Alright, folks! Gather ’round, put down your energy drinks and listen very closely. We’ve got a rollercoaster of a tale today—it’s got more ups and downs than my bank account after a bad poker night.
Meet Line Victoria Husby-Sørensen, who at 41, found herself staring down the barrel of what could have been a rather nasty brain hemorrhage. Yes, she went from living her life like a carefree Danish-Superwoman to playing a game of “Will I Make It?” in the blink of an eye – and let’s be honest, it appeared her husband had more interest in his football match than in his wife’s health.
Now, before we proceed, let’s not forget the vital context here: Line’s mother also had a brain hemorrhage. You know, it’s almost as if brain hemorrhages are the trendy thing in her family. But thankfully, Line has a bit of a different story. Unlike her mother, who checked out at just 53, Line Victoria went from fear and vomit—yes, there’s a lovely image for you—to snappy pink Moon Boots. Because nothing says “I’m alive!” like a bad fashion choice that might just end up in a TikTok dance challenge.
While she lay like Picasso’s blob art in her husband’s basement, the whole “death’s door” thing must have really hit hard. There’s something gut-wrenching about thinking of your kid waking up just as you’re about to pass into the ethers of the great unknown. It’s less “See you later, kiddo!” and more “Let’s have a chat about existential dread.” But thankfully, she clung to humor—her best weapon against ill fate—which helps us all remember that sometimes life’s tragic moments come dressed as a joke.
Yes, there is a serious twist in her tale, though. Line owned up to her “stupidity” and an unhealthy lifestyle fueled by, what, NOK 7,500 on cigarettes and energy drinks? Wow, that’s a bounty! That’s enough to buy a yacht or, in her case, a lifetime supply of energy drinks and really bad decisions. But don’t be fooled; Officer Health isn’t here to rain on her parade. No, her gallows humour became her BFF, and who can blame her? If I had a brain injury, I’d probably take to the internet, too, flaunting the fact I’m just a “brain-damaged flu.” Frankly, I’d take that over a typical Tuesday, any day!
Now, the good doctor had something to say, too—apparently, smoke and high blood pressure are the enemies, the bad boys who corner you in a dark alley and go “Surprise! Time to check into the hospital!” But, here’s a real kicker: energy drinks as a culprit? Can you imagine? Those bubbly cans of caffeine kicking back like they own the place, just waiting to ambush our arteries!
Also, can we take a second to appreciate the irony? Line’s gallows humour might just keep her alive longer than “better life choices.” Forget diet and exercise—bring on the laughs and wild pink footwear!
Humor is often the best vaccine, isn’t it? It could save you either way: the bellyache from laughing or the bellyache from ‘living your best life’—the choice is yours! And hey, nothing says resilience better than a woman ready to strut in Moon Boots while on the mend.
So, I say tip your hat—or your pink Moon Boots altogether!—to Line Victoria Husby-Sørensen. She’s dancing on that tightrope between life and death, armed with humor and a battery pack of determination, proving that even in the darkest moments, you can somehow manage to make a fabulous mess out of it!
Remember folks, there’s no punchline without a little setup. Life’s absurdity is what gives us the best stories, so go on, dance away—and remember, don’t forget to laugh! Now, who’s in for a round of energy drinks in neon pink? They’re on me! (Hypothetically, of course.)
– My God, now I’m dying. Now I died young just like my mother.
These haunting thoughts raced through Line Victoria Husby-Sørensen’s mind as she lay on the cold, hard floor of her home, grappling with an overwhelming medical crisis that felt surreal and terrifying.
Fast forward three weeks, and a vibrant and lively 41-year-old sits before me with an infectious smile, seemingly far removed from the illness that threatened her life. However, despite her spirited demeanor, she is still far from receiving a clean bill of health.

