Vivian Hsu Had A Dry Cough That Lasted A Month & Was Worried She Wouldn’t Be Able To Sing Again
The 46-year-old managed to find the root cause.
Vivian Hsu has been busy promoting her new song ‘Rock It Off’, but her plans hit a bump one month ago when she fell ill. In fact, the 46-year-old had a persistent dry cough and heartburn that just wouldn’t go away for one month.
After consulting a doctor, she realised that her cough was due to gastroesophageal reflux and led to a sore throat, dry cough and heartburn. Despite trying everything that the doctor prescribed, the reflux continued.
Vivian finally began to see results after more than a month when she began to change her diet. She cut out coffee, chocolate, alcohol and desserts, and also stops eating when she “feels 70 per cent full”, which she hoped would help her with the reflux.
After making her recovery, she shared with Taiwanese media that she “finally feels much better (…) I felt terrible for the past two days and I felt so unwell that I wondered what the point of living was, and doubted if I could ever sing again.”
She added that she will continue taking her meds, and said that “putting in hard work is my way of showing gratitude to everyone who has supported me for the past 30 years”.
