Halsey

“Obviously my health has changed a lot since I got pregnant and gave birth,” Halsey said in a series of Instagram Story videos, referring to giving birth to baby Ender last year.

“I started getting really, really, really, sick…I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis [a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction] a few times and I had some other stuff going on.”

After seeing more doctors, they were diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

According to the National Organization for Rare Diseases, via E! Online, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders that affect the skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Mast-cell activation syndrome includes repeated instances of anaphylaxis, and POTS is a blood circulation disorder.

“I’ve been looking for answers to the root cause of some of these things, which may be an autoimmune disease. And I know I’ve had autoimmune issues for most of my life, especially having endometriosis,” they continued.

“I don’t want anybody to be worrying…I’m on a treatment plan right now,” adding that she’s currently in rehearsals for their upcoming Love and Power Tour.

“I’m really excited and I’m really confident that I’ll be able to do it in a way that’s healthy where I can perform my best for all of you. I’m here, I’m ready to go…the tour is going to be f–king crazy.”

We are wishing all the best to Halsey amid their health issues.
