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. She said that while sitting at home this week was “pretty much the last place I wanted to be”, the time helped clarify how she wants to close her campaign against Trump.
The nominee “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”, she wrote, noting she is in “excellent mental condition”.
In her speech in the battleground state of North Carolina, Clinton spoke in measured tones, but Brown’s wailed strains of “I Feel Good” rang out again as Clinton shook hands and posed for selfies along the rope line following her remarks.
Only bacterial pneumonia, not viral, can be treated with antibiotics.
Her campaign had been pressed to be more transparent about Clinton’s health, particularly after it failed to reveal her Friday pneumonia diagnosis until Sunday, when she almost collapsed as she left the Ground Zero site in NY.
A New York Times/CBS News poll released Thursday morning shows Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald tied in a four-way contest including Libertarian and Green Party candidates.
In a snippet teased on the site, Mehmet Oz – who is also a professor of surgery at Columbia University in NY – is seen asking Mr. Trump: “If your health is as strong as it seems. why not show your medical records?”

In a snippet teased on the site, Mehmet Oz – the show’s celebrity host who is also a professor of surgery – peppers Trump with questions about whether he has had any cancers, “skin issues”, stroke, or head injuries. Both candidates’ doctors declared them fit to serve as president.
Mr Trump, after releasing his health information, spent Thursday laying out plans to lower taxes by 4.4 trillion United States dollars over a decade and cut regulations, including some of those now meant to protect the food Americans eat and the air they breathe.
She takes thyroid and allergy medicines and the blood thinner Coumadin, prescribed after she suffered a blood clot resulting from a 2012 concussion.
The Clinton campaign said she would be holding a rally late Thursday in a building on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The show airs Thursday.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70.
The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment.
“We’re offering ideas, not insults”, she said in a jab at her Republican rival.
The letter from Clinton’s doctor made no mention of her weight, a key part of any medical exam, nor did a similar letter released past year. She has also had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter.
