Sambhavna Seth On Her Struggle With Sickness Amid Lockdown : “No Hospital Agreed To Admit Me”

A couple of days ago, actress Sambhavna Seth was hospitalized as she was not keeping well. Her husband Avinash Dwivedi took to Instagram to share the news with her fans and wrote: ‘Hi guys, yesterday night we had to rush to the hospital as Sambhavna is unwell. We came back at 5 am in the morning.. And now taking her to the hospital again…So there will be no vlog today.’

Recalling her ordeal, Sambhavna Seth shared with Times Of India, “I have been suffering from frequent bouts of acute cold and cough for years. Each time, it takes me around 20 days to recover. Last month, I was down with yet another bout and was on medication. I didn’t tell anyone, barring a few friends, because I feared that people might mistake it for COVID-19. I thought that I would get better with medication, as always. However, by Sunday evening, I was in a bad state. My condition worsened after my vision blurred suddenly and I started getting anxiety attacks. When Avinash checked my blood pressure, it was dangerously low. Soon after, I started feeling dizzy and experienced excruciating pain in my left ear. Despite being unwell, I walked inside the house through the night, as I would feel dizzy the moment I sat down.”

However, around 4 am on Monday, the earache became so unbearable that Sambhavna Seth decided to rush to a hospital. However, that’s when the real ‘pain’ started. She shared, “To our shock, no hospital agreed to admit me. We must have visited around seven hospitals and each time, we were turned away at the entrance. They would simply refuse to allow us in, or tell us that no doctors were available. I think they feared that I was infected with COVID-19. Finally, a hospital took me in after checking my temperature, only to tell me that I needed to consult an ENT specialist, who wasn’t available at their hospital. We eventually left for home and I slept for about an-hour-and-a-half before I woke up with even more pain, anxiety, and panic. I thought I was going to die. Many doctors suggested consultation on video, but I needed to be checked in person for my peace of mind.”

It was on Tuesday morning that Sambhavna Seth finally got to visit a doctor. The actress said she met a doctor who seemed to be Godsend. She asked her to reach the hospital within 15 minutes, and the actress rushed. She told her that there was a severe infection in her ear and everything was a result of that. Thankfully, the dizziness has subsided because of medication now.
