Trump has CVI and I was wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge of this disease.
Would he be on aspirin because of a blood clot? |
| I think there is far more to it. |
| I have it. I am in my 50s. Was told to lose weight, which I have but it flares up on hot humid days. In winter I have no symptoms. |
|
He doesn’t have CVI. It was the most benign explanation they could come up with for his swollen legs. It does not explain the bruising, the falling asleep on stages, the confusion about what events happened and whether he was involved in them.
Take it to the bank. There is more to this story. |
| The guy is old and is overly scheduled so he has circulation issues. Do you thinks he is keeping his feet/legs elevated? |
|
I have it in one leg and I’m 60. I had 2 DVTs in the same leg due to an unknown clotting issue that messed up my veins. I’m on a permanent low dose of blood thinners and wear a compression stocking. I’m also prone to varicose veins in that leg.
Those bruises on trump look like they are from taking some type of blood thinner. I’m on a very low dosage and even any minor bump turns into a huge bruise. |
| congestive heart failure is what he has |
|
DH has it. He is thin and a former runner but had hideous varicose veins in one leg that eventually formed a DVT. He has since had the veins treated and wears compression Bombas and toeless compression socks st night.
He did have a little edema I never noticed but he did. He takes aspirin. |
| I think it’s either congestive heart failure or kidney disease or AFIB or combination |
Can AFIB cause ankle swelling? DH has AFIB and ankle swelling, and I've been worried about the swelling but he doesn't seem concerned. |
If he also has high blood pressure, amlodipine could cause ankle swelling. |
This is just part of his aging. Doesn't mean he doesn't have CVI. He likely does and he also very likely has other medical conditions they don't want to disclose. But it doesn't mean he doesn't have CVI. |

I agree with this. It reads as a series cardiac condition such as heart failure. Some of these symptoms can be an indication of the side effects of cardiac (heart failure) medications. |
