( CNN ) French striker Bafetimbi Gomis , who has a history of fainting , said he is now `` feeling well '' after collapsing during Swansea 's 3-2 loss at Tottenham in the Premier League on Wednesday . The worrying incident occurred in the first half at White Hart Lane -- after Tottenham scored in the seventh minute -- but the 29-year-old left the pitch conscious following about five minutes of treatment . The Guardian added that he was wearing an oxygen mask . Play was temporarily stopped before resuming . As the match progressed , Swansea tweeted that Gomis was `` fine , '' with manager Garry Monk using the same word to describe Gomis ' condition . Gomis spent the night in hospital as a precaution , Swansea said on its website . `` I wanted to reassure you concerning my health , '' Gomis told the website . `` It actually looks much scarier than it is physically dangerous , and I am feeling well now . `` I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father 's health , which requires me to go back and forth from France . `` I was disappointed that I could n't help my team tonight , but now everything is back in order . I also want to thank everyone for their support and get well messages . '' Gomis had similar fainting spells in France , which prompted the president of his former club , Jean-Michel Aulas of Lyon , to tell French television in 2009 : `` We ca n't not be worried , it scares you each time . '' Swansea ran tests on Gomis , said Monk , prior to signing him on a free transfer last July . `` He just has a little bit of low blood pressure which causes you a little bit of problems , '' Monk said in a televised interview on Sky . `` It 's been part of his life . We were well aware of that when we signed him . He 's done all the hospital checks and all the medical checks you can possibly do and it 's just part of his life . `` It 's no problems whatsoever . It 's not as serious as it looks . '' Gomis has scored two league goals for Swansea this season , mostly in a backup role . He became the Welsh side 's top striker when Wilfried Bony signed with Manchester City in January . Almost exactly three years ago at White Hart Lane , then Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest . He was near death , according to Bolton , but survived after being treated at the London Chest Hospital . He subsequently retired . Other footballers , including Cameroon international Marc-Vivien Foe in 2003 and Spanish international Antonio Puerta in 2007 , did n't survive after collapsing on the pitch .
