Wines was substituted out of Port Adelaide's one-point win against Hawthorn on Sunday with a recurrence of a heart problem.
The Power star sometimes experiences a condition where, in layman's terms, his heart is out of rhythm.
The 2021 Brownlow winner sank to his haunches when nearing a passage of play late in the first quarter against the Hawks and then slowly made his way to the interchange bench.
Wines also experienced heart palpitations during a game against Melbourne in April 2020. He was also subbed out of that game and sent to hospital, where a heart irregularity was diagnosed.

On Sunday, Wines remained at Adelaide Oval and his coach Ken Hinkley said the star midfielder recovered from the episode by post-game.
"Ollie has dealt with this condition for a while now," Hinkley said.
"It's an issue in-game when it happens because you have to treat him and to do that you have to take him out of the game.
"Ollie is actually well. It's not something that he can't handle."
Wines has medication for the issue and knows, when it flares, he must remain calm and reduce his heart-rate.
"He's had it happen twice now in games, it's happened before at training," Hinkley said.
"And he's really comfortable, he's really calm about it.
"You can imagine when something like that is going on it can be a little bit rattling.
"But he's experienced it now, he knows exactly what happens ... we expect Ollie will play next week."
Wines self-diagnosed his problem with about 80 seconds remaining in the first quarter against the Hawks.
"He said my heart's out of rhythm, basically," Hinkley said.
"He came off with his own accord ... more importantly than anything else, Ollie is really comfortable with it.
"He knows what's going on and he knows how to treat it and he doesn't get any more stressed than he needs to."
