Tulisa Contostavlos’ major health struggle
“I will tell you that running up to I'm A Celeb, during lockdown, I unfortunately became dependent on benzodiazepine. So, we're talking zopiclones and diazepam,” said the 36-year-old.
Tulisa continued, “I was alone during lockdown. I found out my dog had cancer. I got very depressed and I began self-medicating.”
“I came to the point where I was like, ‘Enough is enough. I don't care how bad it feels when I don't take it, I'm gonna stop taking it,’” remarked the musician.
Tulisa explained she felt like she was having a heart attack.
“I had pains in my chest. Obviously, your body can have convulsions, muscle spasms, so what was happening was my heart was spasming, so to speak. It was clenching and it was this constant feeling of my chest closing up. I just literally felt like I was going to die,” mentioned the celebrity.
However, she revealed she overcame her health issue in January.
“I didn't realise how much I had been affected by it and I started to feel alive again,” noted the Young hit-maker.
