ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif has undergone a medical examination in Islamabad by a medical team from the PIMS Hospital, ARY NEWS reported on Wednesday.

According to an initial report prepared by the medical team, the 70-year-old PML-N president has complained regarding a headache and weakness.

“The neurosurgeon has determined a swelling in his muscles,” the medical report said while advising against further traveling as it could increase chances of ache in his backbone. The doctors advised Shahbaz Sharif to take complete rest for a week owing to his current medical condition.
