Trump gained 4 lbs., but in good health overall: Personal doctor

President Trump may have gained four pounds from last year but he remains in “very good health overall,” his personal doctor said Thursday.

Navy Cmdr. Sean Conley, a doctor of osteopathy, released the result of his four-hour examination of the 72-year-old president.

The 6-foot-3 president weighs 243 pounds, up from 239 after his last physical. The increase gives him a body mass index of slightly over 30, the threshold for being considered clinically obese.

Nonetheless, doctors said the overall picture is a good one.

“After taking into account all the laboratory results, examinations and specialist recommendations, it is my determination that the president remains in very good health overall,” Cmdr. Conley wrote.

Doctors also increased his dosage of statins, from 10mg to 40mg, to control his cholesterol. The medication appears to be working, as his total cholesterol dropped from 223 last year to 196, according to the doctor’s memo to the White House.

The president’s resting heart rate was 70 beats per minute — the Mayo Clinic says normal is 60 to 100 — and his blood pressure is a normal 118/80, which is down from 122/74 last year.

He received immunizations for shingles, a viral infection that can cause a painful rash, and to prevent pneumococcal diseases. Both are important for older Americans.

All of his other shots are up to date.

Mr. Trump was analyzed by a panel of 11 board-certified specialists at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland on Friday. He did not have any procedures requiring sedation or anesthesia.

Last year, then-White House physician Ronny Jackson said Mr. Trump was in “excellent” health.

He recommended that Mr. Trump, who does not smoke or drink alcohol, lose some weight by eating more salads and fewer carbohydrates, though it’s unclear if the fast-food-loving president took that advice.
