Clinton unexpectedly left Sunday’s 9/11 anniversary ceremony in NY after feeling “overheated”. Trump has said he plans to release more detailed information about his health in the near future.

“We’ve been in touch with her this morning and it is our intention in the next couple days we’ll release additional medical information about Hillary Clinton”, said Brian Fallon, Clinton spokesperson. “I’m like you, I just see what I see”, he said.
“I’m feeling fine and getting better”, Mrs Clinton posted on Twitter, signing with the “H” which signifies she personally wrote the message.
Asked if the health of the candidates was an issue, Mr Trump said: “I think it’s an issue”.
After falling ill with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton was forced to leave the 9/11 memorial service in New York City yesterday for her health. Pneumonia is “going around”, she added.
She added that she is eager to return to the campaign trail. “But I got in, once I could sit down, once I could cool off, once I got some water, I immediately started feeling better”. Video from outside the event appeared to show her knees buckling as she got into her van.
She emerged from the apartment just before noon and said she was “feeling great”.
Despite not going to the hospital, and having a serious infection, Clinton’s acute affliction seemed improved by the afternoon when she emerged from the apartment smiling, saying that she was “feeling great”, and that it is a “beautiful day in NY”.
There’s no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia is any more than a passing bout of illness from which she will recuperate.
Campaign officials also disputed news reports that Clinton collapsed as she left the 9/11 memorial.
A stomach virus and dehydration prompted her to faint, causing what her doctor said was a concussion.
He also pointed to her prolonged coughing the previous week whilst giving an interview to CNBC.
Clinton cancelled a West Coast trip scheduled for early this week due to her pneumonia diagnosis.
“I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”, Lisa R. Bardick was quoted as saying. The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also. It usually is treated with antibiotics.
“You can’t say the same thing about Donald Trump”, she said, arguing that she has been far more transparent than Trump and that her campaign has “already met a high standard of transparency”.
