Beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira revealed that she passed out while filming a TikTok video and was rushed to the hospital.

In a clip she shared on TikTok on Friday, June 12, Nogueira, 28, wears a hospital gown and flats as she walks through the hospital with an IV.

"Pov: you passed out from severe pain while filming a makeup Tik Tok, called 911, rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, and now you're getting emergency appendix removal surgery," she wrote over the video, captioned, "So I just had my appendix removed 😳."

Following concern from her followers, the influencer shared a follow-up video after being discharged from the hospital.

In that video, she is seen resting in a bed with her hair in a towel. She recalls experiencing "discomfort and pain" while flying home to Massachusetts from Los Angeles. When she made it home, she attempted to "sleep it off," before waking up to even "worse" pain in the morning, she says.

"And I tried to push through, figured it was just a stomachache, pain, I don't know, so I decided to film," the influencer continues. "I was doing a makeup video, and while I was filming the room began to spin and I couldn't breathe and I fell on the floor and I just passed out."

When she woke up, she promptly called 911 and was brought to the hospital in an ambulance. When doctors conducted a CT scan, they found that her appendix was "going to rupture."

"So they put me into immediate emergency surgery and I no longer have an appendix," Nogueira says with a laugh.

"I have three incisions on my stomach and I can't really walk," she shares, before adding that her boyfriend Zach is taking care of her, "which is really sweet of him."

"Yeah, it's going to be an interesting few days," the influencer concludes the video. "And I just wanted you to know what happened, and I love you, and I will be here, in my bed."

Nogueira is dating Zach amid the divorce proceedings from her estranged husband, Cody Hawken. She and Zach previously dated in high school.

"After high school, Zach fought to be with me for 10 years straight," the influencer wrote in a recent TikTok explaining the couple's unique history. "I was in college, he was in the military. The timing was never right. I didn't want to do long distance."

Despite their previously incompatible circumstances, Nogueira said they remained in each other's lives and "always cared deeply for each other."
