“It’s two letters: one is the report and one is from Lenox Hill Hospital”, he says.
According to the laboratory results, which Dr. Bornstein listed in his letter, Trump’s cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, PSA, blood pressure, and blood sugar all tested within the “normal range”.
Trump is 70 years old and, if elected, would be the oldest man elected to the office of United States president.
Trump was also asked about reproductive health and he said that he feels women should be able to obtain birth control without a prescription.
The TV doctor did tell Trump that he was a little overweight, and Trump said that he would like to lose 15-20 pounds. Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump made an appearance during the show and talked about her father’s child care plan, as well as his role as a grandfather.
“The 70-year-old, who is 6’3” (1.9m) tall and weighs 236 lb (107 kg), would be the oldest person ever elected as president.

A letter from Donald Trump’s personal physician says he is in “excellent physical health” and received normal results after a physical examination last week. He said he’d like to shed a few pounds and that his exercise consists of giving campaign speeches, which he called “a lot of work”.
The release also said that “as all physicians do when seeing a patient for the first time”, Oz took Trump “through a full review of systems including the following: nervous system; head and neck; hormone levels; cardiovascular health and related medications; respiratory health; gastrointestinal health; bladder or prostate health; dermatological health; history of cancer”. A chest x-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) in April were normal, and an echocardiogram in 2014 was “within the range of normal”, Bornstein wrote. The billionaire businessman revealed he takes a statin to lower his cholesterol.

He takes the cholesterol-lowering medication rosuvastatin and a low-dose aspirin, which keep his cholesterol level at 169. That would give him a body mass index, or BMI, of 29.5, which falls into the category of overweight for his height.
