Television presenter Tzofit Grant, who recently celebrated her 62nd birthday, shared details of a severe medical emergency that led her to fear for her life. During a celebration for her husband, singer and actor Shuli Rand's grandson's bar mitzvah, Grant experienced acute shortness of breath, describing it as "heart failure" and an inability to breathe properly.

Initially, she refused to be taken to the hospital, but after Rand's insistence, she agreed to a medical examination the following day. While initial tests at the hospital showed no abnormalities, a doctor, alerted by her symptoms, ordered a CT scan of her heart. The scan revealed a critical condition: three blocked arteries, two of which were 100% blocked, necessitating an immediate angioplasty procedure.

Grant recounted the terrifying moments, telling Rand, "I think I'm going to die." She recalled that she was "on the verge of an attack" and that the procedure occurred "at that moment." Even during the angioplasty, she struggled to hold back tears, and the doctor performing the procedure attempted to comfort her.

This health crisis comes shortly after Grant and Rand celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary. Grant had posted a heartfelt message on social media, expressing her deep love for Rand and wishing them continued happiness, health, humor, and warmth.
