CHICAGO -- Mayor Richard M. Daley remained hospitalized Sunday and was undergoing more tests after complaining of chest pain.
Doctors said the 57-year-old mayor's blood pressure returned to normal soon after he was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital from his home Saturday afternoon.Daley still must undergo tests to ensure his arteries aren't blocked and to find out why he felt ill, doctors said. The tests were expected to keep him hospitalized at least through Monday.
"He's very stable and doing very well," Dr. Steven DeAngeles said Sunday.
Despite a family history of high blood pressure, Daley has not had a complete physical examination in at least 10 years, doctor said. His father, former Mayor Richard J. Daley, died of a heart attack in 1976.
The mayor's spokesman Rod Sierra said Daley is an avid bicyclist who is in good shape and plans to begin a ride across the country this summer.
