Ex-President Jair Bolsonaro senior hospitalized due to feeling unwell
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been admitted to the hospital on Tuesday, facing 'serious complications' as reported by his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The 67-year-old leader, who governed Brazil from 2019 to 2022, has been under medical observation for symptoms including persistent hiccups, vomiting, low blood pressure, dehydration, elevated heart rate, anemia, impaired kidney function, and recently recovered pneumonia. Bolsonaro's hospitalizations have been recurring since his near-fatal stabbing during his 2018 campaign. He has a history of health issues linked to this attack, as well as long-term effects such as digestive problems, recurring inflammation, and skin cancer. In addition to these issues, Bolsonaro underwent a 12-hour operation to repair abdominal damage in April this year. The specific details of the pneumonia and anemia treatments are not provided in the text. Despite the severe health issues, Bolsonaro remains a polarising figure since leaving office. Earlier this month, Brazil's Supreme Court sentenced him to 27 years in prison for plotting to overturn the 2022 election. However, he remains under house arrest. The text does not provide details about the outcome of the 12-hour operation in April, nor does it mention any current treatment for the health issues mentioned in this article.
