Schwarzenegger was back at work Wednesday after being taken to the hospital the night before with what a spokeswoman said was a rapid heartbeat.

The Austrian Oak was released from the University of California, Davis, Medical Center after several hours when doctors determined his heart was functionally normally, his office said.

"He's feeling fine and working," spokesman Margita Thompson said in a statement.

Schwarzenegger, 58, had heart surgery in 1997 to repair a congenital valve problem. An occasional rapid heartbeat is common after that sort of operation, his office said.

Thompson said the governor experienced the rapid heartbeat Tuesday after coming down with the stomach flu. He was taken to the hospital about midnight after his personal doctor recommended he have the symptoms checked.

The governor resumed a normal schedule, appearing in good health as he met with top advisers in his office.

Keep pumping Arnold! Sounds like you are doing fine and we can expect you back in movies in no time! You'll be back!
