According to her, doctors conducted over 30 medical tests, including checks for cancer, fibroid, kidney and liver function, malaria, and typhoid. All the test results reportedly came back negative.
Narrating her experience, the actress attributed the incident to extreme exhaustion caused by prolonged overwork.
She revealed that she worked continuously throughout December without taking any break, even when her staff travelled for the festive season.

Sarah added that she had neglected her own wellbeing while focusing on work and caring for others, describing herself as overly exhausted.
She expressed gratitude to God for preserving her life, noting that she was typing the message from her hospital bed and remained hopeful of a full recovery.
Medical personnel have reportedly advised her to embark on complete bed rest due to severe exhaustion.
Following the revelation, fans, colleagues, and well-wishers have flooded her social media page with prayers and messages wishing her a speedy recovery.
