Jessie J might not hit another one of her legendary high notes for a while.

Pop singer Jessie J opened up about her throat condition and why the doctors have advised her to temporarily halt her music career. The 33-year-old singer recently shared the adversaries she had to face in her long caption on Instagram and explained the details of her pain.

The Price Tag hitmaker posted a video of her singing a soft tune that she sent to her speech therapist on her IG and alongside it, Jessie wrote:

"The first song I sang was 'I Want Love.' Just hearing myself sing it and feel[ing] so vulnerable whilst singing bought me to tears," she continued. "I have never ever to this day (since recording it) been able to sing it because of the pain I am experiencing. Man it's been hard not singing."

"It's literally my lifeline and my happiness. Being quiet is not something I'm good at. Or makes me feel like myself. Lord knows I'm loud af," Jessie added while talking about her struggles. "It was in that moment I knew I needed to be honest with myself and honest with you all about where I am at and explain what is going on… To be totally real, to have your support and love would help me get through this faster I'm sure."

Jessie then took to her IG story to relay that she never expected to share this painful news with the fans as she was certain the whole ordeal would’ve been solved by now but here she was. The Bang Bang singer wrote:

"In February, I started to feel a burn in my throat constantly. I ignored it for a bit as I presumed it was fatigue from the studio," she wrote. "When I went to see a doctor I was told I have major acid reflux and nodules because I have continued to sing with acid reflux which was probably caused by the steroids I had taken for my ear late last year."

Jessie further explained that the acid reflux caused blisters in her throats. To counter the issue, the songstress took antiacids to “rectify” her problem, but “it didn’t work.”

"I am still in pain everyday," she concluded. "With rest and little talking/singing the nodules melted away. Like Olaf in the sun. But every doctor has told me if I sing (especially these songs) the nodules will just come right back."
