Alejandra Barros, a well-known actress from Televisa, has shared details about her recent health struggles. Barros posted a photo on social media showing herself connected to an oxygen supply, raising concerns among her followers.
In her post, Barros reflected on the health challenges she has faced over the past few days. She explained that after an intense three-month filming schedule in San Luis Potosí, where long working hours and changing weather conditions affected the cast, several colleagues fell ill at the end of December.
Barros said she also became sick at this time and reached her worst point just as she was about to start her vacation with family. “I was no exception… I had to go to the hospital because I felt worse than usual with this flu that I had for several days. After some tests they diagnosed me with pneumonia,” said Barros.
The actress, known for roles in “Para volver a amar” and “La sombra del pasado,” stated that this experience led her to reflect on her lifestyle and the importance of paying attention to one’s own health. “I didn’t listen to myself. I neglected myself. I didn’t want to interrupt my vacation or anyone else’s and I didn’t take care of myself as I should have. Here is the result. It makes me sad because I had been looking forward to these holidays for many days and spent one week feeling bad and the next week feeling worse,” wrote Barros.
She added: “I didn’t listen to myself. Tomorrow I return to San Luis to continue filming and return tired, sad, afraid of catching another cold with my lungs hurt, but eager to finish this project with everything I can give, and now listening to myself. I don’t want to abuse my body ever again.”
Barros concluded by promising that in 2026 she will focus more on her health and well-being. In another message posted online, she described how emotionally challenging this period has been and thanked people for their support.
“I can’t tell you that I’m 100%, but when I feel that the gray cloud comes closer (negative thoughts) I try to push it away and change what I’m thinking about. I don’t know if I’m explaining myself well, but the affection from my family, friends and those of you reading helps me stop thinking nonsense and concentrate on being grateful for all that I do have,” said Alejandra Barros.
