piercing pain that was resonating to her back.
She said that was the first she felt that kind of pain in her chest area. Aside from the pain, the showbiz reporter also said that she felt nauseous and she can barely breathe.
“I felt my hands & feet becoming weak. I will be honest, I REALLY GOT SCARED but I kept on PRAYING & PRAYING,” Gretchen Fullido shared.
Being in that situation, she said: “I even asked God, “Lord… how could it be my heart when I know I regularly exercise & I know I’m in good shape?”

Because of that, she went immediately to ER to check her health condition. The attending doctor did a lot of test to her including ECG, blood tests, and urinalysis.
The results of the test were all negative and all her vital signs are normal. The doctor also dismissed her worry that there could be something wrong in her heart.
“The doctor said, it is most likely GERD or Gastroesophageal reflux disease which is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the ring of muscle between the esophagus & stomach. Many people suffer from heartburn or acid indigestion caused by GERD,” she explained.

The reporter guessed that it could be because of her huge appetite in spicy and sweet foods.
Another factor that Gretchen mentioned was the stress but with her fast-paced job in broadcasting, this could not be avoided totally.
She then suggested what to do in order to manage stress.
“So it’s best that we learn how to MANAGE OUR STRESS. We need to avoid being in a TOXIC environment & avoid NEGATRONS! Hahaha! JK,” she quipped.
Gretchen Fullido also expressed how grateful she is for the health reminder she got.
