Baba Ramdev's aide Balkrishna admitted to AIIMS
Rishikesh, Aug 23: Yoga guru Ramdev's close aide Balkrishna was on Friday admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences here after he complained of chest pain and giddiness.
Balkrishna, who heads Patanjali Yogpeeth, was first taken to a hospital in Haridwar from where he was referred to AIIMS in Rishikesh, sources in the yoga institute said.
He was admitted in the ICU around 4.15 pm, AIIMS Medical Superintendent Brahmaprakash told reporters.
Balkrishna was admitted in a state of "altered consciousness", a medical condition in which the patient fails to recognise his immediate surroundings.
He was restless, Brahmaprakash said.
"Some tests have been done which show that his vital parameters are normal. A neuro physician and a cardiologist have examined him and he is stable.
"However, some reports are still awaited including the ones on enzymes in the blood stream. He is under the observation of a specialist team. He will be kept at the hospital as of now," Brahmaprakash said.

Saudi Arabia announces first day of Eid-ul-Fitr; Details here
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has announced that Eid-ul-Fitr will be observed on March 20 after the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted.
The moon-sighting committee met and confirmed that the new moon was not visible, leading to the completion of 30 days of Ramzan before the festival. The announcement follows the traditional practice of determining Islamic months based on lunar sighting.
Earlier, the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development had declared that Eid holidays for employees in the private and non-profit sectors would begin from the evening of March 18 and continue for four days, in line with labour regulations.
Ministry spokesperson Mohammed Al Ruzaiqi had said the early announcement was made to help organisations plan work schedules while ensuring employees are able to observe the festival break.
