“THAT WAS A BIG SCARY BCUZ A DR MISDIAGNOSIS ME AND THEN SOMEONE 1 ON THE MEDICAL STAFF SENT THAT MISDIAGNOSIS 2 THE MEDIA IN REAL TIME, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF A PRELIMINARY BLOOD TEST!” he added.

“WHERE IT WAS WAY POISONING ONLY THANK GOD,” explained the actor, 54, “Would be OK. NOW BACK 2 ROCK N ROLL….”

The “Goonies” star was rushed to the hospital after his flight from Chicago to Los Angeles landed at LAX on Monday afternoon, the first reported by TMZ.

A source close to Feldman told the outlet that the ’80s teen star felt sick on the flight and was checked out by a fellow passenger who happened to be a doctor.

Feldman had been in Chicago for an anniversary celebration for the movie “Stand By Me,” which co-stars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton also attended Sunday.

Late that night, Feldman shared a carousel of photos and videos to Instagram, where he drove to Chicago for the event. He stopped by Michael Jackson’s childhood home in Gary, Indiana, for an impromptu visit to “pay his respects” to the late singer.

As for the new tune he’s working on, Feldman will release a new single titled “What Am I Here 4” on June 22. His new social media post appears to be a sneak preview for fans.

He said in his video: “I don’t even know what it’s called yet, it’s so brand new. But I like it, we like it, we all dig it, it’s pretty damn cool, I think you’re going to dig it too.”
