Content creator Betty Kyallo has talked about how working too hard left her sick prompting her to go and see a doctor to find out what the issue was.

The mother of one says fatigue had caught up with her forcing her to rest by force. Talking about her health scare on her YouTube channel.

'I was in the office with my employees talking about how the day had been.

Clients we had worked with and what we had achieved that week. After they left I started getting headaches.

I knew that something was wrong plus I felt I could not go home that way.

I called my doctor and went to my doctor and tests confirmed that my blood pressure was so high.'

Adding,

'Fatigue had grown for so long, they did the blood pressure test three times and it kept going high.

After that the doctor asked me to relax. Our lives move so fast, I am always everywhere and it has been a hectic couple of months.

My body had been giving me signs that it's tired but I do not know anything about rest.

I went home and called my friends and broke down on the phone.

I decided to take some days off, and that's what I have done for the last couple of days.'

She further explained why she has not been active on social media.

'There are a lot of expectations that social media gives you whether true or imagined.

I thought I share too much and so I decided to take a social media break.'

Her final advise to anyone out there going through a tough time is,

'Self love is important, take time and relax. Take care of yourself first before you take care of the world.'
