Singer HyunA caused concern after she collapsed on stage at a recent event, prompting fans to remember her previous disclosure about vasovagal syncope.
In 2019, HyunA shared her health struggles publicly for the first time. She wrote,
“I wanted to be someone chosen by everyone, so I kept running forward without realizing I was sick.”
She revealed that despite feeling fine, a hospital visit in 2016 showed her heart was actually in distress.
HyunA disclosed her diagnoses of depression and panic disorder, describing the initial shock of the news:
“At first, I couldn’t believe it, but now I’m receiving regular treatment and trying not to think of it in a negative way.”
The singer detailed how she recognized her vasovagal syncope symptoms during an episode:
“My vision suddenly went blurry, and then I just collapsed.”
Doctors confirmed the fainting was caused by vasovagal syncope, a condition leading to sudden drops in heart rate and blood pressure.
Vasovagal syncope, also called neurocardiogenic syncope, is among the most common reasons for fainting.
HyunA's openness about her health challenges highlights the importance of addressing invisible illnesses with care and awareness.
