United States: The lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania and a Democratic candidate, John Fetterman, has been admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke.
Fetterman confirmed about the issue he faced on Sunday, and he says he is recovering from it.
The 52-year-old was getting the treatment at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital.
Along with this, on Twitter, Mr Fetterman mentioned in the statement, “On Friday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t want to go – I didn’t think I had to – but Gisele insisted, and as usual, she was right. I hadn’t been feeling well but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going. On Friday, it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long. Fortunately, Gisele spotted the symptoms and got me to the hospital within minutes.”
Further, he stated, “The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke, they got my heart under control as well. It’s a good reminder to listen to your body and be aware of the signs. The good news is I’m feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn’t suffer any cognitive damage. I’m well on my way to a full recovery.”
The US Senate candidate added, “So I have a lot to be thankful for,” who, according to polling, looks poised to capture his party’s nomination on Tuesday.
“There’s so much at stake in this race, and I’m going to be ready for the hard fight ahead. But our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday and flip this Senate seat in November. Thanks for all the support, and please get out there and vote,” said Mr Fetterman.
