percyEden Prairie, Aug 20, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin suffered a migraine attack on Thursday during the team’s practice session following which the player was immediately rushed to a medical facility. The 22-year-old player who has a long history of migraine bouts, supposedly encountered a severe attack during the practice session of the game on Thursday. The Minnesota Vikings officials have revealed that when Percy Harvin went to the locker room, he was trembling and also vomited before he was taken to a hospital in an ambulance.

While divulging details of the kind of migraine attack suffered by the much-acclaimed wide receiver, Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress told the reporters that he did not have much idea how to classify the attack that the player had to encounter as it was not really a seizure but it was obvious that Percy Harvin was facing some kind of a problem. At the same time, the coach also talked about an incident which took place during the wide receiver’s college career when he had to be rushed to a medical facility after suffering a similar attack. However, it has been reported that Percy Harvin is doing well in the hospital where he was admitted on Thursday and continues to remain alert while resting comfortably.

Thursday’s incident is not the only instance when the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver could not fully participate in the team’s training camp as Percy Harvin has not been able to practice for most of the training session owing to the severe headaches that he suffers from.
