His absence and hospitalization have been speculated on intensely in recent weeks, especially after it was reported that emergency services responded to a case of cardiac arrest at his home. <\/p>\n<p>McConnell, who is a polio survivor, sought to put the speculation over his health to rest. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[L]ast month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital,&#8221; McConnell said in the statement to his constituents. &#8220;My doctors have confirmed that I didn&#8217;t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn&#8217;t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don&#8217;t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The former Senate GOP leader said he also &#8220;had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia&#8221; while in the hospital. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=1043\">Rep.

And on the advice of my doctors, I won&#8217;t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But rest assured that, in the meantime, I&#8217;m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.
