Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton released what her campaign called a comprehensive disclosure about her health that said she’s recovering from a bout of pneumonia and her vital signs are all within the normal range.

The Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign released an updated medical information which claimed that Clinton “continues to improve” after a pneumonia diagnosis.
Bardack evaluated the White House contender several times over the course of the past week and found that the “remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and [that] she is in excellent mental condition”.
Clinton’s health became a sudden focus of the presidential race after she abruptly left the event commemorating the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in NY and was later filmed stumbling and being helped into a van by her aides.
Bardack included the results of various tests Clinton has had in the past month, including her cholesterol level and blood pressure.
Mrs Clinton – who has been recuperating at her suburban NY home – was treated with an antibiotic called Levaquin, which she was prescribed for 10 days.
Clinton will spend her first day back on the trail campaigning in Greensboro, North Carolina, and speaking to a Hispanic group in Washington. And so, on Wednesday, Clinton released more of her medical records to reassure the public that she’s literally fit for the presidency – and not the ailing invalid of the (thoroughly unsubstantiated) narrative that her opponent and many of his supporters perpetuate.
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.
The health status of US presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is under the microscope as their bitter campaign intensifies. 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. The pneumonia was described as a “mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”, for which Clinton was advised to rest and take antibiotics.
A statement from the show said “Dr Oz took Mr Trump though a full review”, looking at his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history.
Trump’s campaign has said he will release additional medical information to the public in the coming days.
Bardack had released a two-page assessment of Clinton’s health in July 2015.
Bardack also said Clinton remains “healthy and fit to serve”.
One attendee said that the two did not talk in any detail about Trump’s health.
