Karachi : Pakistan’s former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was today rushed to the ICU of a naval hospital here after he developed high blood pressure and fainted. He was admitted to the Pakistan Navy Ship Shifa or PNS Shifa, a multi-speciality naval medical treatment facility.
Sources said Musharraf was sitting with family at his home in Karachi – where he lives with his daughter to seek medical treatment for a spinal condition – when he fainted. He was rushed to the hospital and his situation was monitored. Doctors undertook several medical tests before allowing him to return home. Aasia Ishaq of his All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) party said there was “nothing serious” about Musharraf’s condition. “There is nothing serious with him as it was only high blood pressure. He is getting treatment in hospital,” Ishaq said.
