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,” but he has improved from last year, after the president was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency in the summer of 2025.
He also had hand bruising, which Barbabella 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.
The report stated that “Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.” The report from the May 27 visit, which was Trump’s third in 13 months, added that the president was 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighed 238 pounds, and had a blood pressure of 105/71.
Doctors also reported scarring on his right ear, which is the result of him being shot while speaking in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
The memo did not reveal why the president underwent a skin treatment on his neck in March. At the time, the White House said Trump had a rash on his neck due to a “preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor.” The treatment lasted one week, but redness was expected to linger for a few weeks after.
Although Trump is the second-oldest U.S. president in office, the memo suggested his cardiac age was approximately 14 years younger than his actual age and reiterated his “lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”
