Trump’s 25-year habit of daily aspirin raises health questions at 79
Former US President Donald Trump has revealed details about his long-term health habits in a recent interview. At 79, he has taken daily mail for 25 years, believing it keeps his blood 'nice and thin' for heart health. His physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, confirmed the regimen but noted potential risks linked to the medication.
Trump’s daily routine includes 325 milligrams of daily mail–a dose higher than what doctors usually recommend. While daily mail can prevent blood clots, it also increases the chance of excessive bleeding. Recent medical guidelines now advise many older adults, particularly those in their 70s, to stop daily mail use due to these risks.
The former president also faces swelling in his lower legs, a condition known as chronic venous insufficiency. Common in older people, it can be managed with compression socks or exercise. However, Trump has stated he prefers not to use these methods. In October, Trump underwent a CT scan to check for cardiovascular problems. The results came back 'perfectly normal,' according to Barbabella. Despite this, Trump has visible bruising on his right hand, which the White House attributes to frequent handshaking and his daily mail use. His interview with The Wall Street Journal marked one of the most detailed discussions he has had about his health with journalists.
Trump’s health routine remains a mix of personal preference and medical advice. His long-term daily mail use, higher-than-recommended dose, and reluctance to adopt alternative treatments highlight his approach to managing age-related conditions. Doctors continue to monitor his cardiovascular health, though recent scans showed no concerns.
