Actress Alejandra Barros sparked alerts among her followers after sharing an image from a hospital, in which she appears using a nasal cannula to receive oxygen.
The photograph was posted on her official Instagram account, where the performer confirmed that she was diagnosed with pneumonia, a condition that forced her to receive immediate medical attention.
The message generated a wave of concern, but also support from colleagues and fans.
According to the testimony of the actress herself, the problems began after several months of continuous work under extreme weather conditions in San Luis Potosi, the state where Televisa’s upcoming telenovela Mi Villana is currently being filmed.
In this project, Alejandra Barros participates as an antagonist, a role that has required long and demanding workdays.
The actress explained that, at the beginning, she thought that the ailments corresponded to a common flu. However, as the days went by, the respiratory symptoms intensified considerably, which caused an evident deterioration of her physical condition. Faced with this scenario, she decided to go to a medical center, where she underwent several tests that finally confirmed the diagnosis of pneumonia.
