Singer HyunA caused concern after collapsing on stage during a recent performance, prompting fans to recall her previous health struggles with vasovagal syncope, a condition she disclosed several years ago.
In 2019, HyunA shared her health challenges on social media 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 unwell, she convinced herself she was fine until a hospital visit in 2016 revealed heart problems.
The singer also disclosed her diagnosis of depression and panic disorder, describing the initial shock:
“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.”
HyunA explained how she first experienced vasovagal syncope, which leads to fainting due to a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure:
“My vision suddenly went blurry, and then I just collapsed. After tests, I was told it was vasovagal syncope.”
Medical experts note that vasovagal syncope, also known as neurocardiogenic syncope, is among the most frequent causes of fainting.
