Miley Cyrus just talked about a “traumatizing” medical incident back when she starred in Hannah Montana.
The 32-year-old pop star, who skyrocketed to fame when she was just 14 years old, by the grace of her role as Hannah Montana in the titular Disney series, was diagnosed with tachycardia while filming the popular sitcom.
Speaking on the Every Single Album podcast, she remembered, "There was so much going on at such a time that it would become such a blur.”
"I don't mark it as trauma because in my real life there have been so many more traumatic things that have happened that are, like, real, but I think somewhere I am traumatized,” the Wrecking Ball singer admitted.
Miley continued, "When I was on the Hannah tour, I didn't know that I had tachycardia until I was in front of 100,000 people and my heart started going bananas."
The singer, who recently released her album, Something Beautiful, added that she confused her condition with something as simple as "low blood sugar."
"Everyone was like 'You just have low blood sugar, here's a cracker!' and I was like 'No, I'm telling you my heart is going at these different speeds and I can't control it. Something is wrong!'” she said.
Miley further revealed: "I got rushed to the pediatrician because I'm a child and they were like 'You're going to wear all these heart monitors while you perform' so I had two things - I had a heart murmur, a leaky valve, and I had tachycardia. And those moments were traumatizing because, well, the medical.
"And they were like 'You're nervous!' and I was like 'I don't think these are nerves...'” the Easy Lover crooner added.
"So then I had to wear these little monitors and someone from the hospital was watching me do my concert and they were like 'Oh no, you're just leaking blood. You've probably had this your entire life and you never knew because you've never been in a situation like this..." Miley Cyrus concluded.
