Selena Gomez Blood Pressure Issue Sparks Pregnant Rumors: Should We Jump to Conclusions That Celebs Are Pregnant?

selena gomez pregnant rumors hospital visit 300x217 Selena Gomez Blood Pressure Issue Sparks Pregnant Rumors: Should We Jump to Conclusions That Celebs Are Pregnant?

Selena Gomez pregnant rumors followed hospital visit

Selena Gomez’s hospital visit for blood pressure issues sparked “Selena Gomez pregnant” rumors straight out of the gate when people learned Gomez was admitted for nausea and a severe headache.

Is it fair to jump to conclusions about celebrities being pregnant?

All too often, the baggy shirt or tummy bloat photos of celebs automatically get the pregnancy rumors rolling. Can’t a woman wear an oversized shirt or have a big meal?

What if Selena Gomez was in the hospital for something more serious? Pegging her as pregnant and having Justin Bieber’s baby seems to be jumping the gun just a bit.

Still, many would argue that if you’re a celebrity, this kind of speculation comes with the territory. If you want to live the life of the rich and famous celeb, you’re going to be picked apart for every fashion choice you make and every pound of weight gain you have… and, as in Selena’s case, every mention of an upset stomach will suddenly scream pregnancy.

For those fans wondering why Selena Gomez went to the hospital, here’s an update.

First, it looks like pregnancy rumors have been completely shot down. No, Selena Gomez is not pregnant!

Instead, reports surfaced that Selena Gomez may have blood pressure issues or could have been suffering from exhaustion and / or food poisoning.

E! News’ Giuliana Rancic said on the Today show this morning that Selena Gomez’s illness was stress-related. How could she not be under stress with her jam packed schedule and the imposing paparazzi?

HollywoodLife.com consulted with Dr. Dexter Sun at NY Presbyterian Hospital/ Cornell Weill Medical College to get some Selena diagnosis options.

Given Selena Gomez’s symptoms, Dr. Sun said, “If Selena is suffering from high blood pressure, it could be triggered by persistent stress, but that is unusual, but not unheard of, in an 18-year-old.”

The doctor mentions that high blood pressure can point to a kidney problem, such as infection or kidney disease, or she could have an adrenal gland tumor (though extremely rare, he notes).

Dr. Sun confirms that “increased blood pressure can cause nausea and headache,” and cautions that if Gomez’s blood pressure is high, “doctors will need to reduce it with medication” and it may “be dangerous to let her participate in activities.”

Stress-related high blood pressure would require Selena to make some lifestyle changes.

Do you think it’s okay to speculate about celebrities being pregnant? Or should we let celebs make their joyous baby announcements without the world trying to guess is-she-or-isn’t-she pregnant?

Perhaps celebrities have thrown out all rights to privacy?

Check out this handy flowchart to use when speculating whether or not a celebrity is pregnant – a humorous guide for how to properly identify someone with a bun in the oven!

Looks like they need to add “Did she have a stomach ache or complain of nausea?”

LATEST SELENA GOMEZ UPDATE: E! Online is reporting that a source close to Selena says she is doing much better, saying, “She spent the weekend resting and feels stronger. No more nausea or dizziness.” Selena will perform in Santa Monica today.

UPDATE 2: Selena Gomez took to Twitter and Facebook to thank her fans for their get well wishes: “Feeling much better, thank you all for being so understanding. Can’t wait to see you all today at Santa Monica Place for the Monte Carlo kick off.”

i scared piz say its not true

keith stoppard commented on Jun 13 11 at 12:47 pm

She is not pregnant.

Arcachnar commented on Jun 13 11 at 1:26 pm

I am so relieved she is ok i was getting quite worried. It isnt right though to go round saying a celebrity is pregnant just because they have migranes and nausea. Yes they do choose that life style of being famous and they know that not every one will like them but that doesnt give people the right to spread rumours about them.I love justin bieber he is so talanted and good looking. I hope that justin and selena are very happy together and best wishes for the the future.x

jacob commented on Jun 14 11 at 12:44 pm

Ok all you guys NEED a spelling lesson. I can’t understand a word you type. Justin cut his hair cause HE wanted a new look. He’s 17 , not 16. & You OBVIOUSLY didn’r read the article. The symptoms were from BLOOD PRESSURE issues not pregnancy. So shut up with the ‘selena ruined his career’ shit . Even if she WAS preggers, He would have just as much to blame. I love him & adore selena, But I’m being honest. All of you need to calm the fuck down. Selena’s not a whore.

cindy yanez commented on Jun 14 11 at 3:50 pm

You guys shouldn’t say that cause if she has high blood pressure she can get really sick so i will just stop saying mean comments that shes pregnant that can get a star really stressed and she has high blood pressure so just stop saying stupid things that don’t make sense

Rachel commented on Jun 14 11 at 7:45 pm

I didn’t finish u guys stop it just give them a damn break they are people they deserve a break so give them a damn break there tired they wanna stop hearing shit like this so just shut up. They love their fans but not like this so just give them a break. I think they need this break more than us they give us concerts so do this for them plzzzzzzzzzzz.

