Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman said his recent health scare was a consequence of a broken heart.
“It feels much better now. And I’m going through some psychological things right now, too, so that doesn’t help,” he told FOX31 in an interview published on Wednesday. “I think, basically, I had a broken heart. And of course, it’s going to heal.”
According to People, he was hospitalized for a heart issue earlier this week after he was feeling pain in his chest. Per the magazine, he returned home on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the reality TV star recalled the scare, explaining that he "couldn't breathe." "It was like I had ran a three- or four-mile run," he told FOX31.

"There's something haywire or it's psychologically. I don't know," Chapman -- who noted he's not sure what caused the episode -- added. "I guess things happen like that. I've never ... I don't do drugs."
He said he has more tests scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
