Ray J says doctors prescribed 8 medications for heart problems and might need a defibrillator

Ray J said doctors give him every medication available to try to prolong his life…prescribing eight different types of medication despite their grim prognosis.

The rapper tells TMZ… he went to see doctors who gave him the bad news, telling him they didn’t know how long he had left to live… and they recommended he stay in bed and take his medication.

ICYMI…Ray J says doctors only gave him a few months to live – telling his supporters that he doesn’t think he can make it to 2027. He says half of his heart has turned black and it’s only beating at 60 percent, which is not a good sign.

Ray J says doctors prescribed him several different medications, including the cholesterol medications Lipitor, Jardiance and Entresto — medications for people at high risk of heart failure — among others.

Doctors have told him to prepare for the possibility of receiving a pacemaker or defibrillator…although he won’t receive any updates until he returns to the doctor for a check-up in 14 days.

Ray J says doctors have advised him not to drink or smoke – which is difficult for him – but he does his best to stay on the straight and narrow. He says not being able to see his children “depressed me” and “made me realize I had to change the way I lived.” Ray is currently under a criminal protection order preventing him from seeing his children.

As for his plan to travel to Haiti to find a cure for his illness… Ray J says he knows the island nation is in complete chaos, but he says his research so far has led him to believe Haiti has cures for illnesses, including heart disease, so he’s willing to take the risk and travel there for treatment.

To conclude, Ray J adds: “If I get through this, I will be stronger and a better person.”
