The news about his health is reassuring Chris Singleton.
According to the Ephesus doctor, the American forward did not suffer a heart attack, but was diagnosed with pericarditis. Already, the former NBAer has started treatment, to which he is responding well and will continue it for the next 2-3 weeks.
Yes, as Singleton makes clear after one month he will be able to return to competitive action normally.
What the Ephesus doctor said in detail:
“From Wednesday (3/5) we host the patient at our hospital. At first, he felt a pain in his chest. Initially, we submitted the patient to angiography, which did not show any cardiovascular occlusion. So, the patient did not have a heart attack.
The rest of the tests showed his condition. Then, we diagnosed the patient as having pericarditis. What is pericarditis? Pericarditis is an inflammation of the heart. It is a temporary condition, usually caused by an infection. Patients usually recover in 2-3 weeks. Sometimes the process can take 1-2 months, but usually it’s in 2-3 weeks. The same will be true for Chris.
We started treatment right away and his body is doing great so far. He will rest for 1-2 weeks, but it will take him about a month to return to the field. All this time we will be watching him closely. After a month, he will normally be able to return to his sports life and continue his basketball career».
