Comedian Louie Anderson is recovering in a hospital following two procedures to correct an unspecified heart problem, his agent said Tuesday.

The heavyset performer, 50, felt ill and admitted himself to an undisclosed Los Angeles-area hospital last week, his longtime agent, Steve Levine of ICM, told The Associated Press.

Levine declined to offer other details or say what kind of medical attention Anderson received but confirmed the ailment was "definitely his heart." However, he added, it wasn't a heart attack.
