Lil Wayne was hospitalized this week in L.A. following what  appeared to be multiple seizures … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to  the rapper tell us, Wayne suffered the seizures Tuesday night after shooting a  music video in L.A. and was subsequently taken to Cedars-Sinai  hospital. Weezy was released several hours later, early Wednesday  morning. We’re told he’s doing much better now.

It’s not the  rapper’s first encounter with seizures either — TMZ broke the story … Wayne  suffered two seizureson board separate airplanes last October.

Lil  Wayne later acknowledged he’d been prescribed seizure  medicationby his doc.

Weezy’s rep declined to comment.
