In a statement released Sunday after Mrs. Clinton collapsed at a September 11 memorial event in New York, Dr. Lisa Bardack said she made the diagnosis while examining the candidate’s recent coughing incidents.
The doctor examined Clinton Friday for a prolonged cough and she diagnosed pneumonia, a lung infection.
“She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule”, Dr Bardack said.
US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leaves her daughter’s apartment building after resting on September 11, 2016 in NY.
“While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated”.
As she left the building two hours later, she waved to reporters and said: “I’m feeling great”.
Footage shot on an iPhone seemed to show the presidential candidate propping herself up on a bollard as aids clutched her arms apparently supporting her.
Democratic Representative Joe Crowley of NY, a Clinton supporter who attended the event, told MSNBC television that it was “stifling” during the ceremony. Video taken at the scene and posted on social media shows Clinton being held up by three people. The hashtag #HillarysHealth trended on Twitter, with many accusing the Clinton camp of covering up far more serious illnesses.
She made a full recovery from surgery she underwent in 2012 for a blood clot, the doctor said. The temperatures in the morning were already in the high 70s and rising, with a high humidity on top of that. Merrill indicated that she returned to her Chappaqua, New York, residence after 1 pm, but did not give an exact time.
Clinton’s health came into the spotlight Sunday when she was rushed from ground zero as she appeared to be fainting.
Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s physician, issued a statement saying the former secretary of state had been overheated. Her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, also attended the event.
“Secretary Clinton has been experience a cough related to allergies”.
During the speech, she quipped, “Every time I think about Trump I get allergic”.
Bardack, in a letter released last July, described Clinton as “healthy”, noting that her only medical conditions are hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergies. One strategist says Clinton needs to address the issue more directly.
