Bob Barker, the former host of the long-running “The Price is Right” game show, said he was fine after collapsing at a shooting range in Los Angeles last week.
“My healthy young body has bounced back,” Barker, 86, told Access Hollywood on Monday.
Barker, a long-time animal rights activist and vegetarian, added that there was a combination of things that caused him to faint.
“Not enough water and it was awfully hot and I have a little hypertension.” Barker added. “I take medicine for it and I was possibly taking too much and got my blood pressure too low.”
In 2002, Barker had a mild stroke and had to have surgery to remove an enlarged prostate weeks after. He’s also suffered from a few bouts of mild skin cancer.
In 2007, Barker retired from hosing the Price game show after 35 years. Drew Carey replaced him and is the current host of the program.
