Lisa Curry has confirmed she has spent the past five days in a Sunshine Coast hospital suffering mystery chest pains, which she believes stems from the “heartache” of grieving her late daughter

Lisa Curry has been admitted to a Queensland hospital after suffering mystery chest pains she attributes to “heartache”.

The former Australian Olympic swimmer shared on social media early on Wednesday that she had been in hospital on the Sunshine Coast for the past five days after feeling “a wide squeezing band around my chest and back”.

With tests having provided no insight into the pain, the 59-year-old shared a photo of her late daughter, Jaimi Kenny, in tears.

“All my tests are good. Everyone is stumped. But you can’t test for heartache,” Curry wrote.

Kenny died, aged 33, in September last year after battling a long-term illness in a loss that devastated Curry and her tight knit family.

“For every beautiful photo of our girl, there are 10 sad ones. As I lie here thinking about our Jaimi, I wanted to show you how much she hurt too,” Curry continued. “Broken hearted by things that people said to her and did to her.”

“Words and actions hurt people so deep that they store that trauma for such a long time. Some people can get through it … some live with it, some just can’t.”

Reflecting on her daughter’s battle with illness, Curry said that “beautiful, soft, fragile, sensitive” people like her daughter were often “taken advantage of, their trust misused and abused”.

She said writing her thoughts down had helped her work through the grief.

“There are some really questionable people who take advantage of others who are fragile, who go on to live their lives not having a clue the damage they’ve left,” she wrote.

“You never know what will trigger the heart ache, or the tears … it could be a word, a thought, a song, a photo, a memory, a hug from a stranger … all we need is a hug … and understanding.”

She urged anyone suffering any sort of chest pain to contact emergency services.
