"I fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder," she explained.
She continued: "At the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock.
"I smiled wryly at them. 'You won't find anything.' I said with a woozy voice..." she added.
She then wrote more about the ordeal in a Substack post where she detailed "absent" and "fainting spells" since she was little.

Evangeline even revealed how she was checked for epilepsy before the doctors settling for a diagnosis of hypoglycemia without doing any tests.
"For a good chunk of my life, I went with that – hypoglycemia. It added up — my metabolism is through the roof and I metabolize sugars, particularly, with [shocking] efficiency," she explained, as per Us Weekly.

The actress then said that the cause of her blackouts remain a mystery.
She went on: "I have come to believe that this 'checking out' is a result of my little soul reaching her limit of what she feels she can cope with in this life, and she 'leaves the building,' so to speak."

Evangeline later penned: "That when she has had enough, when the pain becomes too great, the stresses beyond overwhelming, the shattered idealism crushing, my soul exits my body and returns to pure spirit."
Fans flocked to the Instagram post, which promoted her full Substack post, to share their well wishes with Evangeline.
"Oh my goodness Evangeline! I am sending you all of the healing energy in the world. Take it easy! We're all here for you," penned one.
Another added: "Thank you so much for talking about this. Thinking of you."

And a third wrote: "Hope you're feeling better and heal up quickly inside and out."
Underneath the post, Lilly penned: "Thank you all for your beautiful well wishes."
Evangeline's hospital dash and health update comes after she announced she was retiring from acting.
Last year, after 20 years on screen, Evangeline said: "I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision.

"Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment."

Suns out and Irish celebs are spotted in Spain
Sun's out – (or at least sun was briefly out) – and that can mean one thing only, celebrity buns are out. As showers intersperse on this June Bank holiday at home here in Ireland, a host of sports-stars, models and influencers have jetted off to sunny Spain to, what is commonly known in social media parlance, 'live their best lives.' Football star Robbie Keane and his glamorous wife Claudine have decamped to their home-from-home, the millionaires playground of Marbella. Robbie and Claudine were joined on their Spanish sojourn by their three children with Claudine's mum Joan also joining the Keane clan's bank holiday break. Pic: Claudine Keane/Instagram Making the most of their mother-daughter time, Claudine and mum Joan posted a series of lookie-likey snaps, as they sipped fine Spanish wine and sampled some of Majorca's freshest seafood. While Claudine and Joan were relaxing and chatting, Irish soccer star Robbie found some like-minded sportstars to shoot the summer breeze with. Soccer mad Robbie bumped into a group of Irish rugby stars who also happened to have headed to Marbella for some summer fun. Pic: Instagram Football boss Robbie managed to inveigle his way into a rugby group shoot and he posed for a snap with the likes of Johnny Sexton and sports PR guru Damo O'Donoghue ,with the lads all looking like they were enjoying some boys time-out.
