Pearce said she kept pressing doctors until she received a correct pericarditis diagnosis, after initially being told her symptoms were anxiety or the result of a busy schedule.
The 36-year-old singer said she went public in 2024 because the condition briefly sidelined her, and she is now doing well without any major flare-ups.
Her message to fans was to be persistent when something feels wrong, saying she felt dismissed before learning there was an underlying heart issue.
In the same round of interviews, Pearce also reflected on her short 2019-2020 marriage to Michael Ray, saying the breakup shaped her album "29" and reinforced her resolve to leave.
