Nicole Richie had a frightening health scare over the Christmas holiday - only weeks before she is due to give birth to her first child.
On December 26th, Richie was at the home of boyfriend, Joel Madden, when she became light-headed and dizzy. Joel rushed her to the hospital where the doctor checked her over and gave her the OK to return home.
A source told Star magazine,
“Her heart was racing - she was swearing and had the terrifying feeling the world was crashing in on her. She was scared to death that her baby’s health was in jeopardy. Thank God Joel was there to take care of her. He immediately called their doctor to say he would bring her in.
She’s been going at a frantic pace for months. Her body let her know it was time to slow down and make the baby’s health her top priority.”
I’m just surprised that she’s only had a couple health scares this entire time. Most of us thought it was practically impossible for her to procreate in the first place!

That description sounds suspiciously like a panic attack. Racing heart, dizziness, the fear that the world is crashing in on you, fear that you (or in this case, your baby) is in danger, those are all panic attack symptoms.
Panic attacks are not pleasant to endure, and even worse when you’re knocked up. I hope for Nicole’s sake that this doesn’t become a pattern. Living with panic/anxiety disorder is the pits.
