Angie’s Medical Scare

Angelina Jolie had a medical scare recently when she experienced excessive swelling in her legs. The actress has been having a hard time with this pregnancy and has had swelling, or edema, earlier but this time it was blamed on an ankle injury suffered while in Texas. Due to her previous history of problems in this pregnancy, Angie chose to fly home to L.A. to visit her doctor.

During the trip home, Miss Jolie became more serious as the swelling increased and she began to feel more nauseous. Traveling in her and Brad Pitt’s Gulf-stream jet, the couple considered an emergency landing but Jolie wanted to see her own doctor so they continued to L.A. She was greeted at the airport by her doctor and security. The pregnant actress is currently resting at her home in Los Angeles.
