The Democratic presidential nominee was asked about her health by Anderson Cooper on AC360 Monday night, after she appeared to collapse at the 9/11 memorial on Sunday. “I’m feeling fine and getting better”.
“I’m feeling so much better. and obviously I should have gotten some rest sooner”, she said.
The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton expressed regret Monday for the way it initially handled news concerning the candidate’s health, which sparked questions over her long-term viability as America’s commander in-chief.
Aides are promising to release more of her medical records following her bout of pneumonia and conceding they were too slow in providing information about her condition.
Though Bill Clinton said it is rare, the former president admitted Monday that Hillary Clinton has experienced similar medical episodes “on more than one occasion” over the years.
According to a YouGov poll, first obtained by The Times, 46 per cent of registered voters did not buy the Clinton campaign’s statement that the Democrat left the service after 90 minutes due to a mild form of pneumonia, allergies and that she felt “overheated”.
“The funniest thing that happened to me on Sunday, was not a amusing day, after all, but this was kind of humorous, is I got to the memorial, I saw my friend and former colleague, Chuck Schumer, and the first thing he says to me is I have had pneumonia and I have been resting for five days”.
Clinton, 68, is resting at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y.
“I think really only twice that I can recall”, Clinton said.
On Sunday morning Mrs. Clinton abruptly slipped out of a 9/11 memorial in NY.
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said on MSNBC that the campaign will release more information in the next couple days.
The Wall Street Journal said that Clinton released a summary of her health a year ago, with her campaign noting that was enough information.
Crews prepped on Tuesday for a Hillary Clinton fundraiser, even though she wasn’t be there.
“It is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life”, she said.
The incident compounds a hard time for Clinton as the race enters its final stretch.

Questions about the incident reinforced the perception of Mrs Clinton as secretive, a view fuelled by the revelation that she used a private email server instead of a government one while serving as President Barack Obama’s top diplomat. “Her intention was to power through”, Fallon said.
