Emilia Clarke<\/a> is reflecting on her terrifying health battle she says left her convinced she was going to die … after suffering two brain hemorrhages during her time on “Game of Thrones.”<\/p>\n

Speaking on the “How To Fail with Elizabeth Day” podcast, Emilia admitted the medical scares completely changed her mindset … saying every day afterward came with thoughts about how she had cheated death.<\/p>\n

The actress suffered her first brain hemorrhage shortly after wrapping ‘GoT’ S1 — collapsing during a workout and describing the pain as feeling like “an elastic band just snapping” around her brain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even while dealing with the terrifying ordeal, Emilia said she became laser-focused on convincing HBO bosses and the show\u2019s creators she\u2019d recover in time to get back to work on her dream role.<\/p>\n

Things got even scarier after her second hemorrhage while living in NYC … doctors were forced to perform another emergency surgery. According to Emilia, the docs were updating her parents during the operation … repeatedly warning them they feared she might not survive.<\/p>\n

The aftermath was brutal too … Emilia said she emotionally shut down and became hypersensitive to headaches, constantly fearing another hemorrhage was around the corner.<\/p>\n

She even recalled attending San Diego Comic-Con shortly after one surgery while promoting “Game of Thrones” … thinking to herself, \u201cIf I\u2019m going to die, I\u2019ll do it on live TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Emilia says she pulled through — and credits her work with helping her emotionally survive the trauma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emilia Clarke I Cheated Death Twice!!!
