(St. Paul, MN) -- A Minnesota State Representative is revealing she had a minor stroke over the weekend.

In a statement, Debra Kiel said she was hospitalized on Friday after feeling dizzy and fatigued at the State Office Building.

The Republican thanked the neurology team at Regions Hospital in St. Paul for "their excellent care and quick work" that likely saved her from suffering any long-term effects of the stroke.

She'll have a few more tests over the next few days.
