Singer Halsey has revealed that she has been diagnosed with multiple syndromes since birth.
The singer, who prefers the pronouns she / they, posted a series of videos on Instagram saying: "Many of you have wondered what 's going on with my health and some of you saw a TikTok yesterday confirming basically that I'm allergic to words literally from everything. "
"Obviously my health has changed a lot since I got pregnant and gave birth," Halsey said. "I got really sick, really, really."
Halsey gave birth to her first child, son Ender, with partner Alev Aydin. Since then, she has been hospitalized for anaphylaxis several times (anaphylaxis causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can make you experience shock).
Halsey said she has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjögren syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a connective tissue disorder, according to the Ehlers-Danlos Society. Sjögren's syndrome is defined as a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by degeneration of the salivary glands, causing dryness of the mouth and eyes.
Mast cell activation syndrome can cause an immediate allergic reaction, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Johns Hopkins Medicine says postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a circulatory disorder that can cause an increase in heart rate.
The singer is allergic to coffee, potatoes, corn, spinach, ginger, garlic, milk, wheat, crabs, shrimp, carrots, peppers, almonds, peanuts, blueberries, melon, grapes, onions, pomegranate, turkey, cauliflower, cauliflower mustard, nutmeg, celery, pears, rye, lemon, coconut, bananas, peas, etc.
Halsey said the root cause of the health problems was still being investigated and added that he was preparing for the "Love and Power" tournament. "I'm really excited and I'm really confident that I'll be able to do it in a healthy way where I can do my best for all of you," Halsey said.