– It felt like I was experiencing an enormous masterpiece that I had never encountered before. It was a dark evening, around nine o’clock. My seven-year-old daughter, Maren, was peacefully sleeping, and my husband, Torben, was engrossed in a football match in the basement.
It was then that the gravity of her situation began to dawn on her, forcing her to crouch down in the dimly lit basement, which felt like a prison of despair.
Without needing to be told, Torben instantly recognized the severity of the situation when he saw Line Victoria’s distress and swiftly reached for the emergency phone. Meanwhile, she lay on the basement floor, overwhelmed, succumbing to a violent bout of vomiting and losing control of her bodily functions.
Lost my mother early
As she awaited the ambulance’s arrival on that grim basement floor, a gnawing fear of dying gripped her heart.
– I thought of how someone would have to wake Maren so I could bid her farewell, recalls Line Victoria, tears streaming down her cheeks as she relives that moment of sheer vulnerability.
While she is grateful her daughter remained blissfully unaware of the chaos unfolding, Maren is acutely aware of the word “hemorrhage” — a painful echo of the past, as her grandmother succumbed to the same fate when Line Victoria was still young.
– She understands all too well that my grandmother died of a brain hemorrhage when I was just a child.

Pink spontaneous purchase
After the alarming incident, Line Victoria was swiftly transported to Rikshospitalet, where she spent several grueling weeks undergoing treatment under heavy medication. In the midst of her medical ordeal, she found herself making wildly impulsive purchases online.
– I ended up buying some outrageous things during those dark times as I sat there, lost in thought with my phone in hand, she laughs, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.
One memorable purchase was a pair of flamboyant pink Moon Boots. She gleefully slipped them on, strutting across the living room floor as laughter erupted, filling the space with joy amidst her trials.

– You could say there were several family members who nearly lost their breath when they saw my impulsive purchases. But they bring me happiness, and isn’t that what matters?
Smoke and energy drinks
At merely 25 years old, Line Victoria faced the devastating loss of her own mother, Marit, who tragically passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of just 53.

While her mother had known the challenges of high blood pressure, Line Victoria had previously enjoyed good health. However, the intensity of stress in her life and juggling multiple responsibilities led many to speculate that her traumatic experience could have been a result of those pressures.
– Cerebral hemorrhage is influenced by a blend of heredity, genetics, and environmental factors. Stress only plays a minimal role in the larger picture.
– You’ve been candid about not living the healthiest lifestyle, haven’t you?
– Yes, I’m in that shameful reality now. Looking back, I was spending around NOK 7,500 a month on cigarettes and energy drinks. At my peak, I was consuming six Monster energy drinks a day. The doctors even noted these as potential triggers in my case.
Cerebral hemorrhage
-
Cerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain, leaking blood either into the brain tissue (intracerebral hemorrhage) or onto the brain’s surface (subarachnoid hemorrhage), accounting for 10-15 percent of all strokes.
-
The infusion of blood can damage brain cells and disrupt normal blood circulation, leading to swelling and cognitive complications.
- This severe condition can arise from long-term high blood pressure or congenital abnormalities in the blood vessels.
- Aneurysms, or bulges in the blood vessels, are often responsible for meningeal hemorrhages, with the extent of the injury depending largely on the size of the affected vessels.
- The most common causes are linked to high blood pressure and, unfortunately, symptoms can strike suddenly, often without a moment’s notice or prior warning signs.
- Common indicators include paralysis on one side of the body, facial paralysis, and possible speech difficulties, alongside intense headaches.
- Immediate medical intervention is critical, typically involving imaging scans such as a CT of the head to confirm diagnosis.
Affects acutely
Cerebral hemorrhage manifests abruptly, often accompanied by severe headaches, according to Heidi Øyen Flemmen, the head of neurology at Telemark Hospital.

– Lifestyle choices play a crucial role in the risk of brain hemorrhages. Smoking stands out as a notorious risk factor, with high blood pressure being the most significant.
Interestingly, research is sparse regarding the specific impact of energy drinks as a potential trigger for this condition.
– Should these drinks contribute to elevated blood pressure levels, it’s plausible they could serve as a vulnerability factor, warns Øyan.
«Happy go lucky»
People might assume that Line Victoria would take her health more seriously after her mother’s tragic passing due to a brain hemorrhage.
However, she openly admits that this facet of her life has been neglected.
– I have been excessively carefree concerning my health. It’s a realization that I can’t ignore anymore.
– But as a mother yourself, doesn’t that motivate you to make a change?
– I have made a vow to Maren that I will strive to live for as long as possible. I recognize I’ve fallen short, but I am determined to fulfill that promise moving forward.
