MANDALAY, Myanmar (AP) - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi consulted with a doctor at a large campaign rally on Saturday after telling the crowd that she felt unwell and dizzy.

The doctor and other party members said the 66-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate was feeling tired because of her rigorous campaign tour ahead of April 1 by-elections.
Ms Suu Kyi went to a hotel room and was recuperating after the rally, said Nge Nge, a personal aide who is also a physician.
'She is feeling better now. She's taking a rest,' Ms Nge Nge told The Associated Press.
