President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo his routine annual physical exam next month at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, as announced by his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella. This will mark the first physical exam of his second term in office. The specific date of the examination will be made public in the coming weeks.
At 78 years old, President Trump is one of the oldest individuals to hold the office, second only to former President Joe Biden. Concerns about age and physical health have been significant issues for both presidents. If Trump completes his second term, he would become the oldest president in U.S. history.
During his first term, President Trump underwent an annual physical at Walter Reed each year. A previous examination revealed that he had a common form of heart disease. Following this diagnosis, his doctor recommended adjustments to his cholesterol-lowering medication dosage and advised lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise.
President Trump has acknowledged the importance of health in his decision-making process, stating in a recent interview with the Washington Post that health considerations are paramount. He emphasized the unpredictability of health issues and the need for vigilance in monitoring one's well-being.
As the date of President Trump's upcoming physical exam approaches, the public will await further details on his health status and any potential recommendations from his medical team.
