ADVERTISEMENT The 54-year-old conservative president's wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy raced to his side on the back of a police motorbike after he felt faint while running in the wooded park around the Versailles Palace, a witness said. "The president was taken by helicopter to the Val de Grace military hospital where he has been undergoing tests since 1:45 pm (1145 GMT)," the French presidency said in a statement. "The clinical examination and additional neurological tests are normal. Cardiological monitoring, as is normal in these circumstances, will continue until tomorrow morning," it added, promising an update on Monday. The president's chief of staff, Claude Gueant, told AFP that Sarkozy was "doing well and talking normally to medical staff". A presidential aide told AFP that Sarkozy had a problem related to his vagus nerve -- which helps the body regulate its heart rate -- but that doctors considered the problem "minor". A condition known as vasovagal syncope can reduce the heart rate and blood pressure -- particularly if the victim is dehydrated. Patients can faint but normally make a complete recovery, medical experts said. Sarkozy's office said there were no plans to cancel Sarkozy's visit on Tuesday to the Mont Saint Michel abbey in Normandy. "He's fine. He's hungry. He's complaining. Everything's going well," lawmaker and Sarkozy ally Patrick Balkany told RTL radio after talking to Gueant and Bruni, confirming that the problem was a vasovagal episode. "Carla reassured us straight away ... it's a passing thing. The president is going to have to take more care, work a little less hard and eat a little bit more," he added, blaming a diet he said Sarkozy was on to lose weight. "Recently the president has looked very honed, he looks more like a Tour de France rider than a president," he joked. Sarkozy was jogging as the sun-drenched French capital sweltered in high humidity and temperatures of up to 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit). A witness, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP she saw a runner surrounded by bodyguards stumble and collapse in the grounds of La Lanterne, the presidential weekend home near Versailles Palace. According to the Elysee, Sarkozy's doctor was with the running party and was able to attend to him immediately. "The malaise, which did not involve a loss of consciousness, followed 45 minutes of intense exercise," it said. Bodyguards kept onlookers away and laid the man behind a tree and Sarkozy's wife arrived on the police motorbike, the witness said. Two helicopters landed nearby. One of them took off again at about 1:30 pm (1130 GMT). Sarkozy is being treated at Val de Grace hospital, a short flight away in Paris, which traditionally treats state leaders. Prime Minister Francois Fillon's office said that he had cut short a weekend break in the countryside and was returning to Paris. Sarkozy, who assumed the presidency in May 2007, is a fitness enthusiast, and is often seen jogging or cycling with aides and bodyguards. Just over three weeks ago, the Elysee Palace released the findings of Sarkozy's latest annual health check-up, describing the results of recent blood and heart tests as "normal". No further details were provided. During his election campaign, Sarkozy pledged to publish regular health bulletins. So far the Elysee has published one full report, five days after the president was sworn in, saying he was fit to hold office. Sarkozy was briefly hospitalised in October 2007 for minor throat surgery. The presidency never officially reported the operation, but it was confirmed by aides in January 2008. His office said afterwards that the Elysee would publish health bulletins on a yearly basis, but none was released in 2008. Secrecy has long surrounded the health of French leaders, with former Socialist president Francois Mitterrand able to hide for 11 years the fact that he had prostate cancer, diagnosed soon after his election in 1981. He died in 1996, less than eight months after leaving office. Sarkozy was elected in May 2007 on a pledge to shake up France's economy and soon won a nickname as the "hyper president" for his aggressive style of governance and constant string of media appearances. In his personal life, he is known for a whirlwind romance with Italian-born model-turned-singer Bruni. The two married in February 2008, three months after his divorce from second wife Cecilia Ciganer-Albaniz.
