Trump health update: Experts say President’s weight gain could signal ‘very serious’ condition: ‘a malignant form of…’

President of the United States Donald Trump He was declared in “good health” after a recent physical, but a former emergency room doctor said one aspect of the report, the president’s recent weight gain, deserves closer attention.

The report pointed out that Trump now weighs 238 pounds (108 kilograms), 14 pounds more than during the previous examination.

Former ER doctor asks questions

Commenting on the findings, Dr. Stuart Fisher, a practicing internist and former emergency room doctor, told the Daily Mail that the public reports did not provide enough information for outsiders to make a full assessment of the president’s health.

While Fisher dismissed some of the criticism surrounding Trump’s health as exaggerated, he believed the weight gain could be indicative of an underlying problem.

Doctors say unexplained weight gain can sometimes be linked to serious circulatory problems or even early-stage congestive heart failure. He described one possible explanation as a “vicious form of circulatory problem” and warned that the condition could “potentially be very serious”.

Fisher also suggested someone should have an honest conversation with Trump about his health, saying the president could be “playing with fire” if he doesn’t address weight-related risks.

What is congestive heart failure?

congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart becomes too weak or stiff to pump blood effectively. The condition can cause fluid to build up in the lungs, legs and abdomen, leading to swelling and other complications, according to medical experts.

Fisher acknowledged, however, that Trump’s medical reports contained no indication that the president suffered from congestive heart failure or any other major cardiovascular disease.

The medical report found no obvious abnormalities

Official examinations found no major problems with Trump’s heart, lungs or neurological health. The president reportedly underwent cardiac imaging, CT scans, cancer screenings and other preventive evaluations by 22 experts.

Bababella wrote that Trump’s “cognitive and physical performance has been excellent,” noting that his active schedule continues to support his overall health.

The report also noted Trump’s previously disclosed diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that causes blood to pool in the legs. Doctors observed slight swelling in the calf but said the situation was improved compared to last year.

Trump also scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a screening tool commonly used to assess cognitive impairment and dementia.
