• Size 8 was rushed to the hospital and doctors said she had blood pressure.

Gospel minister Size 8 has shared her journey fighting with high blood pressure condition.

The mother of two who was recently admitted to the hospital due to her health condition revealed she was diagnosed with the condition in 2015.

Narrating her experience, Size 8 said she collapsed in town at one point and after being rushed to the hospital, doctors said she had blood pressure.

She was speaking through her YouTube channel with her husband DJ Mo.

"I have never shared my story about having blood pressure. It's been crazy for us. It was 31st Jan 2015. It was not an easy day for me and I collapsed in town. After going to the hospital, I was told I had the condition," she said.

Since then, the mother of two said she has been in and out of the hospital. It is worse when she is pregnant.

Size 8 has since lost two pregnancies due to high blood pressure.

"I started taking medication since then. I have been in and out of the hospital so many times. We don't get a chance to share everything with you. It is even worse when am pregnant because it's usually life-threatening."

Size 8 credited her success since 2015 to God as she has many times wanted to quit.

"Everything you see us achieving since 2015, is by the mercies of God. I would have given up completely. One day, I told my husband that I was almost giving up. He told me I must keep fighting.

I used to lock myself in the room since I was physically sick and my hurt was giving up. I used to have a headache and I couldn't even play with my kids."
