Max George's hidden health battle comes to light with shocking confession

The Wanted vocalist, Max George, recently opened up about experiencing a "flicking feeling" in his chest after undergoing major surgery for a previously undiagnosed heart condition.

According to Daily Mail, the 36-year-old singer had a pacemaker fitted after he was hospitalised earlier this month for heart problems.

He stayed in the hospital for a long time and was released on Christmas Day.

On Tuesday, George shared on his Instagram Stories that he felt a strange sensation in his chest, saying that the doctors had no idea what it was.

After filling his followers in on his condition, he went on to ask them if they had ever felt the same thing as he got ready for a check-up.

In his video, George can be heard quipping, “I'm in the hospital tomorrow for another checkup because I've been getting this flicking feeling in the left side of my chest. I'm actually getting it right now.”

The Lightning crooner added, “I was wondering if you guys knew what it might be or you've experienced it yourself because the doctors aren't too sure.”

He further explained by guessing, “Maybe it's touching a nerve and it'll go away in time, or they might have to move a wire slightly, but I'm all ears because all I'm doing is research.”

“I know nothing about pacemakers. Any information I could get would be most appreciated,” George concluded.
