PARIS, July 29 (UPI) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Wednesday he's fit as a fiddle and ready to govern after his emergency trip to the hospital last weekend.
Sarkozy, 54, was released from a hospital Monday, after doctors said a combination of heat and too much work caused him to feel unwell while jogging, CNN reported.
"I would like to say to the people of France that my health is good," Sarkozy said.
Doctors said blood tests, a brain scan and an electrocardiogram detected nothing unusual. While not prescribing a medical treatment, physicians recommended Sarkozy rest for several days.
"What happened to me can happen to anyone," he told reporters after a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, the first time he spoke to journalists since his collapse Sunday. "I do not drink, I do not smoke cigarettes. I just smoke a cigar once in a while."
Sarkozy said he and his wife Carla Bruni "are not going to change our habits."
