After a brief rest in her daughter’s NY apartment following the event, Clinton emerged from the building unassisted, reassuring the crowd that she “felt great”.

When Clinton felt ill Sunday, she went to her daughter’s apartment in NY without the reporters who normally travel with her.
Her campaign did not immediately explain why the Democratic nominee did not reveal the pneumonia diagnosis prior to the Sunday incident, raising questions of transparency.
The pool accompanying Clinton says she left the ceremony around 9:30 a.m.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton waves as she leaves an apartment building Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, in NY. “Mrs. Clinton also tested negative for all clotting disorders”, the doctor said in a statement recently released by Clinton’s campaign.
“I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”.
Not trying to get political today, but this Hillary Clinton video isn’t a good one, assuming this is her?
There was no word from the campaign on whether she would go ahead with her plans to campaign in the Las Vegas area on Wednesday, or whether she might do other campaign events closer to home Monday and Tuesday.
Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., said he spent time before the ceremony chatting with Clinton and watching her sign autographs and take pictures.
Clinton and her campaign have dismissed recent rumors of ill health.
But the episode fuelled speculation from conservative political quarters about her health.
Clinton’s doctor past year essentially gave her a clean bill of health, stating she is in excellent physical condition.
Clinton later went to daughter Chelsea’s house nearby and emerged telling reporters that she felt much better. “She said she was suffering from seasonal allergies”, Tamara adds.
Past presidential candidates have released much more detailed information about their health than either Trump, 70, or Clinton, 68.
Mrs Clinton has previously disclosed a concussion incident in 2012 that left her with double-vision and a blood clot in her head.
Her absence was initially noted by press who noticed Clinton was no longer in attendance, but the campaign waited more than an hour to respond to requests concerning her whereabouts.

Clinton left her daughter’s apartment at about 11.45am, smiling and waving to a scrum of cameras and posing for a picture with a young girl before stepping into a campaign vehicle.
Since then, the doctor has told NBC News that he wrote the letter in about five minutes, saying he was “rushed” and “anxious” as a limousine was awaiting him.
