Liev Schreiber has been hospitalised in New York after suffering a health scare

A spokesperson told PEOPLE" "Out of an abundance of caution, Liev went into the hospital for testing and as of this afternoon, he has been cleared to return to work."

Schreiber has suffered from debilitating headaches in the past and previously revealed he feared he was having a stroke when a migraine led to memory problems while he was performing in a Broadway production of Doubt: A Parable.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers in April 2024, the actor explained: "I was in my dressing room and I had a terrible headache.

"I thought it was maybe a fast food headache, but it felt a little stronger than that. I'm walking down the stairs and I'm thinking: 'This is not normal. I don't feel okay'."

Schreiber went on to admit he became even more worried when he forgot his co-star's name and then couldn't remember any of his lines onstage.

He said: "It all vanishes. The play is gone from my head ... I know I'm in a play but I don't know what play I'm in ...

"My doctor, who's a friend, shows up and he had a terrified expression. My wife shows up, she looks terrified. I think: 'Okay, I've had a stroke. This is it'."

Schreiber underwent an MRI scan and he was later diagbosed with transient global amnesia (TGA), which can cause sudden bouts of memory loss and confusion.

He added: "Apparently it's brought on by migraines and rigorous coitus ...

"The guy said: 'You'll never have this again and it'll be gone in 8 to 24 hours', which I didn't believe. You know, as a typical sort of Jewish hypochondriac person, I'm convinced that I had a stroke and they just didn't find it.

[However] I go to sleep, I wake up, I remember the whole play. I never had another problem with it. I was embarrassed and thought everyone would think I was lying and taking a night off from the theatre".
