Hillary Clinton’s doctor said she is recovering from her pneumonia and remains “healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States”. Clinton suffers from seasonal allergies that developed into pneumonia, according to her doctor.
Dr Bardack said Mrs Clinton was given antibiotics, was recovering well and was in excellent mental condition and fit to serve as president.
The two-page letter from Dr. Lisa Bardack added new details about Clinton’s illness and updated her medical history in the 14 months since the Democrat last provided a summary of her overall health. Tim Kaine, also released his health information in a letter from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the USA congressional physician. Tim Kaine, written by Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of the U.S. Congress that stated Kaine is in “overall excellent health”.
Clinton’s medical history included deep vein thrombosis in 1998 and 2009, an elbow fracture in 2009, and a blood clot discovered in followups to her 2012 concussion, Bardack said a year ago. Clinton was also treated in January for a sinus and ear infection.
“Over the next several days as she travelled, her congestion worsened and she developed a cough”.

She said she thought she “could power through It”, but that “didn’t work out so well”. She’s had two prior blood clots in her leg, once in 1998 and once in 2009.
Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump will also reveal the results of his own recent medical exam during a TV show set to be aired on Thursday, said a daily report by The Hill, a top USA political website. Earlier Wednesday, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News the results of Trump’s exam would be shared publicly “this week”.
According to the New York Times, they said that Dr. Oz, who focuses heavily on obesity, declared Mr. Trump “slightly overweight” and put his weight at 121kg, although the website Politico quoted other attendees saying that Mr. Trump had said his weight was 107kg.
