Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen tweeted he is feeling better but "but will follow doctors' orders."
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was hospitalized this weekend after suffering a minor stroke, he said Sunday.
He was admitted to George Washington University Hospital after experiencing lightheadedness and acute neck pain while delivering a speech in western Maryland, the senator said in a statement.
An angiogram Sunday indicated he had "experienced a minor stroke in the form of a small venous tear at the back of my head," Van Hollen said, adding that he has been told there are no "long-term effects or damage as a result of this incident."
His doctors advised him to remain under observation for a few days, out of an abundance of caution, the senator said.
