Per NBC News:

A source close to Clinton, the 42nd president, said the situation is “not urgent.”

“The former president will be fine,” the source said. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”

Clinton has faced a number of health scares since he left office in 2001.

He underwent a quadruple bypass operation at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 2004 and returned to the same hospital for another heart procedure in 2010, when two stents were inserted into a coronary artery.
