Pervez Musharraf suffering from nine medical conditions: Report

ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf is suffering from nine medical conditions, a media report said today.

Citing a medical report submitted to the special court that is conducting Musharraf's trial for high treason, Geo News reported that the 70-year-old former military strongman was suffering from calcium deposits in his coronary artery, mental stress, frozen shoulder, excess cholesterol in the bloodstream, prostrate enlargement, and spinal and bone pain.

Earlier today, the special court exempted Musharraf from appearing in person for two days after his medical report was submitted in a sealed envelope.

The judges had yesterday sought the report from the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology, where Musharraf was admitted on January 2 after he suffered heart problems while being taken to court.
