"My healthy young body has bounced back," Barker told Access Hollywood on Monday.

He attributed the collapse to a combination of factors, including dehydration and low blood pressure.

"It's no big deal and I'm in top notch condition again," he added.

He even joked that he was ready to celebrate his well-being, telling co-host Billy Bush that he's ready to celebrate with dancing and tequila "any night of the week."

"Not enough water and it was awfully hot and I have a little hypertension," he explained. "I take medicine for it and I was possibly taking too much and got my blood pressure too low."
