Filipino Olympian Levi Jung-Ruivivar shared on Instagram that she had an anaphylactic shock while walking in the Olympic Village on Monday.

The gymnast, however, assured that she is "100% safe and healthy" for the Summer Games.

"This Monday I was taking an evening walk when I began to have an anaphylactic reaction. I didn’t ingest tree nuts (to which I am allergic) or suffer from a bug bite, but for some reason I suffered from a severe allergic reaction," she said.

Jung-Ruivivar went on to detail what happened that night.

She said that allergy symptoms "escalated rapidly" such as hardship in breathing, throat constriction, swelling, and itching on the chest.

Jung-Ruivivar also said that she needed to use EpiPen on herself to help ease the symptoms.

"When I got back to my room called my parents and got help from my roommate Aleah to find the medical emergency clinic in the Village. On the way to the treatment center my allergy symptoms escalated rapidly and my breathing became significantly labored, my throat began to constrict, my chest was itching, and I had severe swelling."

"It got to the point where I needed to use my EpiPen and I self-injected it on the way to the clinic."

Jung-Ruivivar got the help she needed after reaching the hospital, all thanks to roommate and compatriot Aleah Finnegan, her coach, and other staff members.

"Despite some initial difficulties I was able to find and make it to the medical hospital with the help of my coach, Aleah, Mrs. Cynthia, and the other staff members. Upon arrival I got the proper medical treatment I needed and was taken well care of."

"I just want to let everyone know that I am 100% safe and healthy. My muscles are fatigued and it definitely took a toll on my body, but I am doing everything I can to recovery and perform at my best possible level," she went on.

"I am slowly progressing back into routines; I will be competing at this Olympic Games and I am beyond grateful to everyone that helped me through this incident."

Levi is one of the three Filipinas, alongside Finnegan and Emma Malabuyo, who will be competing in the women's gymnastics.

In a separate Instagram post, Jung-Ruivivar expressed her gratitude to Finnegan, her parents and coach for the assistance after stopping what could have been costed her Olympic journey.

"Bless Aleah for being there to hold my hand through it all and thank you to my parents and coach for all the help."
