Bolivian President Evo Morales says he will soon undergo nasal surgery to ease persistent head and ear aches, the Associated Press reported.

Morales has canceled several appearances in recent days for health reasons.

The 49-year-old president told reporters Saturday that doctors have recommended nasal surgery to correct his problem. He did not give details on his condition or what type of operation is planned.

Morales said he is consulting his Cabinet to pick a date for the procedure.

According to the constitution, Vice President Alvaro Garcia would be in charge while Morales is incapacitated.
