Actress Mariska Hargitay has been admitted to a New York hospital complaining of chest pains, just two months after she suffered a collapsed lung.

The Law & Order: SVU star began experiencing pain on the set of the show on Tuesday (03Mar09) and was taken to hospital after filming finished, reports TMZ.com.

Hargitay, 45, only returned to work in January (09) after she was hospitalised with a collapsed lung, caused by a sledge-riding accident.

The actress joined Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 1999 as Det. Olivia Benson, a role for which she has picked up an Emmy and Golden globe, and she has gone on to become one of the highest paid television actresses.

Hargitay gave birth to her first child Miklos in August with actor and writer husband Peter Hermann.
