News Topical, Digital Desk : There is no doubt that Trump has grown old. This is because problems start occurring in the body as one grows older. The White House says that Trump has a nerve disease due to which his legs are swelling.
White House issued a statement
US President Donald Trump has suffered swelling in his lower legs and an injury to his right arm, the White House said on Thursday, after Trump's ankles were swollen and a layer of makeup was seen on the affected arm.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt read a letter from Trump's doctor at a press conference, saying both ailments are normal. She told reporters that the swelling in his leg is due to a common vein disease and that his hand hurts because he shook hands with so many people.
It was being said that due to the injury, he was suffering from a serious illness.
The revelation puts an end to internet rumours that Trump, 79, could be suffering from a serious illness based on evidence in photographs.
Trump underwent several tests
Following Levitt's briefing, the White House released a letter from Shawn Barbella, a US Navy officer who is also Trump's physician. It said Trump had undergone a number of tests to address these problems.
Barbella said an ultrasound of the president's legs revealed "chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition, especially in people over the age of 70." Additional tests showed no signs of heart failure, kidney failure or any other systemic disease, Barbella said.
Trump is not having any problem with this situation
Leavitt told reporters that Trump is not having any problems due to this condition. Barbella also said that Trump has bruises on the back of his right hand. The letter said that there is no evidence that Trump has deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.
