RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das Admitted to Hospital Due to Acidity

Chennai, December [Date] - The 67-year-old Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Shaktikanta Das, has been admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai due to a medical condition called acidity. According to reports, he was hospitalized overnight and is currently receiving observation and treatment.

The RBI spokesperson confirmed that Governor Das experienced acidity and was admitted for observation. "There is no cause for concern," the spokesperson said, adding that the Governor is now doing fine and will be discharged in the next 2-3 hours.

Acidity, also known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, nausea, and bloating. While mild acidity is usually harmless, recurrent or severe attacks can lead to hospitalization if complications such as severe chest pain, dysphagia, or persistent vomiting occur.

According to medical experts, mild acidity is often managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications, but severe or chronic cases may require hospitalization. Chest pain associated with acidity is commonly described as a burning sensation in the chest, which can worsen when lying down and improve with antacids or upright positions.

Early medical consultation and lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods, stress management, and proper weight are crucial to prevent complications and reduce hospital visits. The RBI has assured that there is no cause for concern regarding Governor Das's health, and he will be discharged soon.

It remains to be seen how long the Governor will require hospitalization and what measures have been taken to ensure his speedy recovery.
