Country singer Carly Pearce is getting candid about her ongoing health condition
The “Every Little Thing” singer, 35, took to Instagram on Thursday to share her the story of her recurrent pericarditis diagnosis, as well as how she’s aiming to spread awareness of the condition.
“When I first started experiencing recurrent pericarditis flares I was in the middle of a grueling performance schedule,” she explained. “The flares were painful and I would become short of breath and fatigued. Afters seeing many doctors I learned I have RP. Once I had my diagnosis I was finally able to work with my doctor and make my RP more manageable.”
In her post’s caption she went on to explain that her symptoms included, “sharp chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue” which “could be misdiagnosed as other conditions.”
Pearce who has spoken about her diagnosis previously, announced that she’s partnering with a pharmaceutical company to continue to spread awareness of the condition.
