Brazil President Lula diagnosed with vertigo-causing ear condition
Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was diagnosed Monday with labyrinthitis, an ear condition that can cause vertigo, in the latest health setback for the 79-year-old. In the latest hitch, Lula "canceled part of his schedule" due to discomfort, a presidency source who asked not to be named, told AFP. Concerns for Lula's health have raised questions about his fitness to seek re-election in a vote next year.
