Rachel Arderi raised concerns among her Instagram followers after posting a photo from a hospital bed. On Thursday, the wife of Oniel Bebeshito finally revealed what had transpired. Through several videos shared on her Instagram stories, the Cuban model disclosed that she has been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for the past two years, a condition stemming from a traumatic childhood event involving the death of a sibling.
The incident that landed her in the hospital occurred on Wednesday while she was in a car with Oniel and some friends. Rachel mentioned she consumed something that had previously triggered such episodes, mistakenly believing it wouldn't happen again. However, she began to experience sweaty hands and feet, heart palpitations, chest pain, a numb tongue, and an overwhelming fear of something bad happening.
Initially taken home, her condition worsened, prompting a visit to the emergency room. There, she underwent various tests, including an electrocardiogram, blood work, and blood pressure readings, which were alarmingly high. At the hospital, she received alprazolam to manage the anxiety attack. Once stabilized, she was able to return home.
"Life teaches us lessons. I'm someone who believes nothing is perfect, and everyone has weaknesses—mine is anxiety and panic attacks. What happened yesterday was indeed a huge scare," Rachel admitted, now focusing on her recovery and health.
