Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans hints at marriage issues as she seeks prayers amid health update

Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans hinted at problems in her marriage this week as the reality TV star told fans that she had "no support" on her way to undergo "a procedure."

The reality TV star, 31 - who appeared on the MTV show back in 2011 - shares updates about her life on social media, including having previously spoken about health issues.

The mother-of-three updated her followers on Instagram about her health this week, though she also suggested that things aren't great in her marriage to David Eason.

She wrote in a post on her Instagram Story yesterday: "Anyone else get blocked by their husband every other week? Oh you don't? I do". She included a laughing emoji.

Jenelle went on to reveal in a subsequent post that she was on her way to have a "procedure," with her telling fans on the platform that she was going alone and has "no support".

The reality TV star wrote in a post: "Going alone to get a procedure done for my esophagus today and I'm really scared. Have no support so any prayers are appreciated".

She subsequently shared a photo of herself with a tube attached to her nose and a machine in her hand, writing alongside it: "First part over, now have to wait 24 hours".

Jenelle followed up with a video in which she mimed to audio saying: "I am this close to falling off the deep end. I know I'm smiling right now but the light inside me is dying".

The post was also shared on TikTok and she responded to some questions posed by her followers, including seemingly confirming what her appointment had been.

She was asked by one person in the comments if she was undergoing impedance monitoring, which is understood to assess acid reflux in the esophagus over a 24 hour period. Responding to the fan, Jenelle commented: "Yes".

Jenelle also confirmed that it wasn't a feeding tube attached to her nose in the video and after another person asked if she was doing the "reflux test," she replied: "Yes".

It's unclear whether the appointment was related to any previous health issues that Jenelle has told fans about, with her having spoken about having "lung problems" in the past.

She told fans in November that she'd recently had four lung biopsies, suggesting that it was part of an investigation into her having "too much mucus built up in [her] system."

And more recently, she announced earlier this year that she'd been diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia, which is understood to be a bacterial infection. She told fans in February that she would be on antibiotics for three months.

It unclear whether her recent impedance monitoring had been related to such previous health concerns.
