Australian fitness influencer Ashy Bines has revealed she's been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, taking to Instagram to announce the shock news to her followers after she was taken to hospital after losing her sight.

Ashy posted a series of updates on Instagram sharing what happened, before saying she took herself to the hospital on Sunday with the medical team running a CT scan on the mum of two where they found a small aneurysm.

The 35-year-old detailed her journey on Instagram to her 999k followers, calling the news "pretty scary", going on to say she lost both her uncle and her nan to an aneurysm.

"I got admitted last night as they didn’t want me to leave without answers and wanted to do a MRI scan. I’ve waited all day and hopefully going to be one of the last patients to get one tonight and then praying for some answers, otherwise they will put it down to migraines and stress," she wrote.

"I really have to slow my life, workload and stress right down and once we have results from MRI then discuss what happens next with my aneurysm and if it’s related or not what else we can do. Maybe surgery, maybe keep an eye on it, these are the things we will discuss after MRI."

She also talked about the importance of slowing down her life in numerous posts.

"I already appreciate my life and health and body for what it does for me but when something goes wrong it really makes you appreciate it even more. It’s pretty cool our bodies give us messages to let us know something isn’t right, so without losing my sight I wouldn’t have known about the aneurysm so I’m grateful and trust the process," she said.

"Things in my personal life and work life are already in motion to slow me down, so thanks to my family, friends, and work team for supporting me and assisting with it all so quickly."

Little boy who lost his foot at 18 months now models for Primark, Amazon and Schuh
A little boy who lost his foot at 18 months has become a model and now he travels the world posing for famous brands including Primark, Amazon and Schuh. Arlo Tate, nine, was diagnosed with fibular hemimelia - a missing fibula - at birth. An "abnormality" was picked up at his 20-week scan - but doctors were unsure what his condition was at the time. His right foot was bent inwards so doctors suggested his parents allow them amputate his foot so he could learn to walk with a prosthetic leg. Mum Naomi, 38, says walking with prosthesis was incredibly easy and Arlo hasn't let his disability hold him back. Naomi says his friends weren’t aware Arlo even had a disability - as he plays football, basketball and rugby with them. In March 2020, Arlo was scouted by a diverse modelling agency who wanted to sign him up and he has since travelled to Prague, London and Manchester - being paid £500 a shoot for brands like Primark, Amazon and Schuh.

US states sue over agency rule on protections for workers who get abortions
A group of Republican-led U.S. states filed a lawsuit on Thursday seeking to block a federal rule that gives workers who had abortions the same legal protections as workers who are pregnant or recently gave birth. The 17 states claim in a complaint filed in Arkansas federal court that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rule unveiled last week violates the U.S. Constitution by interfering with the ability of states to regulate and ban abortion. The commission's rule implemented a law that Congress passed in 2022 with bipartisan support and the backing of major business groups, which requires most employers to accommodate workers who are pregnant or have related medical conditions.
