Steven Ma (馬浚偉) was admitted to the hospital on March 17 after experiencing a sudden bout of dizziness and high blood pressure. Suffering from a chronic condition that causes his heart to beat rapidly, sometimes up to 170 beats per minute, Steven must constantly keep a careful watch over his health and closely examine any abnormality. Living with the condition for over eight years, he has always made sure to keep his daily supply of medications close by, and exercises regularly to boost his well-being. While filming Storm in a Cocoon <守業者> last September, Steven was sent to the hospital when his heart condition was triggered after working at a grueling pace under hot weather. He returned to the set just one day later, worried about causing delays in the filming progress. Currently promoting his drama and preparing for his upcoming overseas concerts, Steven’s health may have once again succumbed to his busy work schedule. Suddenly feeling dizzy, he headed to the hospital yesterday for a thorough checkup, accompanied by a female friend. Looking pale and a bit weak, Steven had to lean on objects to steady himself as he stood, though luckily he was assisted into a wheelchair later on. He later confirmed his condition with the media, saying that he is suffering from high blood pressure. To rule out anything more serious, the doctors have advised Steven to remain in the hospital overnight for further observation. Creds: Oriental Daily
