Adiala SP report flags Imran's blood pressue issues, recommends more family interaction to manage anxiety
Report says his vision is 'almost normal' now
The report submitted by Adiala jail superintendent of police to the Supreme Court on Monday detailed Imran Khan's medical consultations, highlighting concerns over his blood pressure and recommending increased family interaction to alleviate his anxiety. The report came a day before the court was set to hear Khan's plea for treatment at Shifa International Hospital.
In February, a report by Barrister Salman Safdar revealed that Khan's right eye functioned at only 15%. As a result, the SC ordered access to his personal physicians in Adiala Jail. The report's summary revealed that Khan was examined on August 1 by consultant cardiologist Prof Dr Akhtar Ali Bandeshah, who noted uncontrolled blood pressure, palpitations, headache, and restlessness, attributing some symptoms to infrequent family interactions.
The report recommended measures to reduce mental stress, including more frequent meetings with Khan's wife and access to more reading material. On August 10, a four-member medical board examined Khan and recorded his blood pressure at 140/80mmHg and pulse at 54 beats per minute, noting normal ECG and an echocardiogram with slight E-to-A reversal.
The report suggested a one-hour walk, more reading material, and increased interaction with family members to control anxiety and blood pressure. Despite the severe health concerns, Khan's vision had improved significantly, returning to "almost normal."
