If you only have $5,000 in medical expenses in 2018 again, then no you would not claim your medical expenses as the Standard Deduction has increased to $24,000 ($26,600) if you are both over 65. So your standard deduction would be higher than your itemized deduction, therefore you would do better to take the standard deduction.
