As of early Friday afternoon, Democratic Sen. Katie Muth was still a patient in UPMC Somerset Hospital but said she expected to be released later in the day. Muth, who admitted feeling tired on Friday afternoon from not getting any sleep from all the tests and scans she underwent, said she was cleared of any serious medical problem but was told her potassium levels were low.
The senator said she had experienced a headache on Wednesday while she was in Beaver County, located near the site of the train derailment, and didn’t feel well during the hearing but “I sucked it up.” Then when driving back from the hearing, she stopped at a rest area along the Pennsylvania Turnpike and said she felt like she was in fog and lightheaded.Her mom died at age 38 in 1995 from a brain aneurysm. Muth also said she has had COVID-19 twice. Given how she was feeling and with that health history, she was concerned about getting back behind the wheel. She called her husband who called for an ambulance to transport her to the hospital.
