Mrs Hinch suffers from an inherited condition called Protein S deficiency and Factor V Leiden, which can increase her likelihood of developing blood clots.
Having a blood clot is serious and so it is vital they are treated quickly because they can stop oxygen getting to your vital organs, and even cause life threatening emergencies such as a stroke or a heart attack.
The condition even meant that the mum-of-one had to miss her honeymoon two years ago after falling ill at a personal appearance.
As she explained in her book Hinch Yourself Happy, the star ended up having to be rushed to hospital amid the appearance in Essex.

Back in September of last year, the 'cleanfluencer' asked fans for help on her Instagram stories.
She wrote: ”For the last four weeks I've been waking up in the morning with the worst joint pains in my fingers and knees and sometimes I can't even change Ronnie's nappy, or walk to the bathroom properly.
"And also, the night sweats are still terrible.
"I'm just wondering if I'm going a bit mad of is this all something to do with post pregnancy?
"I will book an appointment with my GP but has this happened to any of my followers?"
Later on she added: "So I called my GP, they couldn't fit me in, so he called me instead.

"So they would like to give me some blood tests to see what shows up, it could just be a drop in my hormones, but they want to test for rheumatoid arthritis – just to rule it out.
"But because of my blood condition and my previous blood clot, I am still on my injections, so I've got to get that sorted first in London, so I am sort of stuck in limbo a bit at the minute, but it will get sorted."
She seems ok now, so hopefully the star is managing her illness well!
