Los Angeles:
The strain of a stressful year might have finally got to Lindsay Lohan's father Michael, who was rushed to hospital following complaints of chest pains.
The 50-year-old business man, who was recently reunited with his estranged daughter during her stint in rehab, was taken to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, California in an ambulance on Monday, reported TMZ.
Michael was at a doctors surgery for a consultation to have his nose reset when he began to suffer the chest pains. The nurse took his blood pressure and was so concerned with the result that she called 911 on the spot.
His blood pressure was reported at 200/100 placing him in the severe category and at risk of heart attack, kidney disease, stroke and death.
The normal rate for a man his age is 120/80 but it is well known that Michael was a smoker and has had issues with alcohol, even being arrested for driving under the influence back in 2005.
Pictures show Michael being wheeled out on a stretcher, shirtless and being put in the back of an ambulance clutching his head and his chest.
