Jamie Foxx shared how a simple headache escalated to a medical health scare, Fox News reported.
Foxx opened up about a medical condition that left him hospitalized for an extended period in 2023. Speaking with fans in Phoenix, Arizona, Foxx recounted the onset of his condition, which began with a sudden, severe headache leading to a rapid health decline that resulted in a 20-day hospital stay, according to Fox News.
“Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil. I was gone for 20 days,” Foxx said in the video shared on Twitter. “I don’t remember anything. So they told me – I’m in Atlanta – they told me, my sister and my daughter, they took me to the first doctor and they said… ‘nah,’ gave me a cortisone shot.”
