Perennial Father of the Year candidate Michael Lohan was taken to a Massachusetts hospital after a medical scare last night, but he was later released.

The reason for his trip there is somewhat unclear.

Lohan experienced chest pains s he was preparing for a celebrity boxing match. He was examined by doctors, but didn't stay the night and was let go.

His girlfriend, Kate Major (yup, former Jon Gosselin play thing) says wants to be checked out by a cardiologist later this week back home in New York.

Who knew Michael Lohan even HAD a heart? Snap! Sorry, that was low.

Major says the father of Lindsay Lohan has been very conscious of his health, watching what he eats and exercising, but has had heart attacks before.

In all seriousness, we hope he recovers fully and swiftly.

As a result of the incident, Lohan was replaced in his celebrity boxing bout last night, and the replacement won against Todd Poulton, whoever that is.
