The chief minister experienced elevated pressure in his pulmonary artery, which led to irregular blood pressure readings, the doctor said. “Due to an increase in pressure in CM’s pulmonary artery, there was pressure on his heart, leading to irregular blood pressure. Currently, all vitals of the CM are completely stable.” the doctor added.
Mann was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night, and the state government had referred to his stay as a “regular check-up”.
“CM Mann was admitted to a private hospital for regular check-up. Various tests are being conducted to assess the CM’s health. Doctors have found signs of inflammation in an artery of his lungs, which is resulting in pressure on the heart and fluctuations in blood pressure. It needs some more medical investigation and some more blood tests have been done, reports of which are still awaited. In view of this, the doctors have decided to keep Mann under observation for now and will take a call on the basis of the reports on Friday morning,” a detailed official statement by the CM’s office read earlier on Thursday.
