Jair Bolsonaro Improves After Severe Hiccup and Vomiting Episode, No Hospitalization Needed

Doctors attribute the recurring episodes to digestive complications from his 2018 stabbing.

Overview

  • On Monday evening, family members called surgeon Cláudio Birolini to Bolsonaro’s Brasília residence after a bout of intense hiccups with four episodes of vomiting.
  • Carlos Bolsonaro said the episode was the most intense so far and asked followers to pray as the doctor headed to the house to assess his father.
  • After an at‑home evaluation, the medical team reported improvement and said a hospital transfer was unnecessary, and later Carlos stated the crisis had passed.
  • Bolsonaro remains under house arrest after a Supreme Federal Court conviction, and his recent care has included outpatient follow‑up following skin‑lesion removals.
  • Two weeks earlier, he was hospitalized with vomiting, dizziness and low blood pressure, and pathology later identified two skin lesions as squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
