Actor Azmil Mustapha is in a stable condition despite being unconscious at the coronary care unit of the Putrajaya Hospital here, said his younger brother.
Aziph Mustapha said the doctor treating his eldest brother had informed him that Azmil’s condition remained unchanged after being given medication when he complained of breathing difficulties at about 4pm Thursday.
“As a result of his weak heart, the doctor gave him medication so that my brother could sleep. He is now on life support.
“The doctor also informed that my brother is not ready to have his medication reduced,” he said when met by The Star at the Putrajaya Hospital lobby Friday.
Aziph said in 2010, Azmil, 62, underwent a coronary bypass surgery in Syria and since then, he had been going for routine periodic checks at the Putrajaya Hospital.
He also thanked his brother’s fans for their prayers and words of encouragement, and hoped that everyone would continue to pray for Azmil’s health.
IMeanwhile, in a telephone interview with his eldest daughter, Nur Syamira today, she told the New Straits Times that her father, who was admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) of Putrajaya Hospital yesterday has yet to regain consciousness.
The actor was rushed to the hospital at around 4pm after complaining of chest pain.
“Since yesterday, he hasn’t made any progress and is still on life support,” she said, adding that she is still waiting for updates on her father’s condition from the doctors.
