Halsey's Health Nightmare: Singer's Shocking Litany of Syndromes — Along With Anaphylaxis, Endometriosis and Near-Death Experiences
Halsey recently made headlines following a hospital visit amid her health woes.
Halsey's Health Struggles Started During Her Pregnancy
Halsey revealed she had health issues before and after her first pregnancy.
In a 2022 Instagram update, Halsey — who goes by she/they pronouns — revealed she dealt with her health issues before and after welcoming her first child, Ender Ridley Aydin, with Alev Aydin, on July 14, 2021.
She said: "I suffer on a daily basis with dislocations, and fatigue. It affects my mental health and body", adding the signs were "exacerbated" by the pregnancy.
Halsey, at the time, also had surgery on her hand because her fingers were "constantly disjointed."
She continued: "My mum's got to bathe me, dress me. Because I just physically can't do it myself. I try to do as much as I can — like wash my hair — because I want the independence. But it's so hard."
Halsey Revealed Her Health Battles
The singer announced she was 'hospitalized for anaphylaxis' several times in 2022.
In another 2022 post, Halsey told her fans she had several visits to different medical facilities due to her health issues.
Said the mom-of-one: "I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times and had some other stuff going on."
Halsey Formally Received Diagnoses After Early Hospitalizations
She was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).
After suffering from anaphylaxis episodes, the You Should Be Sad singer gave more details about what she had been going through.
Halsey, 29, said: "Basically, after seeing like 100,000 doctors, I got diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)."
According to the singer-songwriter, there was a possibility that another autoimmune disease could be causing the issues.
Halsey Began Dealing With Endometriosis
She was hospitalized for endometriosis amid her autoimmune disorder in 2022.
Before the 2017 Grammy Awards, Halsey underwent her first endometriosis surgery to remove the extra tissue from her uterus. Nearly five years later, she was hospitalized for the same disease amid her autoimmune disorder battle.
She shared her recovery progress on Instagram and X afterward, showing a close-up photo of her abdomen with three bandages.
Halsey said in a 2022 update: "Trying my best to keep things normal; Grammy's Coachella etc.
"But my body is putting up a strong protest. And ultimately demanding that I slow down or stop foreal [sic] this time. Especially so I can be in the best shape for tour."
Halsey Said She Was 'Lucky to Be Alive'
She admitted she was 'lucky to be alive' in June.

On June 4, Halsey released a new song to express how lucky she felt to be alive amid her health battles.
In the track titled The End she sings, "Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick / Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks."
She sparked new health concerns as she tagged the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the post, with fans speculating she probably had lupus or leukemia, as well.
Halsey Confirmed New Health Diagnoses
After the release of her song, she revealed she was diagnosed with Lupus SLE and rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
Following the release of her song, Halsey wrote a new post disclosing her Lupus SLE and rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder diagnoses.
She captioned the post: "Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.
"After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After 2 years, I'm feeling better and I'm more grateful than ever to have music to turn to. I can't wait to get back where I belong: With you all 🤍 Singing and screaming my heart out."
Halsey Almost Died Because of Lupus
Halsey confessed she 'almost lost her life' amid her lupus battle.
After taking a short break, the So Good singer called out fans who disliked her song "Lucky" which incorporated Britney Spears' track of the same name.
Halsey wrote on Tumblr: "My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet. Not speaking for all of you, of course.
"But it used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am."
She then shocked her followers when she revealed she "almost lost my life" amid her health issues.
Halsey Reflected on Her Health Journey
Halsey candidly shared the devastating impact of her medical issues on her mental health.
In her interview with Paper, Halsey opened up about the heartbreaking impact of her illnesses on her mental health.
She told the magazine: "I just felt really f------ ugly the whole time I was sick. I could not look at myself. I didn’t look in a mirror unless I was putting a contact lens in my eye.
"I was just unrecognizable. I didn’t look at myself. It was horrific, and it would spin me out."
Halsey Was Hospitalized Again