Rachel commented on Jun 14 11 at 7:52 pm

o and people who do think selena is pregnant ur wrong she is wearing baggy shirts because she has high blood pressure from these damn comments that ur putting that shes pregnant so shut up.

Rachel commented on Jun 14 11 at 7:59 pm

They are running tests now to see if she is preg…but she did think she was.

lilshorty103 commented on Jun 14 11 at 8:45 pm

People fucking need to stop calling celebs whores and shit like that….Selena is a beautiful women…you dont even know her….and she didnt ruin justin’s life…and for the people that do call selena a whore and shit becasue she ruined justin’s life then you are not a true fan to justin because if you were you would be happy for justin and not call his girl friend and whore…

jena commented on Jun 14 11 at 9:33 pm

I hope that girl is pregnant…then Disney wouldn’t know what to do. I know she’s a teenager like any other but good lord, hundreds of young girls look up to her! and as if there weren’t enough methods to prevent a teenage pregnancy! But I do hope she’s pregnant lol

Priscilla commented on Jun 15 11 at 2:57 am

If Gomez is pregnant she is very irresponsible – at 17 years she should have either kept her legs crossed, or if unable to do so, then at least use some method of birth control. But again, maybe the Bieb gave her an STD – who knows?

Shawna Marie commented on Jun 15 11 at 10:21 am

selena gomez is not pregnant she just has stress related problems i mean how cud she not with all this crap ur telling her just leave her alone she needs to rest this is the least we cud after she spends her time getting ready for all the concerts she gives us!!! im a huge of selena i hope u get better soon!!! :)

SG commented on Jun 15 11 at 10:53 am

Yeah well great i knew it. Selena is pregnant what a freaking whore, its cause shes a latina or mexican and mexicans always run where the money is. Justin BIebers got the money so ofcourse this mexican was gonna go for him. she wants the money. JB should DUmp HEr

RyanSeacrest commented on Jun 15 11 at 12:55 pm

anonymous commented on Jun 15 11 at 6:57 pm

No one really knows and doctors are still testing. People say “Oh JB won’t have sex till he’s married he’s smarter than that..blahblahblah.” but celebrities could be saying that to make you believe it…it doesn’t mean it’s true. If she is pregnant. What a whore. :)

ALEXIS commented on Jun 15 11 at 7:00 pm

If selena is pregnant thats okay what wrong all of you, just ask him (bieber) to merry her (gomez) thatsid,,,, or maybe justin want to be dady…………

roby pires commented on Jun 21 11 at 2:59 am

@ryanseacrest
you shouldn’t be throwing racist comments out there. being latina or mexican has nothing to do with it. its people like you that make this world a hateful place.
and to others calling her a whore and such just because she is with someone you want is wrong. whatever they do in their private life is just that. private. and also if they are having sex last time i checked it takes two to tango so don’t be putting all of it on her.

secret commented on Jun 26 11 at 6:55 pm

If she’s pregnant, then Miley would get the compliments like ‘Oh, You’re the good girl after all’ and Justin would get like ‘Oh, you’re a man after all’ but Selena would get ‘you’re the slut after all’ I don’t want Selena to get pregnant. She’s too young, she doesn’t know what love is yet and neither does Justin. There just two teenagers who likes each other. OFF TOPIC: Miley should not get labelled as the slut/whore is not nice, the media isn’t fair with her. While Selena gets the nice compliments and Miley gets all the hate even though both of them are growing up, they’re 18, give them some space. And as for Justin, he’s too intimate with Selena, he knows he’s only 17 right? I don’t think that’s right, even though all of us know he’s a very flirty canadian boy. They’re a cute couple, but THEY’RE RUSHING EVERYTHING. THEY STILL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN, MUCH TO DISCOVER, LOTS OF PEOPLE TO MEET IN THE FUTURE. They’re only teenagers. Normal, ordinary, teenagers who wants to have fun and discover things while juggling fame, fans and wealth. thanks -anon.

mckenna commented on Aug 24 11 at 5:17 pm

Yeah, why CAN’T photographers & gossipers realize that she cannot be pregnant, it’s just baggy clothing!!! They need to quit assuming stuff like that, usually isn’t true! They want the celeb to either be hated &/or stretched to make them sound & look better. I VOTE TO GET RID OF PHOTOBOMBING & STRETCHING, WE ALL GET THE WRONG OPINIONS WHEN WE SEE PICS.

selenaaintpregnant commented on Sep 27 11 at 5:52 pm

nn commented on Feb 07 12 at 7:11 pm

I’d hate to reply but half these people are so ridiculous. Selena isn’t pregnant, people. Learn to read before you type a stupid comment that makes no sense. Glad you’re feeling better Ms. Gomez. :)
