Washington - US Presidential contender Mitt Romney's campaign has released a letter from his doctor which states he is healthy and physically fit to meet the rigorous demands of a presidency.
Romney's physician said his heart is healthy, and he takes a baby aspirin and cholesterol medicine to help keep it that way.
He doesn't smoke or drink, or have any serious illnesses, the letter released on Friday said.
According to Fox News, the campaign also released a health summary for his running mate, Paul Ryan, that declares his health excellent.
Ryan's doctor said he exercises vigorously, doesn't smoke, and uses alcohol infrequently.
He pays close attention to cardiac health because of a family history of heart disease, the report said.
According to the report, presidential and vice presidential candidates routinely release summaries of their medical standing.
