Head of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine Oleksandr Lisitskov has said that former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko did not lose consciousness after taking medicines Jan. 6.
"As far as I know, she did not faint… she felt dizzy after her blood pressure dropped," Lisitskov told reporters on Wednesday.
According to him, on Jan. 6, Tymoshenko was taking shower for about half an hour after which "she felt unwell and asked her inmate to bring a doctor."
"A duty doctor and a nurse came within four minutes. They measured her pulse, and found that her blood pressure was really low. They gave her an injection and offered to use a drip. Then, within five to ten minutes, the pressure stabilized to about 100 to 60," Lisitskov said.
On Jan.10, first deputy head of the Batkivschyna Party Oleksandr Turchynov said that Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was unconscious for over two hours in Kachanivska penal colony in Kharkiv, after she was given unknown medicines.
