Ireland has cardiophobia.

A 2014 medical journal described the condition as a patient who has “complaints of chest pain and heart palpitations accompanied by fears of having a heart attack and of dying. They focus attention on their heart when experiencing stress and arousal, perceive its function in a phobic manner, and continue to believe they suffer from an organic heart problem despite repeated negative medical tests.”

Ireland told Willow Smith, “I have a fear of my own heartbeat.”

“When it starts getting really fast, even when I’m slightly nervous or if I exercise or anything, I start panicking to the point where I’m convinced, not matter what anyone says, that I’m going to have a heart attack and I have to go to a hospital,” Ireland said. “I’ve had maybe over 20 hospital visits in my life.”

Ireland previously spoke out about her condition earlier this year.
