Liev Schreiber<\/strong><\/a> has been hospitalized in New York City.<\/p>\n

Schreiber, 58, was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, November 16, after suffering from a massive headache and alerting his doctor, TMZ<\/a> reported. Schreiber, who was able to fully speak, walk, and use his limbs, was instructed to go to the hospital, per the outlet. He underwent several tests and remained there overnight. It\u2019s unclear what occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, Liev went into the hospital for testing and as of this afternoon, he has been cleared to return to work,\u201d his representative later told People <\/a>in a Monday, November 17, statement.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Schreiber has suffered from a scary headache. Last year, Schreiber opened up about experiencing severe head pain that led to him having amnesia during a performance of the Broadway play Doubt: A Parable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do the first six or seven lines of the play, sort of automatically. I realized I\u2019m not connected, so I decide, \u2018Let me try to get connected again,\u2019\u201d he recalled during an April 2024 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/a>. \u201cAnd the minute I do that, it all vanishes. The play is gone from my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schreiber explained he knew he was in a play, but could not remember which production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look down at my clothes and I realize I\u2019m a priest, which is helpful but not giving me any lines,\u201d he reflected. \u201cI come off stage, they are all very worried about me, I can see. They rush me to my dressing room. The next thing I remember is hearing my understudy doing the lines from the play and thinking, \u2018It sounds really good. I wish I knew what it was.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

While backstage, Schreiber\u2019s doctor and wife Taylor Neisen<\/strong><\/a> arrived to see him. The actor recalled both of them looking \u201cterrified,\u201d leading him to believe he suffered a stroke.<\/p>\n

Luckily, that wasn\u2019t the case. \u201cI go get the MRI, no brain bleed. Perfectly fine,\u201d Schreiber said while joking that the professional who conducted the MRI told him he had a \u201cfairly good looking brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The neurologist instead told Schreiber that he had transient global amnesia. According to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, transient global amnesia is an episode of confusion that comes on suddenly in a person who is otherwise alert. It is not caused by neurological conditions, like epilepsy or stroke. The condition typically affects middle-aged or older people.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently my wife looked it up online, it\u2019s brought on by migraines and rigorous coitus,\u201d Schreiber recalled. \u201cMy wife then asked me what coitus is \u2026 and I said, \u2018Honey, that\u2019s sex and so it\u2019s, like, rough sex. And she said, \u2018Oh, you were having rough sex?\u2019 And I said, \u2018No, no, no, I had a headache.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBrooke Shields is now feeling \u201cvery [liberated]\u201d following her recent health scare. \u201cI had a full-blown grand mal seizure on Thursday before [my solo] show [in New York City]. Nobody knows about it,\u201d Shields, 58, told Glamour in her November cover story, which was published on Wednesday, November 1. Shields recalled that she was busy [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

After getting checked out by the medical team, Schreiber was told that the condition would be gone \u201cin eight to 24 hours\u201d which he \u201cdidn\u2019t believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a typical Jewish hypochondriac person, I\u2019m convinced I had a stroke and they just didn\u2019t find it,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI go home, I\u2019m having paranoid episodes about our guests who are in the house. I just figured I\u2019d better go to sleep because I\u2019m going to say something dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he woke up the next day, Schreiber remembered everything he had forgotten from the previous day and wanted to go right back to work. However, his doctor advised him to rest a little bit longer.<\/p>\n
