Emmy winner was previously sidelined with a collapsed lung

Mariska Hargitay has been hospitalized yet again.

The "Law & Order: SVU" star was rushed to a hospital in New York Tuesday night (March 3) after suffering from chest pains, report celebrity news sites.

"Mariska Hargitay went to the hospital this morning after experiencing some discomfort relating to her earlier lung condition," says the Emmy winner's rep. "She is undergoing routine tests and expects to be feeling better soon. Production will not be affected."

In early January, the 44-year-old was hospitalized for a partially collapsed lung, but returned to work soon after.

Reasons for the condition have not yet been released.
