Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has been hospitalised following a sudden health scare that left her unable to feel parts of her body.
The Asaba-based actress shared the frightening experience on Instagram, revealing that she woke up feeling numb and feared for a moment that she was lifeless. Despite this, she pushed on to manage her business tasks before collapsing.
The incident, Sarah said, was a result of months of continuous work without rest.
“Woke up today and couldn’t feel any part of my body.
For a second, I felt lifeless,” she wrote.
She recounted that she still tried to carry out inventory checks and interviews for incoming employees before her body finally gave way.
“I still struggled and went to my stores to do inventory and a few interviews for incoming employees, and that was when I slumped,” she added.
After undergoing extensive medical tests, the actress revealed that more than 32 examinations were conducted, all of which returned negative, including checks for cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney issues, malaria, and typhoid.
“I did over 32 tests today, and all came out negative, including cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney, malaria, typhoid, etc.,” she said.
Sarah admitted she had neglected her own health while focusing on work and the needs of others.
“All through December, I worked every single day… No days off, no stretches, no nothing… just a walking corps working tirelessly to cater for others, forgetting myself,” she reflected.
From her hospital bed, the actress thanked God for preserving her life and noted that doctors had advised her to take proper rest.
“They said I’m extremely exhausted and need proper bed rest… Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your constant protection over my life,” she concluded.
