She continued, “I have no clue what it actually is, but it’s something to do with the autonomic nervous system and it affects my heart. When I stand up, I get really, really dizzy and my legs get really weak and I feel like I’m going to pass out.”

Despite having only recently gotten her diagnosis, Sadie disclosed that she had been dealing with the illness for some time.

The Sweetest Thing star also shared, “I hate it for you my darling. I really hate it for you.”
