Press Secretary Leavitt said the 79-year-old had been experiencing swelling in his legs, as reported by the BBC.
A ‘comprehensive exam,’ including vascular testing, was conducted.
It was determined that the President has chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where the leg veins struggle to send blood back to the heart due to faulty valves, resulting in blood to pool.
Leavitt shared that Trump’s bruised hands, as noted by the public, were consistent with ’tissue damage from frequent hand shaking’ while taking aspirin, which she said is ‘part of a standard cardio-vascular prevention regimen.’
Still, as mentioned previously, the press secretary gave a vaguer response regarding more recent attention on the President’s seemingly bruised hand.
Yet this isn’t what the former White House doctor has expressed concern over.
White House doctor speaks out
Dr. Reiner, who once served as the cardiologist to the late Vice President Dick Cheney, is now the medical analyst for CNN.
Recently, he shared a video on X, that he believes suggests Trump should undergo a new medical evaluation.
The Oval Office moment shows the President appearing to close his eyes for an extended period while surrounded by officials, aides, and guests.
“The president seems to be struggling with excessive daytime somnolence,” Dr. Reiner speculated.
He added: “Repeatedly falling asleep with a dozen people surrounding your desk is not normal.
“It needs to be evaluated.”
This isn’t the only time Dr. Reiner has raised concerns over President Trump’s health.
Previously, he’s criticized the 79-year-old for taking higher doses of aspirin than recommended, reports CNN.
The President said: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart.”
The doctor also expressed concern after Trump appeared ‘unwell’ during a speech, citing his tone and ‘manic’ pacing.
“I’m seriously concerned about the health of the president,” he commented at the time. “No one should be happy to see the president like this. He looks unwell.”
