In a video shared on Instagram, Sheridan winced in pain as he updated fans about his health battle.
He revealed doctors initially thought it was gastro-related before being diagnosed with pancreatitis days later.
Sheridan spent nine days in the hospital and underwent several tests.
The actor revealed that his pancreas is inflamed.
“There’s not much you can do about it, but just wait for the inflammation to go down,” he said.
“I didn’t realize that I was going to be and will be out of work for quite some time.”
Friend Isabel Beyoso has launched a fundraiser and more than $50,000 has been donated so far.
She revealed Sheridan has been unable to work since April 12.
The actor will be “mostly bedridden” as he recovers, according to Beyoso.
If we can all come together to help him financially for his medical and monthly bills while his body heals, I know this will be one giant stress we can collectively take off his shoulders, so that he can focus on resting, recovering, and healing,” she said.
“Every little bit helps and he appreciates you immensely.”
The star has been inundated with well wishes and said he would appreciate any money donated.
Fans have begged Sheridan to make a speedy recovery.
