Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.) in a Sunday post said she had been hospitalized after a blood clot.

Hayes said she was discharged on Sunday after two days at the hospital.

“A health update from me. Listen to your body, and seek care if you’re not feeling well. Thank you to all the Dr’s, nurses, technicians and the entire team at St.Mary’s Hospital for the excellent care I received,” Hayes said on the social platform X.

Hayes’s post also featured a video of her in which she said she was “reaching out with a quick update.”

“So, I am currently leaving St. Mary’s Hospital, where I was admitted for the last two days. On Friday, I felt like I was dizzy while shopping — I was out getting phones at the mall, and felt like I was dizzy, but it didn’t feel normal,” she said.

“So, I went to the ER and was checked in, got a series of tests ran on me and they thought that I may have had a blood clot that they were able to break up with medication. So, I was admitted for 48 hours for observation, I was discharged today. I’m walking to my car now, and I feel back to normal. A little tired, a little sluggish, but definitely like myself.”

Hayes said she was “making this video because I want you to know that my body felt weird, and I didn’t know what was going on, so I went to get checked.”

“And that is probably why I’m able to walk out of the hospital today. When you don’t know what’s going on with your body, when you feel something different, have it checked out.”
