Sharad Pawar Was Discharged From Pune Hospital
Earlier on Wednesday, November 4, Pawar was discharged from Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, where he had been admitted on November 2.
The 85-year-old politician was initially hospitalised after complaints of cough and pleuritic chest pain. Doctors examined him and kept him under observation.
Dr Purvez K Grant, chief cardiologist, chairman and managing trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, had earlier said Pawar was admitted for a regular medical check-up as he complained of pleuritic pain.
The doctor said that the veteran leader was kept under medical observation while he underwent the necessary tests.
After he was admitted to the Pune facility Supriya Sule had told supporters that his health parameters were normal and doctors were doing tests.

What Is Pleuritic Chest Pain?
Pleuritic pain is chest pain that becomes more noticeable when breathing, coughing, or sneezing.
It is due to irritation or inflammation of the pleura (the thin membranes surrounding the lungs). But chest pain can have many causes and medical examinations are needed to find out what is causing it.
In Pawar’s case, Ruby Hall Clinic doctors had earlier said he was admitted following complaints of pleuritic pain and was kept under observation.
His subsequent admission to Breach Candy Hospital was reportedly for further tests. No other diagnosis should be assumed without an official medical update.
Political Leaders and Supporters Wish Him a Speedy Recovery
Sharad Pawar is one of Maharashtra’s most prominent political leaders and has been influential in state as well as national politics for many decades.
His hospitalisation news worried supporters and political leaders. His daughter Supriya Sule has been updating people about his health and thanking well-wishers for their wishes.
For now, it is the medical tests at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital that are in focus, and supporters are waiting for further word from the family about the veteran leader’s health.
His family has thanked everyone for their concern and good wishes as he undergoes further medical tests.
