Stewart, 80, the first wife of musician Rod Stewart, shared a video on Instagram late on Monday, Oct. 6, revealing that she's in the hospital.
The actress and former model began the clip by explaining her absence on social media and shared that she's currently at the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center in California.
"I've been getting IV antibiotics for this infection I've had in my lungs for a really long time," she told the camera. "I've been on every kind of oral antibiotic and it hasn't gotten rid of it, so now I'm doing two weeks of IV antibiotics."
"I can't say that it's fun, but I'm really hoping that this is going to work and I'm going to feel 100 percent great and healthy again," Stewart continued.

"Anyway, I'm doing good, I'm downstairs in their meditation garden which is absolutely beautiful. I'm so fortunate to be able to come down here and walk every day," Stewart said, before turning the camera around to give her followers a look around the garden, which was filled with trees.
Stewart ended the video by saying she will continue to "update" her followers on her progress.
In the caption of the post, she said her illness is a "stubborn lung infection."
"My doctors have been advising me to do this for a while and I finally listened and bit the bullet and here I am," she wrote. "I have to admit I was terrified of IV antibiotics because I have allergies to so many medications but so far so good."
"Being here isn't the worst thing in the world…getting waited on and not having to do errands and deal with every day life.😉I'm grateful to the doctors and nurses here who have all been so nice and I'm hoping for a speedy recovery. 🙏♥️," she concluded.
Her comments section was filled with messages from well-wishers, including TV producer Cheryl Woodcock, who wrote, "🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."
"You look beautiful..would never guess you were sick!! God Speed your healing Alana 💕🙏💕," another Instagram user added.

Last month, Stewart revealed that she had COVID-19 in a post on Instagram as she shared a photo of herself sitting in a chair and wearing a face mask at a health center.
"I've been MIA this past week because I came down with Covid on Monday. Ugh! It seems to be going around again," she wrote in the Sept. 6 post. "I've been slowly getting better. I'm getting an IV of fluids and vitamins here at @sollishealth. I'm so very grateful to @carmencarelaser for helping me get through this with no complications. So far so good."
Stewart went on to share that "Covid always scares me because things have a tendency to go into my lungs and turn into bronchitis, or, God forbid, pneumonia."
"I'm told the best thing to do for anyone who gets it (as long as it's a mild case) is lots of rest, fluids, and the right supplements. Keep you posted. Stay well, everyone! ♥️🙏😷," she added.
Alana married British rocker Rod, also 80, in 1979. They welcomed daughter Kimberly Stewart, 46, that same year, followed by son Sean Stewart, 45, in 1980, before divorcing in 1986.
