Halsey has been ‘allergic to literally everything’ since giving birth and has been hospitalized multiple times.

The singer, who prefers the pronouns she/they, posted a series of videos on her Instagram stories on Tuesday explaining that “a lot of you have been wondering what’s going on with my health and some of you saw a TikTok yesterday basically confirming that me “I’m allergic to literally everything.”

“Obviously my health has changed a lot since I got pregnant and gave birth,” they said. “I started getting really, really, really sick.”

Last year they gave birth to their first child, Ender, with their partner Alev Aydin.

Since then, the star has been “hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times and had other things going on,” resulting, they said, in being diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjögren syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome. and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

According to the Ehlers-Danlos Society site, the syndrome is a disorder “of connective tissue that varies in how it affects the body and in its genetic causes.”

Sjögren’s syndrome is defined as “a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by degeneration of the salivary and lacrimal glands, causing dry mouth and eyes.” Mast cell activation syndrome can cause an immediate allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a blood circulation disorder that can cause an increased heart rate, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Halsey said they were aware that people had noticed the heart monitor they were wearing and said the root cause of the health issues is still being investigated.

“It could potentially be another autoimmune disease and I know I’ve had autoimmune issues for most of my life, especially endometriosis,” the singer said. “But it’s been exacerbated since I had Ender.”

They assured their fans that they are rehearsing for their upcoming “Love and Power” tour.

“I’m very excited and very confident that I’m going to be able to do it in a healthy way where I can do my best for all of you,” Halsey said.
