As we exclusively reported Saturday night, Michael and Kate were in Massachusetts where Michael was scheduled to fight in a Celebrity Boxing Match.  After failing his pre-fight physical, Lohan began experiencing intense "pins and needles" in his left arm and EMTs decided to rush him to the hospital.  His blood pressure was measured at 170/124.

"I've got either a blood clot or a blockage," a weak-sounding Lohan said Sunday.  "They told me, 'This is a stroke waiting to happen'.  What's crazy is that the day before we left, I had my Nitro in the little pocket of my jeans and Kate was doing laundry and washed the jeans, and I lost it.  Thank God when this incident happened last night, there was a man standing nearby who had Nitro on him."

Michael also revealed that his medical emergency was no surprise.

"They wanted to put stents in my heart three years ago, but I never did anything about it," he said.  "Last night at the hospital they wanted to do it right there but my cardiologist in New York said is was too invasive.  I used to be on medication for this problem.  I never told anyone.  And then I stopped taking it, frankly because it made me gain weight and I'm such an a**h*** about being in shape and exercising."
