Country singer Carly Pearce says doctors ‘dismissed’ heart condition symptoms: What to watch for
Fox News
Country music star Carly Pearce tells Fox News Digital she was "persistent" in reaching out to doctors about her health condition until she got a diagnosis.
"My biggest piece of advice for anybody is: Listen to your body and be your own advocate … a lot of doctors dismissed me, and I was persistent until I got a diagnosis." "I had a really debilitating chest pain that was only relieved if I bent over like this (leaning forward), and that's a classic symptom of pericarditis. And then when you lay back, it gets way worse, because that wall is kind of inflamed around your heart." Stephanie Giang-Paunon is an Entertainment Writer for Fox News Digital.

"I'm doing a lot better," Pearce told Fox News Digital. "I'm still … on a health journey in general … to continue to hope that this recurrent pericarditis isn't recurrent." A post shared by c a r l y p e a r c e (@carlypearce)
