Early in the morning of July 14, 76-year-old Tatyana Vasilyeva was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. At night, the village artist felt dizzy, she almost fell in her house. She first took pills, it did not help, then she called an ambulance, which took the artist to the hospital at 4 in the morning. According to the media, doctors discovered problems with the nutrition of the brain, which reduced the blood supply to the vessels that saturate the brain with oxygen. In medical language, this is called vertebrobasilar arterial system syndrome.
This condition is plagued with sudden fainting spells. Indeed, at the beginning of June, due to dizziness, the actress fell on the street. However, after a couple of weeks, she hopped on a plane and went on tour. In early July, she took the stage with Efim Shifrin in Yesentuki. It’s no secret that Tatyana Vasilyeva is a Stakhanovite of the business movement. She constantly travels around the country and performs. The actress works very hard, saving to support a large family. It is possible that health problems are connected with the overwork of Tatyana Grigoryevna, who, after today’s adventures in calling an ambulance, decided to get some rest. There is a lot of work ahead to put on two performances of the Lenkom Theater. Vasilyeva will play in the performances “Marriage” and “Jester Balakirev” online with actress Tatyana Kravchenko.
To date, doctors have assessed the condition of the village artist as moderate and have let her go home.
