Lady Gaga’s health concerns
Lady Gaga also is a victim of insomnia. She has difficulty falling asleep and has taken steps to minimize the stress and mental tension that could lead to this condition.
In 2010, she had also revealed on Larry King Live show and in an interview given to Rolling Stone that she has lupus positivity.
She said that this disorder runs in her family and extended family and she had lost her father’s sister to the disease. Gaga has not yet developed the disease.
She had also mentioned:
“I make much more of an effort now to minimize the drama or the stress. … I take care of myself. I drink and still live my life, but I could never let my fans down. That would kill me to have to face that extra obstacle every day to get onstage. It’s completely terrifying, so I’m just really focused on mind, body and soul.”
She prefers to follow her family’s advice rather than her doctors’ advice. She added:
“At a certain point, you’re so beyond the point of exhaustion that you don’t know: Do I have a health problem that may or may not be real, or am I just really tired?”
