Columbian TV host Elianis Garrido suffered a shocking medical episode during a live broadcast of “Lo Sé Todo” on Colombia’s state-run Channel 1.
During the broadcast, TV host Garrido initially appears agitated as she puts her hands to her face then collapses to the floor.

Co-host Ariel Osorio rushed to Garrido’s aid, who was later hospitalized, The Daily Mail reported.
Garrido had reportedly suffered “respiratory problems.”
He also shared a message for his 35-year-old co-host’s mother.
“Everything is fine, Eli is perfect. She is finishing up some security protocols and she is fine, don’t worry. She will call you soon, we will tell you what is happening with Eli,” he said.
According to co-presenter María Fernanda Romero, Garrido collapsed due to the weather.
Garrido later wrote on Twitter that the episode was due to the flu.
“Never in my life had I had such a daring flu! Aggressive and invasive! Please take care of yourselves and do not minimize the symptoms. Chronic Bronchitis (and no, I DO NOT smoke! I don’t even vape!) my body claimed me because I did not listen to it for prioritizing my responsibilities,” Garrido posted on Twitter.
“Since Monday I haven’t had a single peaceful morning because of this cough!… I think I need to sleep for a whole week,” she also posted.
“Glory to God it’s not pneumonia. My trachea closed because my airways have injuries. Holding back the urge to cough can be dangerous. DON’T hold them! Hugs for all the good vibes and please take care of the weather changes and keep warm if you are on cold ground,” she wrote.
“To fulfill our adult responsibilities, we take pain relievers, we self-medicate and use what worked for Sutanita or Perensejita! The body is a machine, if something is not right, check it out and take care of it,” she posted.
The news comes just over a week after a local CBS Los Angeles weather woman suddenly collapsed during a live TV broadcast.
