Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency following leg swelling
President Donald Trump was examined for swelling in his legs and has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, the White House announced Thursday.
Trump, 79, underwent a “comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies” with the White House Medical Unit, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, reading a note from the president’s physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella.
Barbabella’s letter, which was later released by the White House, states that “bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
The examination came after Trump had “noted mild swelling in his lower legs” over recent weeks, Leavitt said.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition in which valves inside certain veins don’t work the way they should, which can allow blood to pool or collect in the veins. About 150,000 people are diagnosed with it each year, and the risk goes up with age. Symptoms can include swelling in the lower legs or ankles, aching or cramping in the legs, varicose veins, pain or skin changes. Treatment may involve medication or, in later stages, medical procedures.
“It’s basically not alarming information, and it’s not surprising,” Dr. Jeremy Faust, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School, told CNN.
“This is a pretty normal part of aging, and especially for someone in the overweight to obese category, which is where the president has always been. But the bigger concern … is that symptoms like this do need to be evaluated for more serious conditions, and that is what happened.”
Chronic venous insufficiency can be related to conditions like increased pressure from the heart or sleep apnea, cardiologist Dr. Bernard Ashby told CNN.
“Even though he’s diagnosed with a benign condition, venous insufficiency, by itself doesn’t necessarily mean it’s benign. The question is, what’s causing the venous insufficiency? And so I would want to know whether or not he has any evidence of, again, increased pressures in the heart or increased pressures in the lungs, which can be contributing to that, and if so, what is the primary cause of that?”
Age, obesity and inactivity can all lead to the condition. “If a person is older, a person is overweight, a person is not engaging in regular physical activity or exercise, if a person is sitting or standing for prolonged amounts of time, you can get chronic venous insufficiency,” Dr. Chris Pernell told CNN.

That list just keeps growing. It's a shame that he was elected again, not going to lie this was the first election I had ever voted in before and to see that he managed to make his way back into the white house is devastating.

Read one theory that the democrat's know the election was rigged, but stepped aside to prevent bloodshed from MEGA extremist that would have targeted democrat families and such.

Those awards are just given out to elitists anyway. No regular, hardworking person would ever get it.

Trump is far from a regular, hardworking person though lol. I'm surprised he hasn't begged for one of those prizes yet because he probably feels like he's entitled to it. I believe a guy who actually won an award over the guy who's business went bankrupt when it comes to the economy. Because it's obvious Trump just wants to bully everyone he doesn't like, and anyone who tries to challenge him.

Well, maybe next time (if there even is a next time) people understand voting as consequences.
And people can't even say "I didn't know" or "I made a mistake" this time because you saw the nonsense, evil, and criminality from Trump the first time he was in office.

Yep but it sucks for those such as myself who didn't vote for Trump. We've told people before the election, but they chose to ignore the red flags because "he'll lower the taxes and make things cheaper again."
