Hahn Undergoes a Series of Tests After Dizziness Spell
- Share via
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn was given a series of tests Monday, including a CAT scan of his brain, after a spell of dizziness that hospitalized him Sunday, an aide reported.
Press assistant Dan Wolf said Dr. Barry Ludwig, a neurologist, is attempting to find the cause of the “disorientation” that afflicted Hahn while he was attending a social event Sunday in El Segundo.
“What happened is potentially related to the circulatory system and so they will be looking into that,” Wolf said.
Wolf said that Hahn, 66, is expected to remain hospitalized at least until Wednesday, although the supervisor’s aide described him as in “good condition” and alert.
“He is trying to be patient, but that is not very easy for him,” Wolf said.
Hahn was taken to Daniel Freeman Hospital in El Segundo early Sunday evening. Paramedics said he became disoriented, spilled a glass of water and momentarily lost control of his left arm.
Hahn has been a member of the Board of Supervisors since 1952.
