The White House released the results of President Donald Trump’s May physical Friday evening, sharing a note from his doctor recommending he lose weight and exercise more while noting that he is in excellent health.

“President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function,” White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella wrote in a letter. “Cognitive and physical performance is excellent. He is perfectly suited to carry out all the functions of commander in chief and head of state.”

Barbabella wrote, “Preventive counseling was provided” during the examination, “including advice on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.” »

The doctor noted that the president was 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 238 pounds.

At his physical exam last April, Trump weighed 224 pounds.

His visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday marked the third time he visited the facility for a medical exam since becoming the oldest president ever inaugurated last year.

Before the visit, the White House said the checkup would include “routine annual dental and medical evaluations,” although he had already visited a dentist in Florida twice this year.

Immediately after the visit, Trump offered few details about Truth Social, writing “Everything was checked out PERFECTLY.”

Since his return to the White House in 2025, visible problems and speculation about his health have prompted the White House to release new details about the president’s physical condition.

The White House said the swelling in her legs and ankles revealed last summer was the result of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which the valves inside certain veins do not work as they should, which can allow blood to pool or pool in the veins. Trump attempted to wear compression socks, but found them uncomfortable.

In Friday’s letter, the president’s physician wrote that during Tuesday’s medical examination, “mild swelling of the lower leg was noted, with improvement from last year.”

The president also developed visible bruises on his hands during his second term, which the White House attributed to frequent handshakes and which it attempted to conceal with concealer in photographs.

According to the doctor’s statement, Trump also underwent a “complete neurological examination,” which showed “normal mental status, intact cranial nerves, normal motor strength, sensation, reflexes, gait and balance.”

As for Trump’s heart health, the doctor said: “Al’s enhanced electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis estimated that his heart age…was approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.” »

Barbabella’s letter stated that Trump was currently taking aspirin but was not giving a dose. When used preventatively, doctors typically advise taking 81 milligrams of aspirin per day, but Trump told the Wall Street Journal in January that he takes 325 milligrams, a dose that can increase the risk of bleeding.

“They say aspirin is good for thinning the blood, and I don’t want thick blood flowing through my heart,” Trump told the WSJ. “I want fine, fine blood to flow through my heart. … They prefer me to take the smallest one. I take the biggest one, but I’ve been doing it for years, and it causes bruising.”

Trump again took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a 10-minute screening test used to detect mild cognitive impairment and early-onset dementia. The doctor said the president scored 30 out of 30.
