Donald Trump is in excellent physical and cognitive health and fully fit to carry out his duties as US President, says his physician.
President Donald Trump, who recently underwent a physical health check-up, has been prescribed medication for controlling cholesterol, preventing cardiac issues, and treating a skin condition.
The US president has been advised to take rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for cholesterol control, aspirin for cardiac prevention, and mometasone cream for a skin condition, according to the health report on the White House website.
“The skin examination revealed some minor sun damage and a few lesions. No concerning lesions or growths were identified,” the report said.
The report shared by President Donald Trump's physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, mentions that Trump's urinalysis results were normal.
His pertinent past medical history includes well-controlled hypercholesterolemia, seasonal allergies, a history of COVID-19 infection, and well-managed conditions such as rosacea, actinic keratosis, benign nevi, diverticulosis, and a benign colon polyp.
In terms of past surgical history, Trump underwent an appendectomy at age 11 and bilateral cataract surgery.
The report also mentions that his social history reflects “lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”
