: A recording of late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's voice, telling a doctor that her blood pressure of 140/80 was normal for her, has been made available to the media by the commission probing her death.
When a duty doctor tells Jayalalithaa her blood pressure was "high, it reads 140 (systolic)," she asks "by", meaning what was the diastolic value.
To this, the doctor replies "140/80," and she replies "its okay for me... normal."
She also tells a man, identified as Dr K S Sivakumar, her physician, that if it was not possible (to download a mobile application to record her wheezing) "leave it."
In another 33-second audio, which is connected to the other recording, Dr Sivakumar tells Jayalalithaa, who is breathing heavily, that he is recording the wheezing and it was not "very intense now."
Coughing, she tells him "when it (wheezing) was there, I told you, you said it (application) could not be taken (downloaded)."
The voice recording was done by Sivakumar, when the late leader had "wheezing (breathing difficulty) problem."
Sivakumar also submitted a to-do list dated August 2, 2016 that covers diet-cum-health monitoring tasks like measuring fasting blood sugar (marked as FBS in the note) and tablets for diabetes, including 'Januvia-50 mg.'
