Zolciak-Biermann, a mother of six and star of Bravo’s Don’t Be Tardy, told Michael Strahan on GMA the stroke revealed a deeper health issue.

“I'm feeling great," she said about how she’s feeling now, adding the stroke was a "blessing in disguise” because it uncovered a heart condition.

“The minor TIA revealed that I have a PFO, which is like a hole in your heart,” she explained. “I was born with it and it never closed. That's what caused it, basically."

Zolciak-Biermann went on to call it “sick” that anyone would fake a stroke, like some have suggested. “Especially since I love Dancing With the Stars. It's been one of the best experiences of my life. It's been very difficult for me to not be on the show,” she said.
