A four-member medical board assessed Imran Khan's anxiety level at three-plus, according to reports. The board recommended that Imran undertake a daily one-hour walk to help manage his blood pressure and anxiety levels.
Furthermore, the medical board suggested providing Imran with access to his family, newspapers, television, and books. The board also suggested increasing the frequency of Imran's meetings with his wife.
On August 1, Imran Khan first complained of headaches, anxiety, and fluctuations in his blood pressure. On that same day, August 1, his blood pressure measured 140/100, and his pulse rate was 50 beats per minute.
By August 10, the recorded blood pressure showed 140/80, with a pulse rate of 54 beats per minute. An Adiala jail report submitted to the Supreme Court on August 17 noted that Imran had received 39 medical check-ups from various specialists between November 2023 and August 10, 2026.
The report further stated that treatment for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) had nearly restored normal vision in Imran's affected eye. The Supreme Court issued an order on August 18, directing authorities to transfer Imran to Shifa International Hospital for medical assessment and treatment.
Subsequently, the government moved Imran to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), citing security concerns. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated that the medical team comprised an ophthalmologist, cardiologist, and physician, and declared Imran medically fit before his return to Adiala jail.
