“How I fell seriously ill after I quit smoking and drinking” – Actor Don Richard opens up on battle with strange illness (Video)

Nollywood actor Don Richard has opened up about a health scare that befell him after quitting smoking and drinking.

In a video captured online, he revealed that he started experiencing serious health issues two years after he had made the decision to drop his old lifestyle. The illness left him baffled, as he expected his health would improve after dropping those habits.

The actor recalled being admitted to the hospital, which made him reflect deeply about life, health, and the hidden dangers people carry inside them without knowing. He explained that many serious health problems, especially among public figures, often begin internally and show no signs until they become severe.

Don Richard added that while in the hospital, he had various conversations with doctors and realised that many common causes of death are linked to hidden issues involving major organs like the liver, lungs and kidneys. He advised people not to assume good health just because they feel fine on the outside.
