Clinton, who according to ABC News said she had not disclosed her Friday diagnosis earlier because she believed she could “keep going forward and power through it”, subsequently opted to take three days from campaigning to recover.

Health issues have dominated the race for November’s election since a dizzy spell forced Mrs Clinton, 68, to leave a 9/11 ceremony in NY on Sunday. Bardack put Clinton on a 10-day course of the antibiotic Levaquin and said she “continues to improve”.
Her vitals were recorded with blood pressure of 100/70; heart rate of 70; respiratory rate of 18; temperature of 97.8 and pulse-oximetry of 99%.
In a statement, Ms Clinton’s physician Dr Lisa Bardack said a physical exam conducted on Wednesday was “normal” and found the Democratic nominee “in excellent mental condition”.
The Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump discussed his health records on The Dr. Oz Show.
He asked the crowd: “You think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?”
Clinton is now taking Armor Thyroid, Coumadin, Levaquin (for ten days), Clarinex, as well as B12 as needed.
So far, the businessman has only released a widely mocked letter from his longtime physician declaring he would be the healthiest president in history. Just 29 percent said Mrs. Clinton has given accurate information about the subject, compared with 38 percent for Mr. Trump. She’ll return to the campaign trail Thursday. She receives routine dental care, had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter. In response to the controversy, Clinton’s team announced it would publically release her medical records. Clinton’s pneumonia symptoms began around the start of this month, and she saw Bardack on September 2 for a low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue.
News of Trump’s appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” – though it appeared to reveal little detail – had earlier flooded the USA airwaves on Wednesday, upping the pressure on Clinton to share more health data before returning to the trail Thursday with appearances in North Carolina and Washington. Tim Kaine, also released his health information in a letter from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the USA congressional physician.
The doctor also disclosed that Clinton had minor surgery this year to insert a myringotomy tube in her left ear to combat a sinus and ear infection.
Clinton plans to resume campaigning Thursday.
“In stark contrast, Donald Trump is hands down the least transparent presidential nominee in memory”. A spokesperson for the IN governor said he will soon release the results of a physical conducted this summer.
In a statement, the show said Dr Oz had taken Mr Trump “through a full review”, looking at his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history. “His Doctor Oz charade is as completely unserious as his original joke of a letter written in five minutes.He continues to hide his taxes and business dealing behind fake excuses”.
