St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew is in South Florida following a health scare over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Drew, 49, confirmed his whereabouts in a video message, telling citizens of his eastern Caribbean island-nation that he and his wife traveled to the Miami-area \u201con the advice of medical specialists in St. Kitts and Nevis as well as specialists in Martinique so that further investigations\u201d could be carried out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this stage there is nothing alarming to report,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the doctors are continuing their investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Drew, a physician who studied in Cuba, experienced persistent nausea that soon turned into episodes of vomiting. He also noticed a distinct pain on the left side of his neck accompanied by a mild headache and dizziness, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the day progressed I began feeling unsteady on my feet, and had difficulty with my balance and walking,\u201d said Drew. \u201cI understood that these were symptoms that should not be ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drew was admitted to the Joseph N. France General Hospital in St. Kitts for observation and clinical evaluation. He was then flown to Martinique. It was later recommended that he be transported abroad for specialized observation and precautionary monitoring. In his message, Drew thanked a number of foreign governments, including Dominica, France and the U.S. embassy, which worked quickly to get him into the U.S. amid a storm system that created delays.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis experience has been a wake-up call for me,\u201d he said. \u201cHealth matters. We must listen when our bodies speak to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
