“My health has changed a lot since I gotpregnantand gave birth," Halsey, whose pronouns are she/her and they/them, said in a series of Instagram Story videos posted.

"I started getting really, really, really sick. I've been kind of sick most of my adult life, but it started getting really bad (after giving birth)," the Without Me crooner continued, noting she is "allergic to literally everything" and was hospitalized for anaphylaxis.

"And I'm still looking for answers for the root cause of some of these things,” Halsey said.

She saw "100,000 doctors" before getting diagnosed withEhlers-Danlos syndrome,Sjogren's syndrome,mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), andpostural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome(POTS).
