Game Of Thrones' Emilia Clarke suffered 2 Brain Aneurysms in the set - Ultimate Guide

Daenerys Targaryen, fictional character in the Game Of Thrones series and played by the English actress Emilia Clarke, was in the need to face a battle that surely never in her life imagined having to face, a battle to save her life.

 In an essay for The New Yorker, Emilia Clarke, came to tell his story, the story of when he had to face two brain aneurisms that could end his life during his time in the series.

The first cerebral aneurysm suffered shortly after completing the filming of season 1 of the Game Of Thrones series.

"Just when all the dreams of my childhood seemed to have come true, I almost lost my mind and then my life"

"I have never told this story publicly, but now is the time."

Two months after the premiere of the first episode of Games Of Thrones. Exactly on February 11, 2011, Emilia Clarke was training with a coach when she felt "like an elastic band squeezing my brain" according to her own words.

"I tried to ignore the pain and push it, but I could not, I told my coach that I had to take a break." Somehow, almost crawling, I got to the locker room, got to the bathroom, got on my knees and got violent, voluminously In the meantime, the pain, the stinging and constrictor pain, worsened.At a certain level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged. "

After a few minutes, someone found the actress and was immediately transferred to a hospital.

The reports did not show anything good, she suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, the actress described it as "a type of life-threatening stroke, caused by a hemorrhage in the space surrounding the brain".

According to data, approximately one third of patients who suffer this type of accident do not survive.

A short time later she had to undergo surgery, which left her alive, but not well at all, she suffered from chronic headaches, later during a therapy session Emilia Clarke told a nurse that no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember his name, what Clarke had was a case of aphasia.

"Words without meaning came out of my mouth and I entered a blind panic," he wrote. "I had never experienced a fear like that, a sense of fatality coming in. I could see my life ahead, and it was not worth living, I'm an actor, I need to remember my sentences, I could not remember my name now," Emilia said.

One week later the aphasia was overcome and a month later Emilia Clarke was discharged from the hospital, but she still had a second cerebral aneurysm smaller than the first.

"The doctors said, however, that it was small and that it was possible for it to remain inactive and inoffensive indefinitely," he explained. "We just have to watch carefully."

Emilia Clarke continued to live in the way that her illness allowed, she was weak, fatigued and in pain.

"Season 2 would be the worst, I did not know what Daenerys was doing."

"If I'm really being honest, every minute of every day I thought I was going to die."

After finishing the third season of the series and spending time in New York City, Clarke entered one of his now regular brain scans, which showed that the second "smaller" brain aneurysm had managed to double in size, had to go to surgery again, the success was not the same:

"When they woke me up, I screamed in pain, the procedure had failed"

"I had a massive hemorrhage and the doctors made it clear that my chances of surviving were precarious if they did not operate again, this time they needed to access my brain the old way, through my skull, and the operation had to happen immediately. "

After a month in the hospital, Emilia Clarke was again discharged, although with a great mental affectation.

"I spent a month in the hospital again and, at certain times, I lost all hope."
