<p>US President Donald Trump is in excellent health, his physician said today after he underwent his first physical examination since taking office.<br /><br />The examination at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre lasted several hours and was likely to measure things like Trump's blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, heart rate and weight.<br /><br />"The President's physical exam today went exceptionally well," Dr. Ronnie Jackson said in a brief statement.<br /><br />"The President is in excellent health," said Jackson after he conducted the first physical exam of the 45th President of the United states.<br /><br />Dr. Jackson has been a physician to the President for three consecutive administrations.<br /><br />He is scheduled to brief the media on January 16 when he is expected to provide a detailed readout of the exam.<br /><br />A routine annual affair for every US president, Trump's medical checkup is being widely reported and has drawn media attention in view of his political opponents raising questions about his health.<br /><br />Trump, 71, himself dismissed any question about his health.<br /><br />"I think it's going to go very well. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't," Trump told reporters on Thursday.<br /><br />"It (had) better go well, otherwise the stock market will not be happy," he joked in response to a question on his health.<br /><br />Two months before the November 2016 election, Trump released a five-paragraph letter from his longtime physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, who concluded that Trump "is in excellent physical health."<br /><br />The 2016 letter put Trump's blood pressure and cholesterol measurements in the healthy range, though he uses a cholesterol-lowering statin medication. His EKG, chest X- ray, echocardiogram and blood sugar were normal.<br /><br />The 6-foot-3 Trump weighed 107 kilograms, and his body mass index, or BMI, of 29.5 put him in the category of being overweight for his height.</p>
