Former The Price is Right host Bob Barker tells Access Hollywood that he’s just fine after experiencing after fainting at a Los Angeles area shooting range.“My healthy young body has bounced back,” the 86-year-old said. “It’s no big deal and I’m in top notch condition again.”
Barker fainted on Thursday while shooting at a gun range and attributes the bad health spell to hypertension and dehydration.
“Not enough water and it was awfully hot and I have a little
hypertension.” Barker said. “I take medicine for it and I was possibly
taking too much and got my blood pressure too low.”
This incident follows a few health problems for the television legend. In May 2002 Barker suffered a mild stroke and had surgery to remove an enlarged prostate six weeks later.
Barker, a longtime animal rights activist, retired from hosting The Price is Right after 35 years in June 2007.
