Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds sought emergency medical care on Thursday after experiencing chest pain, her office said in a press release.

Reynolds, 59, was seen by a physician and had blood tests, chest x-rays, and an electrocardiogram test. All of the tests were normal, according to her office. Reynolds went to the emergency out of an “abundance of caution.”

Reynolds has since been released from the hospital and is “back working at the Capitol,” according to the press release.
