Kimberly Chia, a 29-year-old Singaporean actress, recently opened up about a health scare that landed her in the hospital — all stemming from an unexpected and painful moment while brushing her teeth. On Friday, July 18, Kimberly took to Instagram to recount the alarming experience, which she initially found too embarrassing to share with everyone on social media.

"I was already having back pains. An achy back pain that was bearable which I ignored. Then came Thursday morning when I was preparing for work and brushing my teeth. I had a gag reflex while brushing my tongue and bent forwards in a j-rk. And that was when I felt something 'snap,'" Kimberly wrote on Instagram. The pain she felt was so severe that she blacked out afterwards.

According to the Singaporean actress, "It was a SHARP pain that made me see stars. Blacked out but still conscious. I shouted for my husband and he brought me to lie down. I was crying and I couldn't move. Tried to get up but it hurt so badly. So we decided to call the ambulance."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Kimberly underwent an x-ray and was prescribed strong painkillers, though her pain remained intense, "Couldn't move, couldn’t sit up. So I had to stay one night for observation. It's still painful now but I feel better and can move about, albeit slowly."

Despite her hesitation to reveal the nature of the incident, she ended her post with humor and a reminder, "So it's probably a muscle pull or strain and thankfully not a slip disc. Reluctant to share the real reason because so embarrassing?! Haha. This is a sign to take care of your backs, people."
