Frankie Muniz Hospitalized After Suffering A Mini Stroke

Frankie Muniz, former star of “Malcolm in the Middle”, is out of the hospital after suffering a mini stroke.

The 27-year-old actor and musician revealed the news on Twitter yesterday, writing,

“I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a ‘Mini Stroke’, which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!”

In an interview with PEOPLE, Muniz says that it all started one morning after his usual workout.  He jumped on his motorcycle to pick up a few things at his finacee’s mother’s home, and his vision began to blur:

“I thought I had something on the visor of my helmet. I couldn’t focus out of my right eye…By the time I got to her mom’s house I pretty much had no vision in my right eye.”

By the time Muniz got home from the short drive, his condition had gotten much worse:

“I was really dizzy and in a lot of pain in my whole body and my head. My hands were numb. I didn’t really have good balance and I was almost dropping the bike. I never had this before. I was like ‘What’s going on?’…I felt like I was getting stabbed in the head – the worst headache you could ever think of. I couldn’t see anything.”

When his fiancée finally arrived home, Muniz tried to talk to her, but to no avail:

“I was saying things and she said, ‘You’re not speaking English,’ …It was really weird.”

Muniz was then rushed to a Phoenix hospital, treated and released.

While he can’t wait to go on tour with his band, Kingsfoil, Frankie says that he’s taken the entire scare as a major wakeup call:

“I consider myself to be very healthy…I’m home and trying to relax and get ready to get back to work. My biggest problem is I always want to be working, going non-stop. So it’s a wakeup call to take a little time and relax a bit.”

We wish him only the best.
