Donald Trump’s health rumors are not dying down anytime soon. New conspiracy theories are emerging every day. Reports recently mentioned that POTUS was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. Speculations swirled that the mark on Trump’s hand, which many initially dismissed as a simple bruise, is not an ordinary bruise but a sign of a more serious condition.
Donald Trump May Have A Blood Clot
Specialists at the Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) have cautioned that while bruises are common and usually harmless, some forms of skin discoloration can indicate significant underlying issues.
The clarification comes after Trump faced scrutiny for his extended public absence, which fueled rumors of his death.
“Many patients come to us weeks after noticing what they thought was a simple bruise, but in reality, it was an early sign of a vein disorder or even a blood clot,” explained Dr. Pamela Kim, a vein specialist at CVR. “Knowing the difference can be lifesaving.”
Warning Signs to Watch
According to experts, additional symptoms that should prompt medical attention include:
Persistent swelling or warmth in a limb
Unusual tenderness without an obvious cause
Skin discoloration that does not fade
A visible bulge or hardness beneath the skin
Blood Clots And The Risks of Misdiagnosis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer blood clots each year, with many deaths linked to complications such as pulmonary embolisms. Misdiagnosis, or assuming a clot is just a bruise, can prove fatal.
In Trump’s case, what many observers dismissed as a “bruise” on his hand was instead linked to a vascular condition.
“Chronic venous insufficiency can affect a president or anyone else. It impacts millions of Americans,” Dr. Kim said.
She added, “We want people to know when to watch and when to act.”
