Alejandra Espinoza was sharing in the Alejandro Chabán podcast. The current host of “El Gordo y la Flaca”, for Lili Estefan’s birthday, said that she suffered from a severe anxiety attack, which left her paralyzed while in Las Vegas. Her symptoms were so strong that her entire body was paralyzed.
“I had a horrible panic attack in Las Vegas. “I was celebrating our anniversary with Aníbal, super calm, we were crossing from one casino to another and I started to feel what I thought was a heart attack.”said the actress and television host, as reported by Mezcal TV.
She also added: “My arms were very tingling, a horrible pain, I felt like my heart was going to explode, I couldn’t even explain it to my husband.” “When I got to the hotel bathroom, I started crying and I was asking God to please let me see Matteo, it was the only thing I wanted, to see my son again,” said Alejandra, on the verge of crying.
Everything returned to normal for Alejandra Espinoza once she returned home and was able to resume her daily life. Also being with her son again gave him the necessary strength to improve little by little. Now, it is important to remember that panic attacks are unpredictable, and sometimes they come even when you least expect it. They are often confused with heart attacks because the symptoms are very similar, which generates more anxiety in the person, which intensifies the pain perceived in the chest.
Espinoza recognizes that everything that could have triggered this situation in her is the fact that she had to have learned that everything has to affect her. What is she referring to? Alejandra decided to be an actress, for this reason she put aside her career as a host. In the communications process she was one of those who did not allow criticism to affect her, but in acting, letting herself be affected by emotions helps her interpret. That change left her totally vulnerable and exposed on an emotional level.
On the other hand, having been separated from her son for many months while she was recording her latest novel had a lot of impact on her condition. The bond he has with Matteo is so strong that not being with him probably generates anxiety.
It is also important that people who experience these types of situations, in addition to being aware of what is happening to them, talk to a therapist who allows them to get rid of all those fears or concerns that could be fueling this situation. Stress could also be another great motivator that activates the trigger and triggers all these types of emotional effects in a person.
Beyond any situation, it is important to try to stay calm, talk and above all keep in mind that anxiety attacks are treatable, and for this reason you have to go to therapy.
The passion of Alejandra Espinoza
At the beginning of 2023, Alejandra Espinoza shared her excitement on social networks because her husband and son had given her a registration to participate in the Paris Marathon and, although she had been preparing for it, it seems that she will not be able to do it the way she would have wanted.
At the time he commented that the problem for said race was that his right leg was injured. He said it all while on the verge of crying: “Tomorrow is my marathon, tonight when you go to bed pray for me and ask God to give me strength. I am injured in my right leg and that means that I will not be able to do the marathon as I would like, I’m going to do it as best I can. I’m going with everything, no matter what happens and however long it lasts, I’m going to finish this marathon.”
