Ashley Cooke’s career has been on the rise, but the country music star has dealt with a serious health issue in the process.

In a TikTok video, she explains she has recently been diagnosed with a heart condition, in addition to her family health struggles.

“It’s a genetic thing called Brugada syndrome,” Cooke told Taste of Country. “A lot of my family members have passed away unexpectedly, very healthy and very young, from it. So it’s very scary.”

Cooke also shared both of her grandmothers died within the past year. Her father battled cancer for the fifth time. Her mother suffered a heart attack.

AS far as Cooke’s health, the singer is working with a cardiologist.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Brugada syndrome is a rare condition that can be life-threatening and there is “an increased risk of irregular heart rhythms beginning in the lower chambers of the heart.”

The condition can cause fainting, as well as sudden cardiac arrest.

“The crazy part is, it doesn’t really impact anything about my daily life,” she explained. “That’s the scary part of Brugada syndrome. It just feels like a ghost around you. Because there’s no warning signs, no symptoms. It’s just one of those things where all of a sudden one day, this certain thing in your heart can just stop, and you’re just gone.”
