Ms Clinton spent about 90 minutes at the 9/11 event on Sunday, standing alongside numerous other dignitaries, including New York’s Democratic senators Chuck Schumer and Kirstin Gillibrand.

Dr. Lisa Bardack says in a statement that Clinton is “recovering nicely” after attending a September 11 anniversary event in lower Manhattan. But there’s no denying Clinton’s “overheating” episode at such a high profile event couldn’t have come at a worse time for her campaign.
“I’m feeling great”, she said, according to reporters outside the building.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, diagnosed with pneumonia, became overheated and fell ill at a September 11 memorial ceremony in an episode that renewed focus on her health less than two months before USA voters to elect their next president.
Last week, Clinton began her speech at a rally in Cleveland with a coughing fit. Clinton was being treated with antibiotics and had been “advised to rest and modify her schedule”, the doctor said.
A video surfaced that showed her appearing to stumble into a black van with the help of aides as she departed.
Ms Clinton’s doctor reported she is fully recovered from the concussion, which led to temporary double vision and discovery of a blood clot in a vein in the space between her brain and skull.
“During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better”, it added.
NY temperatures on Sunday were in the low 80s, with humidity in the mid-40s.
With less than sixty days until the election, neither Clinton nor Donald Trump has allowed for what’s known as a “protective pool”, a rotating group of reporters that travel with a candidate in order to provide a minute-to-minute account of their activities.
Before heading for her home in Chappaqua, in NY state, she said: “I’m feeling great”.
There are also fake medical records circulating on conservative Internet websites and Fox News’ Sean Hannity recently played footage of Clinton vigorously shaking her head to avoid answering a question from her press corps that he said was “seizure-esque”.
The Clinton campaign has accused the Trump campaign of pushing a “deranged conspiracy about Clinton’s health”. An aide recovered the shoe from beneath the van which left the venue about an hour after she arrived.
A law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that the Democratic nominee was taken to Chelsea Clinton’s downtown Manhattan apartment by her campaign detail.
Democratic Representative Joe Crowley of NY, a Clinton supporter who attended the event, told MSNBC television that it was “stifling” during the ceremony.
Trump’s personal physician has said Trump is in excellent physical and mental health. The letter said Clinton at the time took medication to treat hypothyroidism and blood thinners to prevent clots.
Trump has also been under pressure to release detailed information on his health and medical history.
While Donald Trump picks fights on Twitter and divides his own party.
