President Donald Trump was listed in “excellent health” after his annual medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a White House memo released on May 29.
The 79-year-old president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function during his test.
“Cognitive and physical performance are excellent,” Dr. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president, wrote. “He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the commander-in-chief and head of state.”
Barbabella noted that Trump continued to have “slight lower leg swelling” and hand bruising, which he said was “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.”
“This represents a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy,” the memo noted. “No suspicious lesions or concerning growths [were] identified.”
The memo showed that Trump was taking aspirin and two medications for cholesterol control.
