Mubarak ‘not in coma’

HOSNI Mubarak’s lead doctor denied yesterday that the ousted Egyptian president had suffered a stroke or was in a coma, as Mubarak’s lawyer claimed.

Doctor Assem Azzam said the 83-year-old Mubarak had only suffered a bout of low blood pressure and was in stable condition.

“I checked on him. He is in stable condition. What happened is he got a little dizzy because his blood pressure was low. The doctors are dealing with that,” said Azzam. “It is only hypotension, not a coma.”
