Afropop singer Vusi Nova has again opened up about his recent health scare.

The Thandiwe hitmaker was hospitalised last week after his heart was acting up.Speaking to Zimoja, Vusi said that he was diagnosed with high blood pressure.

 

“It’s almost like a heart attack. This time around my blood pressure was 180 instead of the normal pressure which is less than 120/80 mmHg,” he said.

The musician, who is now a record label owner after leaving Muthaland Entertainment, said that he is fine now after taking time off to recuperate.

Vusi told the outlet that this is not his first health scare he has suffered as he has previously been hospitalised for mitral valve prolapse – a condition in which blood leaks backward through the mitral valve in the heart.Taking to Instagram last week, he shared a video of himself lying on a hospital bed with the caption: “Proof of life, I sometimes forget that I’m not getting any younger. I feel 21! Got back from the hospital this morning and I’m feeling healthier and energised more than ever.”

“Make sure you exercise; your diet is proper, and you go for check-ups,” he said.

He continued: “Yesterday I was hospitalised very early in the morning, around five due to fatigue. My heart was acting up and then I found out that I have high blood pressure. Now I have to take blood pressure medication. Imagine, I thought it was the end of me.”
