President Donald Trump is in \u201cexcellent health,\u201d the White House physician said Friday in a memo the administration released after Trump\u2019s visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center \u2014 his third in-person medical checkup in 13 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief,\u201d Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president\u2019s physician, wrote in the memo.<\/p>\n

The memo said that Trump took a series of exams, testing cardiac function, eye health and pulmonary function, among other areas. The results were largely normal, with Barbabella noting \u201cslight lower leg swelling,\u201d and bruising on the hand \u201cconsistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

The memo came out three days after his Tuesday exam.<\/p>\n

Barbabella reported Trump\u2019s weight as 238 pounds with a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute. Trump also took a neurological exam that included screening for cognitive function, which was within normal limits with a score of 30 out of 30, Barbabella claims.<\/p>\n

Trump is taking medication for cholesterol control and cardiac prevention, Barbabella said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President remains up to date on all appropriate preventive screenings and immunizations,\u201d Barbabella said. \u201cRoutine cancer screenings, cardiovascular risk assessment, and metabolic evaluations are current and within recommended intervals. Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump went to Walter Reed twice last year \u2014 in April and October \u2014 and had two dental appointments in Florida this year: one in January and one in May.<\/p>\n

Trump, who will turn 80 in June, is the oldest person to assume the presidency. He regularly insists he is in excellent health, most recently Tuesday following his visit to Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff!\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

He also regularly says he has aced cognitive exams.<\/p>\n

Still, speculation about Trump\u2019s health has been fueled by moments of apparent drowsiness and a noticeably bruised right hand. The White House has blamed the bruising on Trump\u2019s frequent handshaking and said he takes aspirin as a blood thinner \u2014 more than is recommended by his doctors.<\/p>\n

Last year, the White House revealed that Trump had chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition that causes poor circulation and led to swelling in his legs.<\/p>\n

In October, following his visit to Walter Reed, which the White House had described as a \u201croutine yearly check up\u201d even though it was his second visit in six months, Trump revealed to reporters that he had undergone an MRI. His doctor later clarified that the exam was a CT scan of his heart and abdomen \u201cto definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbabella said that Trump had the scan \u201cto make the most of the President\u2019s time at the hospital\u201d and that his doctors had asked Trump whether he would undergo advanced imaging. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs we revealed in the post-examination report, the advanced imaging was perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities,\u201d Barbabella said in a statement to NBC News at the time.<\/p>\n

Barbabella struck a similar tone during Trump\u2019s April 2025 visit, saying he \u201cremains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function.\u201d<\/p>\n
