Karen Huger has a knack for trying to elevate basic things, like health diagnoses. Her delivery quite comedic, especially when her frenemy, Gizelle Bryant, jumps in to challenge her in a similarly comedic way.
Real Housewives of Potomac fans got a refresher taste of that tit-for-tat fans have come to know and love from the duo. Though the topic of conversation was a more serious one, that of Karen’s health.
Karen Huger explains health scare to RHOP co-stars
During the most recent episode of Season 8, Karen participated in a Pilates class with Gizelle, Ashley Darby, and Mia Thornton. The Grande Dame opened up about a recent health scare.
“I went for all of the tests, which would scare you,” Karen said of the checkup that was done on her heart. “MRI, calcium, EKG, stress test, blockage and what have you. I still choke up when I say it.”
“I have five percent of calcium in my carotid arteries,” the RHOP fan favorite told her castmates. “But that is a number that cannot hurt me. It’s not life-threatening.”
Karen was taking all the precautions because her mother had significant cardiovascular issues. And in the interest of leading a healthier life, the entrepreneur was interested in taking the Pilates class.
“So that’s why we’re here? Because you have a blockage?” Gizelle asked.
Karen responded, “It’s not a blockage, it’s a deposit.”
In a confessional, the RHOP star shared the prognosis and explained the situation is not life threatening. “The good news is I caught it in time and diet and just being vigilant about my health will stop any more build-up,” Karen told the cameras.
“I don’t even know what to equate that to,” Gizelle said in her own confessional. “Five percent build-up in your heart, huh? Does that mean you need to clean your ears?”
