The singer also mentioned during an Instagram Q&A last December, 'Sometimes things happen. I get weird. My throat kind of swells inside sometimes. That's all.' She attributed these changes to lupus flare-ups, which can cause inflammation around the larynx, similar to cold symptoms.
Gomez first revealed her lupus diagnosis in a 2015 interview with Billboard and received a kidney transplant from her friend Francia Raisa in 2017.
InMusic Blog and JubileeCast reported that Gomez has been candid about her struggle with vaping and the impact it has had on her voice.

The singer also encouraged others facing similar struggles, stating, 'If you’re going through something similar, you can do it too.'
Despite the criticism, Gomez remains optimistic, telling fans, 'I am really excited because I stopped, and I just hope I can keep it up.'
