Clinton was at home in Chappaqua, New York for a third straight day Wednesday, recovering from a health scare that has rocked her bid to become’s America’s first woman president.
Many critics have raised concerns about Clinton’s health, some accusing her of hiding a serious illness and pointing to her frequent cough as evidence that she may be unfit to serve a full term as commander in chief.
Clinton, 68, recently underwent a complete physical exam, which found her blood pressure was 100/70, her heart rate was 70 and her cholesterol was 189, Bardack said. She was put on a short course of antibiotics, and advised to rest and continue taking her medication for seasonal allergies.
A video surfaced on social media that appeared to show Clinton stumbling as she’s assisted into a Secret Service vehicle when she leaves the ceremony.
Clinton told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday that she meant to return to her campaign schedule “in the next couple of days”. “I examined her immediately upon her return home; she was re-hydrating and recovering nicely”. Also expected in Wednesday’s release are the results of additional lab tests as well as a normal annual mammogram.
At an event in Las Vegas, Bill Clinton said he was pleased to stand in for his wife – but then confused everyone by saying she had the flu. It took several hours for her personal physician to disclose she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier, raising tough questions about her campaign’s transparency.
Mr. Trump taped an appearance on Dr. Mehmet Oz’s television show Wednesday. After an embarrassing round of press involving Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis, the Democratic nominee’s team released some medical reports.
Trump has said he plans to release the details of a recent physical this week. They said Trump handed Oz a one-page summary of the physical exam he had last week. So far, the businessman has only released a widely mocked letter from his longtime physician declaring he would be the healthiest president in history.
Clinton’s health was last detailed in a letter from Bardack released in July 2015. The doctor toldNBC News that he wrote the letter in five minutes as Mr. Trump’s limo idled outside his office. The Republican candidate generally got a good review of his health from Oz.
