Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pennsylvania, was released from the hospital Friday after two days of testing and observation after being hospitalized for feeling dizzy, his communications director said.
Joe Calvello said Friday that the senator «expects to return to the Senate on Monday» following his release from the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC, around 5 pm ET.
«In addition to CT, CTA and MRI tests that ruled out a stroke, his EEG test results were normal, with no evidence of seizures,» Calvello tweeted.
Fetterman, 53, was hospitalized Wednesday. He said he felt dizzy after attending a lawmakers’ retreat earlier that day.
His staff members took him to the hospital, where doctors performed an MRI on him. Fetterman remained hospitalized Thursday while doctors ran additional tests and monitored him with an EEG for signs of seizures.
Calvello said Thursday that after reviewing the MRI results, doctors ruled out a new stroke. The senator suffered a stroke on the campaign trail last year.
Fetterman has been outspoken about her recovery from that stroke and the ongoing challenges she has faced with auditory processing ever since.
