Sean Hannity has publicly addressed viewer concerns regarding his recent on-air appearance, explaining that a pinched nerve in his neck is the cause of his "puffy face and raspy voice." The Fox News host clarified that these symptoms are side effects of prednisone, a medication he is taking to manage inflammation.

Hannity shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the injury happened during his training, which he has previously stated includes martial arts disciplines such as Krav Maga, jujitsu, and kenpo.

He typically trains four days a week.

The conservative anchor reassured his audience that he is recovering well and remains active despite the health issue.

“Thanks to everyone who has checked in.

I’ve already addressed this several times on my radio show, but while training, I developed a painful pinched nerve in my neck,” Hannity wrote.

“My doctor put me on prednisone to reduce the inflammation, and while it’s helping, it led to laryngitis and some puffiness, which is normal for this medication.”

This explanation comes after viewers noticed changes in his appearance during recent episodes of his Fox News program, leading to speculation and concern.

Hannity hosts his self-titled show four times a week and his radio program, "The Sean Hannity Show," five times a week.

His transparency about his health provides clarity for his audience, who had expressed worry over his condition.
