Sidhu recovering well

October 08, 2015 13:35

BJP leader and former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is undergoing treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis, is making steady recovery, doctors at a Delhi hospital said today.

"He is being treated by our team of experts and is making steady recovery," said a statement issued by Indraprastha Apollo Hospital authorities.

They said no surgery or intervention is being planned for now and that Sidhu is medically stable.

51-year-old Sidhu was admitted to the hospital with acute deep vein thrombosis, a life threatening condition if not treated in time.

DVT is caused by a blood clot in a deep vein which hinders the normal blood flow. The symptoms may include swelling, pain, and tenderness, often in the legs.
