She will deliver speeches in the coming days on the economy and national service, her campaign said.

Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis came at inopportune time for the former secretary of state, who spent the bulk of August fundraising in wealthy U.S. enclaves such as the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard, with only intermittent campaign events.
“Strong Together” is her official campaign slogan – and the title of a book she and her running mate, Sen.
Her husband Bill even admitted Mrs Clinton had experienced problems with dehydration and dizziness for several years. A CT scan “showed no abnormalities of the brain”.
After the episode, the campaign announced that she had been diagnosed two days earlier with pneumonia, something that had not been made public until then.
In her letter, Bardack wrote that Clinton was diagnosed with mild, non-contagious pneumonia and that she was in “excellent mental condition”.
After Clinton left Sunday’s Sept 11 ceremony early, a spokesman initially said only that she had felt overheated.
Republican nominee Donald Trump and surrogates such as former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani have seized on the conspiracies, declaring last month that Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on Isis”. She takes a thyroid medication and a blood thinner, Coumadin.
Clinton’s health was last detailed in a letter from Bardack released in July 2015.
Today, Trump filmed an appearance for tomorrow’s “Dr. Oz Show” to discuss the findings of a recent physical exam but did not reveal much more than his height (6 feet 3 inches) and weight (267 pounds). Trump, who is 70, will sit down with the television show host, who has long received flak from the medical community for plugging medical products with little scientific value, on Thursday.
Hey, not fair – that’s for Dr. Oz to decide.
The disclosure came as her Republican rival Donald Trump – in a media-savvy move – released new health data of his own during the taping of a nationally televised medical chat show set to air Thursday.
Respondents also overwhelming said they believe presidential candidates should be required to release letters from their doctor stating that they are physically and mentally fit to serve if elected, with two-thirds saying they should be required to release previous medical records to the public. Clinton’s congestion got worse and she developed a cough, wrote Bardack, saying Clinton was examined again September 9. He continues to hide his taxes and business dealing behind fake excuses.
Those questions won’t go away – feeding the suspicion among many Americans that both candidates have something to hide.
