She was in the hospital for about five to undergo check-ups and was later discharged, PTI said. \"She had cough ... she had headache. She took medicines after which she felt uneasiness in Parliament, that is why she was here,\" a doctor at the hospital was quoted as saying The doctor said Gandhi, 67, underwent all tests that were needed and \"we found her normal, and she has left in her own car (after) talking to all the doctors, and thanking all of us.\" PTI said Gandhi could not be present in the Lower House when the bill was passed.
