Actress Sarah Martins has been hospitalised following a severe health scare, revealing she woke up feeling lifeless and unable to feel parts of her body.

In an Instagram post, Martins said she slumped after struggling to work, attributing her condition to extreme exhaustion from overworking herself throughout December.

According to her, she underwent 32 tests, all of which came out negative, including checks for cancer, fibroid, kidney issues, malaria and typhoid.

She expressed gratitude to God and acknowledged her need for proper bed rest, stating she had neglected her body while prioritising work.

She wrote: “Woke up today and couldn’t feel any part of my body. For a second, I felt lifeless. I still struggled and went to my stores to do inventory and a few interviews for incoming employees, and that was when I slumped.

“All through December, I worked every single day, and even when my staff travelled for the season celebration, I still kept working. No days off, no stretches, no nothing… just a walking corps working tirelessly to cater for others, forgetting myself.

“I did over 32 tests today, and all came out negative, including cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney, malaria, typhoid, etc. I guess God took proper care of my organs while I neglected my body.

“I am typing this from a sick bed but I will be fine because the God that protects the vulnerable kids I struggle for will never fail me. They said I’m extremely exhausted and need proper bed rest. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your constant protection over my life”. (Via The Nation)
