Sean Hannity explains health issue after viewers raise concerns
Fox News host Sean Hannity left viewers concerned with his appearance on the June 23 episode of his show. They pointed to his raspy voice and seemingly puffy face. The veteran host took to X to explain what was wrong.
“Thanks to everyone who has checked in. I’ve already addressed this several times on my radio show, but while training, I developed a painful pinched nerve in my neck,” the veteran host wrote from his official X account.
“My doctor put me on prednisone to reduce the inflammation, and while it’s helping, it led to laryngitis and some puffiness, which is normal for this medication,” he continued. “I’m fine, recovering well, and still training, but apparently a few weeks of prednisone has generated more social media commentary than 30 years of ratings success.”
He further added, “Appreciate all the concern and well wishes, including from members of the left-wing media. Sorry to disappoint them, but a pinched nerve, a raspy voice, and a puffy face aren’t taking me out anytime soon.”
Hannity had previously discussed his condition on his radio show. “I actually went to a doctor, and what he said is I had a bad sinus infection, which led to laryngitis, and I didn’t wanna take this crappy medicine called prednisone, and so he just said to ride it out, don’t worry about it, you’re not hurting your vocal cords at all,” he said there (via Deadline).
However, viewers who follow him only on television were left concerned after his appearance on Tuesday. According to Hannity’s update, he is recovering well.
