Country Singer Superstar Carly Pearce took to Instagram to share a health update video with her fans. She revealed she has developed a heart issue called pericarditis.
In her Instagram video the singer posted: “Hey, y’all. I have always been transparent and honest about every part of my life, so I feel like this deserves the same honesty. You guys know that I’ve been dealing with some health issues and, through that, I have developed something called pericarditis, which is a heart issue.”
“It’s really important to me, but we have all decided that it is in my best interest, as I’m healing, to alter my shows a little bit,” she said. “So if my shows look a little bit different, just know it’s because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now.”
“That doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be completely fine, it just means right now I’ve gotta really take this seriously and, so, if you’re coming to the shows, if you are gonna be a part of any of the amazing things we have going on with ‘Hummingbird, it is all gonna be great — it just might look a little different,” she went on to say. “So I’m asking for a little bit of grace.
According to The Cleveland Clinic, “Pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium or sac that contains your heart. Most people do well with prompt treatment, rest and medication. Others may need a procedure to drain fluid from their pericardium. In most cases, people make a full recovery. However, it can take weeks or months.”
She is working with her medical team to be able to continue to tour and perform.
