Popular Ghanaian actor, Drogba has revealed that he is now dependent on oxygen tanks as he battles a series of serious health conditions.

In a heartfelt update to the public, Drogba shared the extent of his struggles, which include multiple debilitating disorders that have significantly affected his quality of life.

Drogba has been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, a condition that disrupts his breathing during sleep, leading to severe fatigue and other health complications.

He also disclosed that, he suffers from Stiff Person Spectrum Disorder, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms.

In addition to these challenges, the actor is dealing with GAD Positive Cerebellar Ataxia, which affects his coordination and balance.

He has a bulging disc in his spine, causing severe lower back pain that radiates to his legs, making it difficult for him to walk.

The Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome he suffers from has contributed to his reliance on oxygen tanks, and he also faces claustrophobia, which heightens his anxiety during treatments.

He is experiencing visual challenges, tremors, and dizziness, which complicate his day-to-day life.

Drogba shared that he is about to undergo IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) Therapy, an expensive treatment that adds to the financial burden of managing his conditions.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, he remains determined to continue his fight, though he acknowledges the toll it has taken on him both physically and financially.
