According to Bardack, “the remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition”.
The former secretary of state is set to speak at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala in Washington D.C. on Thursday and due in several battleground states next week, said her campaign, which has promised to release Clinton’s medical records later this week.
Bardack, in her letter about Clinton, wrote: “She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest”. Doctors later narrowed that down further as non-contagious bacterial pneumonia for which Clinton will be treated with Levaquin for 30 days.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton released new medical updates on Wednesday, after the health of the presidential hopefuls emerged as a campaign focal point in recent days.
Additional health records released with the letter show that Clinton’s cholesterol and blood pressure are within normal ranges.
After she become “overheated”, “dizzy” and “dehydrated” at the 9/11 ceremony, Bardack examined Clinton at her suburban NY home. I don’t know, folks, you think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?
The letter expands upon Bardack’s 2015 letter detailing Clinton’s health following a concussion in 2012.
Nick Merrill said Clinton spent Tuesday “catching up on reading briefings, making calls, and she watched President Obama’s speech in Philadelphia on TV”.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump made an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” on Wednesday, at which time the GOP nominee surprised the host with the results of a recent physical.
It said Kaine is active in his work and physical fitness.

The Clinton campaign later said she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, but had not disclosed the condition publicly and only told a very few people. Trump and Clinton have not allowed an outside verification of their doctors’ claims.
The document included a highly specific account of the diagnosis and treatment of Clinton’s bout with pneumonia, including the dehydration that led to her fainting on Sunday.
