Trump Said to Be in ‘Excellent Health’ After Annual Physical

President Donald J. Trump has just finished receiving his first physical since he entered the White House in January 2017, and has been declared in excellent health, though details have not yet been released.

At a press briefing immediately after the physical, Navy Rear Adm. Ronny L. Jackson, MD said the exam went very well, according to a statement tweeted by Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary.

The last health information about Trump was released in September 2016 in the form of a five-paragraph letter from his personal physician, Harold Bornstein, MD.

The president was described as 6’ 3”, 236 pounds, with blood pressure of 116/70, a blood sugar level of 99, and lipid readings within the normal range – with an HDL of 63, LDL of 94, and triglycerides of 61. His coronary artery calcium score was 98, which is defined as mild heart disease, but an electrocardiogram and chest x-ray conducted in April 2016 were normal, Dr. Bornstein said.

The then-candidate’s PSA score was low. His last colonoscopy, in 2013, found no polyps. The one-page letter stated that Trump’s testosterone level – 441.6 – was in the normal range, as were liver and thyroid function tests.

At the time, Dr. Bornstein noted that Trump was taking rosuvastatin (Crestor, AstraZeneca), a low-dose aspirin for heart attack prevention, finasteride (Propecia) to treat male-pattern baldness, and antibiotics for rosacea.
