Bangalore: Jailed former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa will be in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the state-run Sri Jayadeva hospital here for the next two days as he is suffering from multiple health problems and mental stress, a top doctor said on Sunday.

“Yeddyurappa is kept in ICU for observation and a series of tests to assess his condition and prescribe treatment as he is having high blood pressure, high sugar level and body pains. He is also under severe stress,” Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research director CN Manjunath said.

Within hours after being jailed late Saturday by a trial court in graft cases related to land scams, Yeddyurappa, 68, was shifted to the hospital after he complained of chest pain and back pain in the wee hours of Sunday.

“When Yeddyurappa was brought here around 2 am, he was having chest discomfort and vomiting sensation. Preliminary investigations showed he was stressed out with high blood pressure and high blood sugar as he is diabetic,” Manjunath said.

Manjunath is the son-in-law of former Prime Minister and Janata Dal-Secular president HD Deve Gowda.

Initial tests such as ECG, echo and angiogram revealed that Yeddyurappa’s health parameters were not normal and required treatment, besides full rest. (IANS)
