Shinzo Abe's health has been the subject of growing speculation, with reports before his check-up that he had been vomiting blood.
"I've been told today he will receive additional testing after a check-up" last week, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga told reporters at a regular briefing.
Even before the unexpected visit to the hospital last week there had been reports in local media claiming Abe was vomiting blood, and confidantes publicly expressed concern that the prime minister was in need of rest. He was already the country's longest-serving prime minister, counting his first and second terms in office.
