Jessie has been battling a mystery problem for several months, which has left her in pain every day and feeling frustrated because its having an impact on her voice, even though her vocal chords are not the issue.
The Domino singer admitted on Instagram: ‘Yesterday I tried to sing a song I can usually sing with with ease, and I couldn’t. The issue I’m having isn’t my voice but is effecting my voice. And well…I sobbed. For hours.
‘I let myself feel the broken part of me that sometimes I know I ignore when I shouldn’t. Like fell the floor TV show type s***.
‘6 months in and I still cannot get through a full day without pain in my mid neck / throat. Some days are so much better than others.
Devastating: On Thursday evening, the Bang Bang hitmaker opened up about the mystery health issues which she has now been suffering with for six months
‘Worst part is that it’s not my vocal chords. They are healthy and in there with their hands up like. Not us J, we got you. It’s something around them. Spine, thyroid, allergy. Who knows. The tests continue.’
The star usually tries to stay positive but admitted there are moments when she can’t help but feel ‘lost and alone’.
She added: ‘95% of the time I am good. Positive and strong. Which is what I portray on here mostly. But that 5% will grow if not acknowledged. So yes, sometimes like yesterday. I break. All hope disappears. I feel so lost and so alone in what’s going on.’
And Jessie thinks it is important to be honest about how she feels and sent love to those who are also struggling.
Worrying: The tearful popstar admitted: ‘I still cannot get through a full day without pain!’ as she explained that her condition has not yet been diagnosed
She continued: ‘I guess I’m sharing this because people are always saying to me ‘how do you stay so positive all the time’ and truth is I don’t. I definitely don’t unpack and live in how I felt yesterday.
‘But I don’t take pride in always pretending I’m ok. It’s not healthy. That old line ‘it’s ok not to be ok,’ I wrote it because it’s true and I still believe this platform is to inspire through truth.
‘To anyone else going through a testing time. I feel you. I see you. We will get through this. Love you all [heart emoji].’
Back in June, Jessie broke down in tears as she updated fans on her battle with Ménière’s disease, a condition of the inner ear.
The singer shared a tearful video of herself quietly singing her new single I Want Love, revealing it had been requested by her a speech therapist to monitor her progress.
According to the NHS website, an attack of Ménière’s disease may cause sufferers to feel like they or everything them you is spinning, lose their balance and feel sick.
Jessie also revealed she had been diagnosed with having acid reflux and vocal nodules, painful lumps on the vocal chords that can have a devastating impact on singing.
Promising her fans to be ‘honest’ with her post, Jessie penned: ‘I was asked to send a speech therapist a video of me singing something quietly, so she could hear my voice.
‘I’m in pain every day’: Back in June, Jessie broke down in tears as she updated fans on her battle with Ménière’s disease, a condition of the inner ear
‘(I am not naked I am wearing a boob tube. Well more of a tube in my case) I’m laughing. Thank god. We gotta laugh.
‘The first song I sang was I want love. Just hearing myself sing it and feel so vulnerable whilst singing bought me to tears.
‘I have never ever to this day (since recording it) been able to to sing it because of the pain I am experiencing. Man it’s been hard not singing.
‘It’s literally my life line and my happiness. Being quiet is not something I’m good at. Or makes me feel like myself. Lord knows I’m loud af.
‘It was in that moment I knew I needed to be honest with myself and honest with you all about where I am at and explain what is going on…
‘To be totally real, to have your support and love would help me get through this faster I’m sure
‘I’ve always been honest however hard it feels. It’s important to be strong enough to be weak. Especially on a platform like this.’
Jessie then took to her Stories to share a more detailed analysis of her problems, revealing that as well as battling Ménière’s disease, she had struggled with singer’s nodules.
Vocal nodules are hard, rough, noncancerous growths on your vocal cords that can be caused by overusing your voice and continue to grow if the voice isn’t rested.
The growths can prevent vocal cords from vibrating normally, which in turn changes the pitch and tone of your voice.
Jessie revealed her problems first began in February when she began to feel a constant burning sensation in her throat, which she initially put down to fatigue from recording.
However, the singer then began to suffer with major acid reflux and nodules and was prescribed antacid and a cocktail of other medications, but to no avail.
Jessie then revealed she had to endure having eight cameras going down her nose and examinations from six different doctors, who were left stumped by the cause.
The singer added that she was then put on an extremely strict diet which saw her eat ‘the same six foods for three months’.
Jessie did not specify if the doctors put her on the diet to help with her Ménière’s disease, with some sufferers claiming their symptoms improve by eating a low-salt diet, avoiding alcohol and avoiding caffeine.

Feeling good: Despite being left physically and emotionally drained by the process, Jessie vowed to remain positive
The BRIT-winning artist added that she also had her bloods taken, throat swabs, acupuncture massages and soul work, but confessed she was ‘still in the same pain every day’.
After being told to rest and reduce all her talking and singing, Jessie’s nodules disappeared, but she has been warned by doctors that singing again will cause them to return.
She added there has still not been any reasoning provided for her problems with acid reflux.
Jessie revealed: ‘I’m still seeing different doctors and doing everything I can to resolve it, I promise you that.’
