President Donald Trump made a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for yet another routine check-up on Tuesday.
This visit was Trump’s, 79, third medical appointment within a span of 13 months – occurring just hours after he appeared to be “swaying” in a concerning health video. He had previously gone to Walter Reed in April 2025 for his annual physical examination, and returned in October for what officials from the administration referred to as a “scheduled follow-up.” Additionally, he visited his local dentist in Florida on May 2.

Worries about the President’s health have escalated since the onset of his second term, especially with Trump poised to celebrate his pre80th birthday next month.
Trump’s physician has publicly acknowledged only one medical condition impacting the POTUS— a chronic illness commonly seen in people of his age.
What medical condition does Trump have?
Trump is diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a medical issue that arises when veins sustain damage and do not function properly. Normally, the valves in the veins facilitate the movement of blood from various parts of the body back to the heart, Mirror US reported. However, chronic venous insufficiency impedes this blood circulation, resulting in blood accumulation in the legs.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, this condition is considered “not a serious health threat,” although it can be “painful and disabling.” Chronic venous insufficiency impacts 1 in 20 adults and is most commonly observed in people over the age of 50.
In the absence of appropriate treatment, the condition may result in discomfort, inflammation, muscle cramps, varicose veins, and leg ulcers. As reported by CBS News, Sean Barbabella, the physician for Trump, has verified that the President’s condition is managed effectively, with no signs of more severe complications like deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. He asserts that Trump is in “excellent” health.
What are the signs of chronic venous insufficiency?
Symptoms associated with this condition include:
Aching or fatigued legs.
A burning, tingling, or “pins and needles” feeling in the legs.
Leg cramps occurring at night.
Skin discoloration that appears reddish-brown.
Swelling (edema) in the lower legs and ankles, particularly after prolonged standing or at the end of the day.
Flaky or itchy skin on the legs or feet.
A sensation of fullness or heaviness in the legs.
Skin on the legs that appears leathery.
Ulcers (open sores), typically located near the ankles. If these are extremely painful, they may indicate an infection.
Varicose veins.
People who are overweight, pregnant, have a family history of this condition, or have experienced leg injuries are at an increased risk of developing chronic venous insufficiency.
