Taiwanese actress Yan Xiaoyun, known for her roles in popular dramas, has shared a harrowing experience of sudden chest pain that left her struggling to breathe. This incident occurred earlier this year, months after she was reportedly replaced in a television series due to injuries sustained in a car accident.

Yan recounted that in April, shortly before filming was scheduled to begin, she experienced intense chest pain. The discomfort was so severe that she felt unable to breathe and had to grip the hand of her makeup assistant for support. The alarming episode lasted for approximately one minute, causing significant distress.

Last year, Yan Xiaoyun was allegedly removed from a long-running television drama production after suffering serious injuries in a car accident. The accident reportedly led to her being replaced by another actress, impacting her acting career. Her recent revelation about the cardiac episode adds another layer to the challenges she has faced.
