Country music singer Carly Pearce says she developed pericarditis, will 'alter' shows amid recovery

ByCarly Pearce shared a health update with fans Thursday, revealing she has developed a heart condition called pericarditis.

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, the sac-like structure that surrounds the heart to hold it in place and help it work, according to the American Heart Association. The organization notes that a common symptom of pericarditis can be chest pain and that it affect people of all ages, but that men ages 16 to 65 are more likely to develop it.

"It's really important to me, but we have all decided that it is in my best interest, as I'm healing, to alter my shows a little bit," she explained. "So if my shows look a little bit different, just know it's because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now."Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP
