Influencer Mikayla Nogueira Passes Out While Filming TikTok

Beauty and lifestyle TikTok influencer Mikayla Nogueira shared a frightening health scare with her followers on June 12, 2026. While filming a makeup video at home, she experienced severe pain, passed out, called 911 upon waking, and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to remove her appendix before it ruptured.

Nogueira, 28 (sometimes reported as 27 in coverage), had flown home to Massachusetts from Los Angeles the night before. She began feeling discomfort and pain on the plane but tried to sleep it off, assuming it was a stomachache. The next morning, the pain worsened, but she decided to push through and film a makeup TikTok video.

As she was filming, “the room began to spin and I couldn’t breathe and fell on the floor and I just passed out,” she recounted in a follow-up TikTok video shared from her hospital bed. When she regained consciousness, she grabbed her phone and called 911, knowing she couldn’t drive herself.

Paramedics transported her to the hospital by ambulance. Doctors performed a CT scan (or CAT scan), which revealed her appendix was on the verge of rupturing. She was immediately taken into emergency surgery. “So they put me into immediate emergency surgery and I no longer have an appendix,” Nogueira explained with a laugh in her update.

Post-surgery, Nogueira has three incisions on her stomach and has had difficulty walking. In her videos, she appears in a hospital gown walking with an IV and later resting at home with a towel on her hair. She noted that the timing isn’t ideal, as it coincides with her birthday on June 13, but she is focusing on rest.

Her boyfriend, Zach (with whom she has a history dating back to high school), has been caring for her during recovery. Nogueira and Zach reconnected after her separation and ongoing divorce proceedings from ex-husband Cody Hawken.

In her message to fans, she said: “Yeah, it’s going to be an interesting few days... I just wanted you to know what happened, and I love you, and I will be here, in my bed.”
