Bolsonaro hospitalized after 10 days of hiccups
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized on Wednesday for an unusual reason, but one that can have very serious causes: chronic hiccups.
Reuters reports that the leader who had a rapid Trump-like populist rise to power in 2018 is being watched "to identify the cause of chronic hiccups, the president's office said, in the latest health alert for the Brazilian leader who he was stabbed in the intestine during the election campaign in 2018 ”.
He is hospitalized in a military hospital in Brasilia, during or after which he will likely be under examination and examination by doctors for between 24 and 48 hours. Hiccups have been observed for over a week, something he himself has been expressing concern over the past few days as press interviews became embarrassing due to the persistent problem.
"I've had hiccups for a week, maybe I can't express myself well in this life," Bolsonaro noted during a live broadcast last Thursday, local media reported.
On Tuesday night, he said they were continuing, noting it felt like a health crisis: “Guys, I'm speechless, folks. If I start talking a lot, the hiccups come back. The hiccups have already returned, ”supporters said.
Brazilian media Globo described he was initially hospitalized for "unspecified medical tests" due to mysterious abdominal pain in the early hours of Wednesday morning, possibly related to out-of-control hiccups. Globo quoted a press release from the president's office, which said in part:
On medical advice, the president will be under observation for a period of 24-48 hours, not necessarily in the hospital. He feels good and is fine.
And Bloomberg noted: "Bolsonaro's office confirmed that his entire agenda was canceled, including his visit to the Supreme Court where he would meet with top judge Luiz Fux, House Speaker Arthur Lira and Senate Speaker Rodrigo. Pacheco ".
It could probably be an obstruction related to the attack, so not really something that can be ignored.
