Rosie O'Donnell says she suffered a heart attack last week and is "lucky to be here."

The 50-year-old comedian detailed the experience on her blog Monday, saying sudden nausea, aches and other symptoms pushed her to do an online search for "women's heart attack symptoms." She took a few Aspirin and went to a cardiologist the next day. She says her coronary artery was 99 per cent blocked. A stent was inserted.

The comedian recently hosted The Rosie Show on the Oprah Winfrey Network. It was cancelled in March.
