Kiss92 Radio DJ Divian Nair was rushed to the hospital on 4 April after having a suspected stroke, with his body having paralysis on one side and his face drooping.
His wife then called for an ambulance and he was conveyed to Singapore General Hospital, where he went through a few scans.
The radio DJ shed light on the harrowing incident on an Instagram post:
Here is what he said
Two days ago, my body told me to stop.
Well, it kinda forced quit my primary functions. I suffered a major migraine attack that caused some paralysis on one side. At the time, when half my face began to droop, my wife assumed i was having a stroke. She called the ambulance and I was rushed to SGH for two CT scans to see if there was a clot or bleeding in my brain. I was placed in high dependency and underwent another MRI scan.
Fortunately, all the tests were clean and showed no indication of a stroke. While the doctors could not completely rule it out, they determined it was most likely a major migraine caused by severe stress and fatigue that resulted in symptoms mimicking a stroke.
I feel much better now and am on the road to full recovery.
Rach and I wanna thank friends and family who showed up at the hospital even though they knew only Rachel could come in. We want to thank everyone who sent their well wishes and flowers. We also want to thank my colleagues at work for holding the fort but most of all, a big thank you to the wonderful healthcare workers at @sghseen (Hi Rohaida, Geraldine, Cindy and team!) and the @myscdf paramedics (Mira) who kept me safe the whole way through.
I’ve been stressed out with some rather large issues at work for the last few months but it’s time to slow down and gather my senses. As clichéd as it sounds, knowing I’ve worried the people closest to me has made me want to reset my priorities.
I’ll be off work and radio for a little while. Thank you for being patient. I promise to come back fully charged.
For now I’m excited to try this thing people call sleep or something.
