A rumor has been floating around that David Spade had a heart attack after collapsing in his gym. But TMZ has learned it is not true -- though Dave isn't exactly in fighting shape, either.
Sources tell TMZ that Spade has been fighting severe bronchitis and a sinus infection over the past week, and was on the road for three gigs during his illness. When he returned to L.A. yesterday, Spade decided to go to the gym to work out, but collapsed after an adverse reaction to antibiotics. He was taken to the hospital and put on an IV, and is now resting at home and on the mend.

We saw his performance in San Jose Sat. night, he truly was sick. Also saw him at lunch beforehand near the Fairmont, give the guy a break, sick as a dog & still working.

WOW!! So many celebrities have these "adverse reactions to antibiotics"!! There must be some pretty dicey antibiotics floating around out there in Hollywood. Maybe thhe should buy their amoxycillan from someone other than a guy in a dark alley.

What kind of adverse reaction do antibiotics cause to make one collapse?
Have seen Spade "workout" at the gym - his workouts are rather minimal
He could use workouts - his rear end is weirdly big wide and lumpy

Glad the guy is ok but the diagnoses of antibiotic reaction sure comes up a lot in Hollywood.
Maybe the FDA should do a study and find out what the problem is.

While I admire his work ethic, someone should remind him that pushing yourself to work out when you're sick is not the brightest move. I have no trouble believing this story. You're meant to rest when you're on antibiotics for infection and just because half of Hollywood lies about this stuff doesn't mean the entire community is guilty.
