Former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu was hospitalised in New Delhi due to Deep Vein Thrombosis. However, his condition is stable.
Former India cricketer and opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has been hospitalised in New Delhi after he developed a clot in his vein. However, his condition is reported to be stable.
"Mr Navjot Singh Sidhu was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi today evening with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is a life threatening condition if not treated on time. Mr Sidhu has been put on blood thinners and has been recovering well. His condition is said to be stable as of now," said a statement issued by Indraprastha Apollo Hospital authorities.
DVT is caused by a blood clot in a deep vein which hinders the normal blood flow. The symptoms may include swelling, pain, and tenderness, often in the legs.
However, Sidhu tweeted about his condition and said that all was well.
