Panaji: The condition of Goa's Deputy Speaker Vishnu Wagh, who was admitted to hospital two days ago following complaint of uneasiness, is stable, a senior official said today.


"His condition remains stable. He was on sedation all this while. The doctors will now try to get him off sedation and see his response," Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Dean Pradeep Naik told PTI today.


Wagh was hospitalised in GMCH on August 15 evening when he complained of uneasiness during an event at Kala Academy here.


Initially, it was suspected to be a case of cardiac arrest, but upon detailed examination no blockage was found in the heart, Naik had earlier said.

However, his blood pressure and sugar levels remained high, he had said.

Wagh, a journalist-turned-politician representing St Andre constituency, is currently admitted in the Coronary Care Unit of the GMCH, a state-run facility located in Bambolim village near here.

The legislator had suffered a heart attack on May 15 this year when he was attending a public function to celebrate the birthday of BJP functionary Anil Hoble. He had later undergone angioplasty and had recovered.
