Jessie J hospitalised weeks after breast cancer surgery
"How I spent the last 24 hours," Jessie wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of an IV in her arm. "6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned."
"I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung," she continued. "IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD."
She shared that doctotrs have identified some infection.
"They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection still trying to figure out what and a little fluid on my lungs," she said, adding, "Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night I hate being in hospital and will continue the investigation as an outpatient," reported E! News.
The 37-year-old's hospitalization came two months after she shared her initial breast cancer diagnosis on social media. And since then, she has been candid about how difficult the journey has been.
"The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it's been the most challenging time for me," she wrote in a separate post to her Instagram Stories. "Especially as a Mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am."
"Having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all," she continued. "But it's life, I know that. And don't get me wrong, getting the all clear is incredible. But that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically."
"I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is," she added. "I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner circle."
Jessie updated her fans about her cancer diagnosis."I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," she said in a June 3 Instagram video. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early.'"Jessie also added humor into her health update, as she continued, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music," reported E! News.
"I do not talk about it enough," she shared. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book."Adding that she wants to stand alongside others who are battling cancer, she said, "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse--that's the bit that kills me," reported E!

Why are people in their 30s and 40s collapsing during workouts? Cardiologist breaks it down
From heart attacks on treadmills to sudden collapses at the gym, distressing headlines are becoming far too common, especially among those in their 30s and 40s. But experts now say the real danger may not be the workout itself, it's what's happening inside your body long before you lace up those running shoes. In a recent Instagram post, renowned cardiologist and functional medicine expert Dr Alok Chopra explained why seemingly fit individuals are experiencing life-threatening heart issues during exercise. According to Dr Chopra, it's time to stop blaming cardio machines. The true culprit? Metabolic dysfunction-- a silent but serious condition that builds up over time, often without symptoms. 'Fast track to a heart attack, it's not the treadmills triggering heart issues for the under 40s, it's the metabolic dysfunction,' Dr Chopra wrote. He urged young adults not to fear workouts, but to prioritise early screening and awareness of risk factors that often go unnoticed. Dr Chopra highlighted six key underlying factors that can quietly compromise heart health and may turn deadly during physical stress: Poor metabolic health Silent insulin resistance Chronic inflammation High stress levels Inadequate sleep and recovery Nutrient-deficient diets He explained that a workout may not be the cause of a heart episode, but rather the moment the damage becomes visible. 'If your body is already a ticking time bomb, a sudden workout might just light the fuse,' he warned. Prevention starts with awareness. Alongside basic tests like an ECG, doctors recommend undergoing a TMT (Treadmill Test) and Echocardiography (ECHO) to assess how your heart responds to physical stress and detect any underlying issues. Cardiologist Dr Naveen Bhamri also emphasised the importance of early testing in a separate post, adding that even people who feel healthy can have hidden vulnerabilities. If you're in your 30s or 40s and hitting the gym regularly, great. But don't ignore fatigue, sleep issues, unexplained weight gain, or stress. These could be signs of deeper metabolic problems. As Dr Chopra puts it, 'The treadmill isn't the enemy. The enemy is what you're ignoring.'

Why are people under 40s collapsing in gyms?
Why are people under 40s collapsing in gyms? By Radhika Hitkari Cardiologist Dr. Alok Chopra, in an Instagram post, stated that sudden collapses at the gym in people under 40 is because of underlying health issues. Many young adults have poor metabolic health, reducing the body's ability to handle intense exercise safely. Metabolic Dysfunction This often-undetected condition disrupts how the body uses energy, increasing the risk of sudden distress mid-workout. Silent Insulin Resistance Constant inflammation and high stress leave the body vulnerable to breakdown during high-intensity activity. Chronic Inflammation & Stress Overload Without adequate rest, the body can't repair or prepare for physical strain, making collapse more likely. Poor Sleep & Recovery A lack of essential nutrients weakens resilience and hampers safe exercise performance. Nutrient-Deficient Diets According to Dr. Chopra, addressing these root causes and not avoiding exercise is key to preventing such incidents and improving overall health in young adults. In people with poor metabolic dysfunction, suddenly undergoing intensive workouts on the weekends can pose deadly threats to their heart. Weekend Warriors Metabolic dysfunction goes unnoticed for years. Suddenly dying from a cardiac arrest or a heart attack while on the treadmill is often linked to the underlying factor and not gym itself. Silent Killer Get yourself tested regularly. This include a stress test, ECG, complete blood panel, lipid profile, HbA1c and oral glucose tolerance test and blood pressure. Get tested regularly

Nutritionist Shares Do's And Don'ts For People With Cough, Asthma & COPD
Cough and cold are common health issues that are frequently linked to respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Certain dietary adjustments are necessary to lower it. According to nutritionist Nmami Agarwal, one should include meals high in omega-3 fatty acids in their diet and stay away from foods that are too hot or cold in order to "wash away" the recurring cough in this monsoon season. Nmami Agarwal points out that our respiratory health can be greatly affected by the foods we eat, particularly their nutritional value and temperature. Consuming extremely hot or cold foods, like chilled yoghurt or ice cream, can irritate the lining of the throat and exacerbate a chronic cough. Similarly, boiling hot soups or drinks can cause pain and irritate the throat, especially for people who already have asthma or COPD. The nutritionist suggests avoiding foods with high or low temperatures and concentrating on anti-inflammatory ingredients, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, to better control such conditions. These good fats are very important for lung function and for lowering inflammation in the body. "You should avoid extremes, you should not eat too hot, not too cold food. Like the ones that are in the fridge. If you want to eat them, you can eat them at room temperature," Nmami says in her recent Instagram video. She further suggests in the caption not to consume anything with a high or low temperature, such as curd or anything from the refrigerator, or scalding hot tea and coffee that appear comforting. "Extreme temperatures hurt our immunity and worsen coughs," Nmami says. Speaking about the things to include in the diet, Nmami says, "The other thing that you should avoid is Omega-3 rich foods like flak seaweed or fish." Add omega-fatty acids, rich in antioxidants that combat free radicals like diary, flax seeds, walnuts, fish oil, and salmon, Nmami adds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nmami - Dietitian|Nutritionist (@nmamiagarwal) In conclusion, respiratory health can be supported by consuming foods that are anti-inflammatory and high in omega-3 fatty acids and avoiding foods that are too hot or cold. Such adjustments can aid in the better management of cough and associated disorders when combined with medical advice and a healthy lifestyle.
