Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has been hospitalized and is “doing well” after a fall in which he hit his head and got “minor injuries,” his office announced on Thursday.

A spokesperson said in a statement posted to Fetterman’s social media that the senator had chosen to stay at a Pittsburgh hospital “so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen” and receive “routine observation.” The incident occurred during a morning walk in which he got light headed.

“If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!” Fetterman said in the statement.
