KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed was diagnosed with lung congestion associated with a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and chest infection (basal bronchitis) by the attending consultant cardiologist Datuk Dr Nasir Muda on Thursday.
The former Prime Minister was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) on Tuesday after having breathing difficulties while in Langkawi.
His son Datuk Mokhazani Mahathir said that Dr Mahathir was still not talking much, but his appetite has continued to grow and he had asked for "Maggie Tom Yam" instant noodles for lunch.
A statement released by IJN said that Dr Mahathir’s medication has been tapered down as he continued to show positive response to chest physiotherapy and light exercise.
He will remain at the cardiac care unit for continuous monitoring and treatment.
Visitors are only allowed in the waiting area but doctors have advised him against receiving anyone apart from close family members.
