Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was released Friday after spending two nights in a Washington, D.C., hospital, his office said.
Fetterman, who won the closely watched Senate race in Pennsylvania months after he was hospitalized due to a stroke, was hospitalized after he reportedly felt light-headed on Wednesday.
He remained hospitalized to undergo some tests, but doctors ruled out another stroke on Thursday. He remained under observation to rule out seizures.
FETTERMAN HOSPITALIZED OVERNIGHT AFTER ‘FEELING LIGHTHEADED’
“A few minutes ago, Sen. John Fetterman was discharged from The George Washington University Hospital,” his office said in a statement.
“In addition to the CT, CTA, and MRI tests ruling out a stroke, his EEG test results came back normal, with no evidence of seizures. John is looking forward to spending some time with his family,” it added.
Fetterman said the stroke last year was due to a heart condition called atrial fibrillation. Since the stroke, Fetterman has had some auditory processing problems that have required him to use special closed captioning tools and professional transcribers in real time. It is not clear if the light-headed spell was because of his heart condition.

Fetterman missed a Senate Committee hearing on Thursday, but he is expected to return to the Senate on Monday.
