In a bid to prevent further questions about her health, Hillary Clinton today released an updated medical record after a bout of pneumonia with her doctor saying she is “fit to serve” as USA president, as her fitness remained the main focus for the race to White House. According to audience reports from the taping of the show in NY on Wednesday, Trump also expressed some personal remorse about his weight – he will reportedly reveal his weight on the show – and eating too much fast food on the campaign trail. She had been diagnosed with pneumonia Friday, but the campaign informed the public only after the video of an ill Clinton emerged.

Ahead of her return to the campaign trail after a few days of rest due to a pneumonia diagnosis, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has released more health information. He talked about Clinton’s health and wished her a speedy recovery, as he has said in recent interviews.
The letter says the illness stemmed from seasonal allergies that developed into an upper respiratory tract infection.
According to Bardack’s letter, she saw Clinton on September 2 for a low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue.
Dr Bardack also said Mrs Clinton has been taking the anti-coagulant Coumadin, and that her blood levels “have been relatively stable”.
Her illness became public after she left Sunday’s 9/11 memorial service in NY early and was seen on video staggering while getting into a van. She found that Clinton was “re-hydrating and recovering nicely”. “Mrs. Clinton has since been evaluated by me several times and continues to improve”.
Hillary Clinton on Thursday told reporters she was “doing great” as she returned to the campaign trail after recovering from pneumonia that sidelined her for three days.
In a move to jump-start momentum, Clinton’s campaign announced Thursday that US senators Elizabeth Warren of MA and Bernie Sanders of Vermont will campaign for her Saturday in the battleground state of Ohio.
Clinton has been slipping in the polls since the pneumonia diagnosis, which her staff publicized on Sunday. Today just 22 percent of people in the USA believe that her health is above average, down from 29 percent in late August. She remained symptom-free for six months, according to the letter.
Bardack said Hillary’s cholesterol and blood pressure are within normal ranges.
But, in a seeming admission that the former secretary of state is struggling against her unconventional rival, Ms Palmieri admitted that Mrs Clinton’s policy proposals were failing to resonate. She also takes a thyroid medication, as well as a blood thinner. She receives routine dental care, had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter.

In the press release with Trump’s medical results, his campaign took a veiled shot at Clinton, noting the Republican was healthy enough to campaign “uninterrupted”.
