U.S. comic actor Kelsey Grammer has been hospitalized in New York after feeling faint following a recent heart attack.

Publicist Stan Rosenfield says Grammer checked himself into an undisclosed hospital over the weekend as a precaution and his condition is not life-threatening.

The publicist says it's possible Grammer's medication led to his symptoms. At the time, the actor was in town to promote his new film, "Swing Vote."

The "Live with Regis and Kelly" show says the 53-year-old actor canceled his Tuesday morning appearance.

Nearly two months ago, the former "Cheers" and "Frasier" TV series star suffered a mild heart attack in Hawaii, where he lives, while paddle-boating with wife Camilla.
