Singer-songwriter Monica had a terrifying moment during her concert in Houston, where she appeared to faint on stage. A video captured by a concertgoer shows Monica singing passionately before a figure with her signature blonde hair is seen passed out at the side of the stage. Concerned fans took to social media, expressing their worries and sending prayers to the artist.
This incident has raised concerns about Monica’s health, as she has been open about her past struggles with heart conditions, high blood pressure, and endometriosis.
Monica, 43, has been open about her health issues, particularly her mitral valve prolapse, a heart condition she was diagnosed with at the young age of 18. This condition affects the proper closing of the flap between the upper and lower chambers of her heart. Additionally, she has battled high blood pressure and has been hospitalized in the past. Despite these challenges, Monica has worked hard to control her conditions and maintain her well-being. She has also undergone multiple surgeries for endometriosis, a painful disorder affecting the tissue lining the uterus.
In early 2016, Monica opened up about her high blood pressure and the painful way she discovered it.
“I used to have horrible, debilitating headaches. I could not move or get out of bed. And sometimes it would hurt so bad that I would just pass out. So after being hospitalized for the same thing over and over again, I’ve learned to change some things,” she said in an old interview via BlackDoctor.org.
It was HOT in that arena! Praying she’s ok! https://t.co/ziNaKEgFQ4

The incident at the Houston concert has raised concerns about the toll that stress may be taking on Monica’s health. With several upcoming shows in the American Southeast, the pressure on the star is undoubtedly immense. Stress can have a significant impact on one’s physical and mental well-being, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions.
Monica’s devoted fan base has rallied around her, expressing their concern and sending prayers for her well-being. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of support, with fans hoping for a swift recovery and a return to the stage. The outpouring of love and encouragement from her fans serves as a reminder of the strong bond between artists and their supporters.
One person tweeted, “Prayers for Monica! I hope she is ok.” Another said, “Praying for Monica, wishing a speedy recovery. I don’t like this at all.” A third person who attended the concert said, “It was HOT in that arena! Praying she’s ok!”
Of course the incident at Monica’s Houston concert has sparked concerns about her health overall, given her history of heart conditions, high blood pressure, and endometriosis. However, many have been sending her even more well wishes and praying for a speedy recovery.
A rep for the R&B singer has not yet released a statement regarding this latest incident.
