Carrie Ann Inabahas updated fans after revealing she was rushed to hospital following a frightening medical emergency during a flight to New York.
The longtimeDancing With the Starsjudge shared the incident on Instagram, where she explained she suddenly became unwell while travelling from Los Angeles for an event she said she felt passionate about.
After the update, many viewers were left wondering whether Inaba would be able to return to DWTS following the health scare.
For now, there is no sign that she plans to step away.
Inaba described how quickly the situation escalated during the flight.
'Yesterday was quite a day,' she wrote. 'I was on my way to NY for something I am very passionate about. But there was a small "medical emergency" on the plane.'
She continued: 'I very suddenly felt quite ill. And while it seemed like food poisoning, I also suddenly broke out into a cold sweat, got dizzy and my arms went numb.'
The judge said she usually manages health issues independently, but this incident felt different.
'Normally I handle most of my health things on my own. Like many people who live with autoimmune disease, I travel with a health tool kit and am prepared for the worst, but this scared me.'
Inaba added that the aircraft was also experiencing turbulence while she was in the restroom.
