Tearful Bella Hadid sparks health fears as she reveals debilitating ‘flare up’ that’s left her ‘out of breath’ and ‘fainting’
Bella Hadid sparked new health fears as she revealed a debilitating Lyme disease ‘flare up’ amid her years-long battle with the illness.
The 29-year-old model, who was first diagnosed with the disease back in 2013, gave her followers an update on her health in a post shared to her Instagram stories on Thursday.
Hadid included a close-up selfie as tears fell down her face and candidly explained that she is finding no relief from symptoms despite listening to what doctors have told her.
‘Haven’t been able to shake off this flare up… Slept 11 hours. Again… Nap everyday. Took every protocol from any and every doctor I’ve seen. Still nothing helping. IFYKY,’ she wrote.
The star added that she has since ‘diagnosed myself with 12 other things so that’s good.’
Hadid assured fans that she is staying hydrated before adding, ‘And no I didn’t go on a walk because I was out of breath walking to the kitchen.’

She further expressed, ‘I don’t think there’s a singular brain cell in there working and my last two are beefing with each other so I’m sorry if I ever told you on a bad day to journal I take it back and I’m sorry.’
The model concluded her post by penning that she was able to take a shower ‘without fainting.’
‘So again, if you know you know… that felt like a really big accomplishment for me today so maybe someone can send me a cookie or something.’
In an earlier slide on her Instagram stories, Hadid shared a post that detailed how it can be both ‘intimidating and difficult’ to be open about the effects of struggling with a chronic illness.
The media personality also got candid about finding ‘the strength to move through another day in a body and mind that are completely exhausted.’
The post also shared that Hadid ‘sees’ others who are in a similar battle while adding that there is still ‘hope.’
She included another selfie as she rested in bed and wrote, ‘Although this barefoot dreams kids poncho does make everything a lil better.’
Late last year, Hadid also opened up about suffering from ‘medical anxiety’ amid her ongoing battle with the chronic disease.

The star reposted a slide from @chronicillnesshumor which read: ‘when your chronic illness is chronic illness-ing and someone says “it’s always something with you” like… yes… one might say the illness is… chronic.’
She also re-shared a separate post from influencer Alexandra Wildeson titled ‘The Duality of life with chronic illness.’
Underneath, the star typed out, ‘The medical anxiety is soooooo real. Thank you for putting every one of my thoughts and daily situations into one swipe. The truuuuuth! @alexandrawildeson.’
Hadid has continued to keep her fans updated with her battle with Lyme disease, which both her mother Yolanda and brother Anwar have also been diagnosed with.
