Mrs Clinton’s doctors say she made a full recovery from surgery she underwent in 2012 for a blood clot.

She smiled and waved at the news cameras and said “I’m feeling great” as she left her daughter Chelsea’s NY apartment.
According to her campaign, Clinton had a rest in her daughter’s apartment in Manhattan.
Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s physician, issued a statement saying the former secretary of state had been overheated. “I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”, Bardack said in the statement late Sunday afternoon.
Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been diagnosed with pneumonia by her doctor, and she will not be travelling to California as planned for campaigning on on Monday and Tuesday.
Questions about the health of Hillary Clinton have dogged the campaign of the presidential candidate and hit a fever pitch when the former First Lady apparently collapsed Sunday while appearing at a 9/11 memorial ceremony in Manhattan.
Clinton exited the apartment on her own shortly before noon.
Clinton then went to her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., where she was attended to by Bardack. “It’s a attractive day in NY”.
Video footage showed the candidate stumble as she was helped into her vehicle, and she needed to be held up on both sides by members of her entourage. Her knees buckled, and she appeared to lose her shoe. She got overheated! But she’s fine now! Clinton is 68 years old while Trump is two years older.
The incident compounds an already hard stretch for Clinton as the presidential race enters its final stretch. Clinton was expected to stay for most of the ceremony’s duration.
Clinton had been seeking to bounce back from a blunder on Friday, when she told donors that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables”. However, the effort to paint her as unwell has traded in a variety of wild rumors, with Trump surrogates openly speculating about varied maladies they think Clinton could be dealing with.
The shocking news of Clinton’s condition comes 57 days before the presidential election.
She noted that Sunday’s event was Clinton’s second health-related incident in a week. Her doctor attributed that episode to a stomach virus and dehydration.
Clinton was a NY senator at the time that the World Trade Centers fell, the Pentagon roiled in flames, and Flight 93 smoldered in that Shanksville, Pennsylvania, field.
It was a humid day in NY, with temperatures around 28 Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit).
“She seemed fine”, said Rep. Peter King, a Republican from NY.
“It was stiflingly hot”. The person “said something like, ‘We’re going to move now, ‘” Crowley said. “I had to leave myself”.
She had to take cough drops and drank water while the audience waited for her to recover. The statement notably does not say whether Clinton received any medical attention at Chelsea’s apartment, which is about a 15-minute drive from Ground Zero. Trump issued her a challenge, in an August tweet, to release her medical records. Tamara is seeking comment from the Clinton campaign about the authenticity of this footage, as well as further information about the incident.
Margaret Talev, a senior White House correspondent for Bloomberg, also confirmed that Clinton had left the event.
