Ellen DeGeneres was caught up in a health scare on Monday after suffering from chest pains during a production meeting on the Warner Bros. lot.
It was reported that the Burbank Fire Department dispatched a crew to the scene just before noon and the 53 year old talk show host was checked out by paramedics.
Feeling fine hours after the medical emergency, the comedienne sent a statement to WENN revealing the problems started at home on Sunday night.
She writes, “I woke up in the middle of the night, I was feeling a tightness of my chest and all the scary things, like something was heavy on my chest and it was a cat so I moved it. I still felt the tightness and heaviness, so there was another cat under that cat. There were two cats on my chest. Then I got to work and it was still happening. I was still feeling the pains. I was like… I should check this out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Who doesn’t want to see a fireman occasionally?
We called the paramedics here on the Warner Bros. lot and about 50 trucks and ambulances, like one marching band short of a parade showed up outside oh my office. Then they came in with an axe. Break the door down. It was open. I don’t know why they did thay. They came in, they asked me all the questions—“How are you feeling? When did it start? Family history..?
But everything is fine. I don’t know what it is but its fine. I want to say thank you to all the paramedics and the nurses who showed up.”
The show biz star never loses her sense of humor. Glad she’s okay.
