In the letter dated September 13, which comes as both he and Hillary Clinton move to disclose new details about their health, Trump’s longtime doctor Harold N. Bornstein said the candidate has undergone an annual physical exam since he has been under his care dating back to 1980.

Despite being under considerable heat from her recent health issues, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also released her medical information hours after Trump did.
Trump is 6 foot 3 and weighs 236 pounds. On the show, Trump, 70, said he takes a statin, a common drug to lower cholesterol.
“Cholesterol 169, HDL cholesterol 63, LDL cholesterol 94, triglycerides 61, PSA 0.15, blood pressure 116/70, blood sugar 99 and C Reactive Protein UQ 0/7”, Bornstein writes.
Donald Trump shared the results of a recent physical exam and lab testing with celebrity physician Dr. Mehmet Oz during a taping for Thursday’s episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
The Republican Party’s presidential nominee appeared on The Dr Oz Show for what his campaign team described as a chat about his general well-being and his family’s medical history.
“I looked at them and tried to process it pretty quickly and I got to say as a doctor, if he was my patient, they are good for a man of his age”, Dr. Oz said. “I haven’t had a cold in a long time – years”, the presidential candidate said. Bornstein later admitted to writing the letter in five minutes while a limousine sent by the candidate waited outside. Clinton releases health info Also Wednesday, the Clinton team released a second letter from her physician, Dr. Lisa R. Bardack, that gave current health details. According to Platt, Trump said he instructs the person picking up his food order to refrain from saying the food is for Trump – because he worries the food may be tampered with.
Trump, 70, will be the oldest president to assume office if he is elected.
Amid the chaos wrought by Hillary Clinton’s public near-collapse on Sunday, and her subsequent decision to take a break from campaigning to recover from pneumonia, Trump has sought to portray himself as comparatively robust and better equipped for the rigours of the presidency.
The campaign did not release any ophthalmic results. According to the campaign, Clinton has been resting at her home in Chappaqua, NY since she fell ill last week and was diagnosed with pneumonia, which according to her doctor was “mild”.
