Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva was diagnosed with mazeitis on Monday after suffering from dizziness, hospital officials said.
The 79-year-old left-wing leaders have already returned to the presidential residence of the country where he is resting.
In a statement, Sirio-Libanes Hospital said Lula had undergone imaging and blood tests, with the results being within normal limits. Mazeitis is inflammation of the maze of the inner ear, responsible for hearing and balance.
The fear of health adds to Lula’s recent medical concerns. This is also part of the concerns of his allies ahead of the possibility of a bid for reelection next year.
The most serious was a fall in a toilet in the presidential residence of Brasilia on October 19th.
Almost two months later, he was transferred to Sao Paulo for surgery after suffering a headache caused by a new bleeding in his head.
He was discharged from the hospital on December 15th.
