In a surprising turn of events, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been hospitalized due to acute health issues. The judicial authorities, citing severe hiccups, vomiting, and low blood pressure as reasons, ordered his transfer from house arrest to a general hospital, where he spent a night under medical observation.

The health crisis began when Bolsonaro was diagnosed with skin cancer. Two skin lesions removed during surgery were found to be cancerous. The diagnosed cancer is not the mildest nor the most aggressive form, requiring regular medical monitoring, according to Dr. Claudio Birolini.

Adding to his health woes, Bolsonaro was recently found to have residual signs of a lung infection. This revelation came after he was hospitalized again on Tuesday, due to nausea, dizziness, and low blood pressure.

Despite these setbacks, Bolsonaro was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, marking a temporary end to his hospital stay. The former president has been a polarising figure in Brazilian politics, and his health issues have sparked widespread concern and sympathy among the population.

As Bolsonaro continues his medical journey, the nation waits with bated breath, hoping for his swift and full recovery. His health status remains a significant topic of discussion, and updates are closely monitored by both the Brazilian public and the international community.
