'Dancing with the Stars' Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Details Mid-Flight 'Medical Emergency'

Inaba said two doctors and flight crew helped her after she felt dizzy, nauseous and numb, and she later left the ER to rest at a hotel.

  • On Wednesday, April 15, Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, 58, suffered a medical emergency aboard a Delta flight to New York, prompting Port Authority Police and EMS to transport her to a hospital upon landing at John F. Kennedy Airport.
  • Inaba was traveling to New York for a campaign with Novartis to raise awareness for Sjögren's disease, an autoimmune disorder she has, though she stated the incident was unrelated to her diagnosis.
  • During the flight, Inaba felt "very unwell," experiencing dizziness, nausea, and numbness in her arms; she received assistance from flight crew and an onboard doctor before receiving fluids at the hospital.
  • Inaba told USA Today she is now "resting up" and plans to resume advocacy work soon, noting the experience taught her the importance "of listening to and trusting my body when something doesn't feel right."
  • While living with chronic autoimmune conditions including lupus and fibromyalgia, Inaba emphasized this episode felt different and frightened her despite regularly traveling with a health tool kit for medical emergencies.
