Doctors have determined Los Angeles CBS reporter Serene Branson suffered "complex migraine headache" while delivering a live report at the Grammys which caused her to speak gibberish.
Although many believed she may have suffered a stroke, doctors says she had "dysphasic language dysfunction" ... a condition in which people can't get the words out even though they know what they want to say.
Branson recalls the incident telling KCBS:
- "I was having trouble remembering the word for Grammy. I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn't have the words to say it. I started to think the words on the page are blurry. And I could notice that my thoughts were not forming the way they normally do."
Branson adds, "I was embarrassed, I was terrified and confused, confused – what had just happened?"
The KCBS reporter has now returned back to work and plans to spread awareness on complex migraine headaches.
