She recently got some answers, but they only led to more questions about her health and fitness. Read on to learn more about Amanda's recent update on her health scare.

While there, Amanda filmed an explanation for her fans, which she posted to Instagram. "I am finally home after a three-stay I the hospital," read her caption. "For now we wait for a diagnosis and treatment plan."

They sent Amanda home with a heart monitor which she showed off on Instagram. Clearly, her doctors didn't have answers yet, so they needed more information. Her caption reads, "Just a few more days of wearing this monitor but I am feeling more like myself everyday!" Amanda has finally learned that health matters more than anything.
