However, the 37-year-old shared that doctors instead discovered an “infection” and “a little fluid”, weeks after undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
Jessie said she has since discharged herself from the same hospital where she was treated after breast cancer surgery, announcing in July that she had since seen “no cancer spread”.
Jessie J says breast cancer surgery ‘isn’t a speedy recovery and it isn’t meant to be’
In a post on Instagram, the Price Tag singer told her followers: “Six weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned.
“I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung, it is not a blood clot thank god.
“They ran a lot of tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid on my lungs.
“Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.”
She went on to say it was “frustrating” that her career plans had to change due to her surgery and hospital visits, and added that she had been “working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all”.

Jessie continued: “I know for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery.
“The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it’s been the most challenging time for me, especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am.”
The former coach on The Voice said her visit to hospital was a “reminder to myself to slow down” even though she felt she was already at a slow pace.

Jessie added: “This isn’t a speedy recovery and it isn’t meant to be.
“As an ADHD Aries, fire breathing dragon t-rex, I can do it myself, I’m always ok woman. That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept to be honest.
“I love moving and working and being up and active but I can’t be right now, and that’s what it is, and I am finding the strength knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.”
