The presidential candidate revealed some details of his medical record on the Dr Oz Show, which is set to be screened later today (15 September) – he is shown to be seriously overweight with a BMI of 29.1.

The Republican presidential nominee’s campaign had said earlier Wednesday he wouldn’t be releasing the results of a physical the 70-year-old candidate underwent last week on The Dr. Oz Show.
There weren’t a lot of bombshells, nor was there even much bombast.
The full installment of The Dr. Oz Show airs Thursday.
But we did take away a few lessons from the hourlong broadcast.
His doctor said in a letter that Trump takes a cholesterol-lowering drug and a “low dose aspirin”.
For his part, Oz on Tuesday told Fox News Radio’s Kilmeade & Friends “the metaphor for me is, this is a doctor’s office, the studio”.
Trump also reportedly had some surprising comments about his exercise regimen and eating habits, per NBC’s Jesse Rodriguez. “He’s 6’3” and weighs 236 pounds, according to Villa’s recollection (some other publications said the weight mentioned at the taping was 267 pounds). Dr. Bornstein said he’s been Trump’s doctor since November 6, 1980, and has been on the active staff of Lenox Hill Hospital in NY for the past 38 years.
“If your health is as strong as it seems from your review of systems, why not share your medical records?”
Of course, he got applause.
The biggest takeaway? Trump, according to Trump’s doctor – Dr. Harold N. Bornstein – is the epitome of health.
Donald Trump reportedly shared the results of his physical during a recent television appearance, despite previous reports.
Norm Ornstein, a longtime scholar with the conservative American Enterprise Institute and writer who opposes Trump, tweeted on Wednesday afternoon that Trump “is playing you guys” in the media “like a Stradivarius”. “Look at his health a little bit”. After taking several days off from directly attacking Clinton’s health following her diagnosis of pneumonia over the weekend, Trump appeared to raise questions about her health at a rally Wednesday night in Ohio.

Schneiderman is a Democrat and has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Tim Kaine of Virginia. While her top campaign aides conceded they were too slow in providing the public with information about Clinton’s condition, it was unclear how quickly they themselves had been informed. There’s also no way of knowing that the candidates told us everything pertinent about their health and, frankly, that’s none of anyone’s business.
