From the Tennessean:
State House Speaker Kent Williams says his shocking collapse during session was a result of low blood sugar.
He was presiding over a session of the House on Thursday when he slumped against the lectern and then fell to the floor. House members with emergency training tended to Williams, an independent from Elizabethton.
He was able to get up minutes later and walk out of the chamber.
Williams, who appeared to have a bruised area on the side of his head, told an Associated Press reporter that he suffers from low blood sugar and that he didn’t eat breakfast.
