Deborah Roberts is opening up about a debilitating health condition she's been battling with privately.
The ABC 20/20 anchor, 63, has inspired her fans as she shared candid insight into her battle with vertigo and migraines, and what she has been doing to improve throughout the years.
Per Penn Medicine, vertigo is "a sensation of motion or spinning that is often described as dizziness," though not to be confused with being lightheaded, and can also create balance issues and inner ear problems.
This month, Deborah is on the cover of Brain & Life's latest issue, and taking to Instagram to share the special moment, she wrote: "Thursday thanks. I'm so grateful to @brainandlifemag for offering me an opportunity to shine a spotlight on living with and conquering migraines and vertigo."
She continued: "Millions of us suffer with headaches, anxiety and ongoing balance issues," adding: "I have privately dealt with these often debilitating issues for years. Jumping on planes, doing interviews, working out, while occasionally coping with discomfort and dizziness."
"I became good at masking it and working through it," she noted, before further sharing: "But now I'm working hard to deal with it all."
Detailing what she has been focusing on to get better, she added that she's been going to physical therapy, and that: "Targeting neck muscle weakness has been helpful along with other coping strategies like deep breathing and meditation. And there are also medications that help many."
