Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized for low blood pressure and fatigue.
Spokesman for Bush, Jim McGrath, tweeted just after 2pm. Sunday that the 93-year-old will likely remain in the hospital for a few days.
'The former president is awake and alert, and not in any discomfort,' McGrath continued.

The 41st president had been spending the summer at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, when he was struck down with low blood pressure and fatigue
Bush is being treated at Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford. A hospital spokeswoman said Sunday all information would be released by the Bush family.
This is the second time in two months Bush has been admitted to hospital.
He was hospitalized the day after the funeral of his wife of 73 years, Barbara. Bush remained in hospital for 13 days to treat an infection.
Barbara died April 17, just days after the Bush family announced she was in failing health and had decided not to seek further medical treatment.
The former first lady had opted to focus on 'comfort care'.
She had been battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart problems in recent years.
Bush was by his wife's side until the very end and the two were holding hands when she passed away.
She was laid to rest at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.
At her funeral, attended by four former US presidents, Bush broke down in tears as his son Jeb Bush, the former Governor of Florida, read aloud one of the dozens of love letters he wrote to his late wife for a moving eulogy.

The following day he was rushed to intensive care with an infection that had spread to his blood. He was discharged from the hospital on May 4.
The 41st president had been spending the summer at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, when he was struck down with low blood pressure and fatigue on Sunday.
He attended a pancake breakfast Saturday at the local American Legion.
Bush uses a wheelchair and an electric scooter for mobility after developing a former of Parkinson's disease. He has needed hospital treatment several times in recent years for respiratory problems.
A year ago this month, Bush spent two weeks in the hospital for treatment of pneumonia and chronic bronchitis.
Bush was also hospitalized for 16 days in January 2017 for pneumonia. During that hospital stay, which included time in intensive care, doctors inserted a breathing tube and connected him to a ventilator.
He also was hospitalized in 2015 in Maine after falling at home and breaking a bone in his neck, and in December 2014 for about a week for shortness of breath. He spent Christmas 2012 in intensive care for a bronchitis-related cough and other issues.
