US President Donald Trump’s Swollen Leg Symptom Points Finger To 4 Silent Health Issues

Despite every effort from the White House, Trump's swollen leg symptom points finger to more than chronic venous insufficiency. Know four illnesses which could show very similar symptoms to Trump's swollen leg.

Donald Trump Health: The US President, Donald Trump, has been in the news recently due to his health condition, with many speculating about some bizarre illnesses.

The speculation intensified after pictures of Trump with swollen ankles and makeup covering part of his hand went viral on social media.

Internet users have since begun fueling various conspiracy theories.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Earlier, the White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, while reading a letter from Trump's doctor, was asked, "What is the White House trying to hide about the 79-year-old President's health condition?"

Leavitt responded that the bruising on the US President's hand is from "shaking so many hands"?

The White House even ruled out all the conspiracies by stating that his leg swelling is from a common vein condition, which is caused by ageing.

Sean Barbabella, Trump's physician, also addressed the speculation, citing an ultrasound report that revealed "Chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70."

Despite all the clarification, rising questions are flooding the internet.

Four Illnesses Similar To Donald Trump Health Symptoms

Here are some illnesses that share common symptoms, leaving people with questions:

1. Liver Dysfunction: Your liver plays a crucial role in producing blood-clotting proteins; hence, liver dysfunction can cause easy bruising even without a significant wound.
2. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Although no official statement has been made, Trump's health symptoms also point to DVT. It is a medical condition very similar to what the US president is currently facing, where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. DVT causes symptoms like swelling, pain, warmth, and redness in the affected limb.
3. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Another condition people are speculating that Trump could be suffering from is PAD. A condition, as per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs get narrow or blocked. PAD is primarily caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries.
4. Chronic Kidney or Heart Conditions: As earlier explained by the White House, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that can lead an individual to experience early signs of heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
