Mikayla Nogueira has been rushed to hospital amid a scary medical emergency.
Posting via TikTok on Friday, June 12, the beauty influencer detailed how she ended up in hospital after passing out while filming a makeup tutorial.
“While I was filming, the room began to spin and I couldn’t breathe and fell on the floor and I just passed out,” Nogueira, 27, recalled of the frightening ordeal. “When I woke up, I was able to grab my phone and I called 911 because I knew damn well I couldn’t drive myself anywhere.”
After being transported to the hospital by ambulance, doctors quickly discovered the cause of her symptoms.
“They found that my appendix was going to rupture,” Nogueira explained. “So they put me into immediate emergency surgery, and I no longer have an appendix.”
The social media star said she is now recovering from the procedure, which left her with three incisions on her stomach and limited mobility.
“I can’t really walk,” she divulged.
The influencer added that she initially underestimated her symptoms, not realizing her discomfort was serious enough to lead to emergency surgery.
“I flew home from Los Angeles on Thursday night,” she said. “While I was on the plane, I started having a lot of discomfort and pain. I got home around 2 a.m. and I thought I could just sleep it off.”
She continued, “I tried to push through, figured it was just a stomach ache.”
Nogueira shared she had been receiving support during her recovery from her “really sweet” boyfriend Zack Panaggio.
Nogueira first shared that she was dating in March, less than one month after she announced her divorce from Cody Hawken. Nogueira and Hawken were married for two years before they split in February.
“You’re going to want to be sitting down for this video. I am getting a divorce. Take a minute, take it in. I am getting a divorce,” Nogueira said in an emotional TikTok at the time. “We love each other so much. We would do anything literally for each other. I want you to know that. I’m not going to be sharing any details whatsoever as to why Cody and I have made this decision.”
She continued, “He and I were together for five years, married for two and they are some of the best memories of my life. Memories that I will cherish forever.”
