Dr. Harold Bornstein, who is board-certified in gastroenterology and internal medicine, is an attending physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and has been Trump’s doctor since 1980. “I’ve always been a little bit this way”, Trump said in the episode of the “Dr. Oz show” that aired Thursday.

Donald Trump appears on “The Dr. Oz Show”.
In the interview Thursday, Trump admitted that, at 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds, he is overweight and said he would like to lose 15 to 20 pounds.
The businessman takes a lipid lowering agent (rosuvastatin) and a low dose of aspirin and does not smoke or drink alcohol, Bornstein wrote.
Trump’s camp issued a media release today saying the test results showed Trump “is in excellent health, and has the stamina to endure – uninterrupted – the rigors of a punishing and unprecedented presidential campaign”.
When US presidential candidate Donald Trump looks in the mirror, he says he sees a man of 35 looking back. And Trump’s medical and family histories are incomplete, Mishori said.
Nevertheless, the medical report says in general that the mogul’s health is “excellent” and his medical history shows that he has only been hospitalized once, when he was 11, for an operation to remove his appendix.
Trump had a physical exam last week and first revealed some details on “The Dr. Oz Show”. Both candidates pledged to release more information about their health.
Clinton’s personal physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, said in a letter that accompanied the records, that her patient was “recovering well with antibiotics and rest” after she fell ill Sunday during a 9/11 memorial service at ground zero.
“I have every single test you can have and they were good”, Trump told Fox & Friends – adding that he probably would not have released them had they been otherwise. His cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and C-reactive protein (a measure of inflammation) are all in normal range.
Trump and Hillary Clinton, 68, the Democrat facing him in the November 8 presidential election, have both promised to release more medical information.
While many people criticise the BMI score – as it can not differentiate between fat and muscle – it is still used widely across the world as part of guidance for people who need to lose or gain weight. You think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?

The letter is a summary of Trump’s recent annual physical and included specific test results. With his daughter by his side, Trump also commented on controversial statements he has made toward women.
