NEW YORK, NY May 20, 2008 —Paterson's office said in a statement today that he asked to be brought to The Mount Sinai Medical Center for an evaluation.
His office says preliminary tests were normal. It says he is resting comfortably and will undergo further tests.
In April 2006, when he was the state Senate minority leader, Paterson was hospitalized for almost 12 hours after complaining of chest pains. The tests came back normal.
And last July, when he was lieutenant governor, Paterson fainted on an airplane. He was given a clean bill of health after a heart test.
Overall, however, the legally blind Paterson has an athletic reputation - playing recreational basketball and running the New York City Marathon.
