The Daily Dish Don't Be Tardy

Kim Zolciak-Biermann Addresses Her Health After Last Year's Mini-Stroke

The #DontBeTardy mom reflects on her life after last year's scare.

Following a health scare last fall, Kim Zolciak-Biermann is back and feeling better than ever. The Don't Be Tardy mom offered an update on her condition after she suffered from a mini-stroke last September and underwent heart surgery last October to treat an underlying heart condition.

Kim took to Instagram on Monday to share that following a stress test and check-up her "heart is working great." She also had an important message for her fans out there. "On a more serious note having a stroke really has given me anxiety, I never thought I would have to deal with anything like this at my age, but trusting in your medical team (and I swear I have the best at Emory) and listening to your own body too," she advised. "If you think or feel something is off trust your gut. You are always right!! #HeartHealth."

While the health scare may have sidelined her last fall — and forced her to exit Dancing with the Stars at the time — it certainly didn't slow her down for long. In the months since her mini-stroke, Kim has made time for vacations, to adopt a new pet or two, and to launch her very own skincare line, Kashmere.
