Simone Biles has been through a nerve-wracking health scare in the past. In Tokyo, she had to overcome a condition called the ‘twisties,’ where a gymnast loses sense of spatial awareness mid-air. Imagine how tough it would have been to weather that storm. But at least Biles knew what she was dealing with. What about times when the diagnosis is still uncertain?
Well, Adria Biles, Simone Biles’ sister, is facing a similar nightmare now. What’s happening to her? No one knows for sure, but all eyes are on her, quite literally. On March 29, Adria Biles posted a mirror selfie with a lengthy caption on her Instagram story. She had a request to make to her followers, written with it. But what?
In her Instagram story, Adria wrote, “Need some brains, pls (if anyone has gone through anything similar).” And what was it? “I have passed out randomly 4 times in the past week! I’ve been to the er twice and I am reaching out bc all labs, scans, test, ultrasounds say im perfectly healthy!’ Im starting to calmly freak tf out but just wondering what to do?” she explained.

Do you know what’s worse? Simone Biles’ sister, Adria, posed in front of the mirror with a heart monitor on her. Yes! “Im now on a heart monitor to see what else could be going on soon, I shall know by next Friday but maybe one of you could ease my mind A bit?” So yeah, she asked open-ended questions and welcomed opinions from everyone, hoping that anything could be valuable for her at this point.

Adria, who is currently 26, seems like she is truly facing a tough time. Well, in this case, she can borrow a page from her sister Simone Biles’ book on how to see past a health scare. The gymnast herself has faced issues like anxiety, panic attacks, etc. So yeah, until something definitive comes in, Adria should either keep her mind off it or plan to overcome things gradually. But it’s always easier said than done.
However, one thing is sure: She’ll have Simone Biles by her side through it all. The recent acts of love have shown us exactly how close the two sisters are.

Adria and Simone Biles are two peas in a pod
Recently, Simone Biles celebrated her 28th birthday. That’s when Adria posted online to wish her, “screaming happy birthday to my forever built in best friend i love you so much.” She wrote this alongside a picture of the time when both of them were kids. You think this would be it? Well, Adria then clicked a selfie with Simone Biles, who pulled off the pout pose. Adria further wrote, “twenty-ATE looks stunning on you.”
Even after this humorous wordplay, she was not done. Adria then added one last picture with Simone Biles. And this one? Again, a childhood one, “cutie sister b**ty b**t girl… sending all the love and tequila your way!!! you’ve shaped me into the human i am MUAH SISTER ILYSFM.” Surely, the bond between the two sisters is still rock solid. Thus, Adria doesn’t have much to worry about because Simone Biles looks like she’ll have Adria’s back throughout this health scare. What do you think?
