Rachael Finch was admitted to hospital on Thursday and underwent a series of tests after suffering from a severe migraine.
The Miss Universe Australia winner turned fitness influencer, 35, documented her stay in a series of photographs posted to Instagram, including one of herself hooked up to an IV fluid bag.
‘When [my husband] Misha and I first met I used to get bad migraines,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘They haven’t said hello in years. This felt much worse though. No matter what I was given in hospital yesterday, the headache stayed.’
Rachael then revealed the doctors had given her a full check up with scans and a spinal fluid sample, before telling her to rest up and work on her recovery.
This procedure is often referred to as a ‘spinal tap’ and involves inserting a needle into the lower back to collect fluid for diagnostic testing, or to administer medications, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions.
‘Docs have taken pretty pics of my chest and re-tested me for all classic illnesses. They also got a sample of my spinal fluid. No stress, just needed some extra TLC from the people in blue.
‘What started as a fever and headache turned into what felt like a bomb about to explode in my head.
‘It wouldn’t go away for days no matter what I took. All doctors and nurses in hospital are simply wonderful. So grateful.’
