Former X Factor star Myles Stephenson has revealed he is undergoing tests in hospital after learning he has a heart condition.
The Rak-Su singer, 31, shared in social media posts Friday that he has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy while sharing a picture of monitors on his chest.
He later explained in an Instagram story, “I’m fine. I have a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which basically means in a nutshell that my heart walls are too thick and it can cause trouble pumping blood around my body.

“So I have annual checkups. This is all very new to me as well, so I’m still figuring out what to do and how to conduct myself now regarding my heart and how much exercise I can do and things like that.”
The singer went on to say that he had also undergone a fitness test, but it was cut short because his blood pressure is ‘dangerously high’.
But he was quick to reassure his fans, insisting, “I’m all right, don’t worry, it’s very new to me, I’m trying to understand what’s going on.”
