Hospital discharge for Bolsonaro, back to house arrest following overnight stay

On Tuesday, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was urgently hospitalized at Hospital DF Star in Brasília. The hospitalization was due to a combination of several symptoms, including vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, and presyncope (a feeling of fainting).

Bolsonaro, who was convicted for attempting a coup d'état, has been in the hospital ever since. His current condition, however, is not specified beyond the mentioned symptoms.

Upon admission, Bolsonaro was treated for anemia, kidney impairment, and the aftereffects of a 2018 stabbing attack. The hospitalization marks a concerning turn of events for the former president, who has been vocal in his political activism since leaving office.

This is not the first time Bolsonaro has faced health issues. In 2018, he was stabbed during a campaign event, an incident that nearly took his life. Since then, he has undergone several surgeries and hospitalizations, raising questions about his health and ability to lead.

As of now, the former president's health status remains uncertain. The Brazilian people and the global community are closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a speedy recovery for Bolsonaro.

This is a developing story and more updates will follow as information becomes available.
