Ramdev's condition improving: doctors

The health condition of yoga guru Ramdev, who was admitted to a hospital here yesterday, is improving and he is being treated in a VIP ward, doctors attending on him said today.

Ramdev, who was admitted to the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences last evening after his condition deteriorated on the seventh day of his fast against corruption, was administered saline and glucose.

"Ramdev's blood pressure and pulse rate went down last night. But, they have been brought under control. He is stable," Dr Deepak Goel, part of the medical team that is monitoring Ramdev's health, told reporters.

He said Ramdev "was weak and has some problems in sitting and speaking."

A medical bulletin issued by the hospital said the pulse rate and blood pressure were stabilising slowly and there was an improvement in the health condition of Ramdev.
