After some USA media reported she had fallen ill, reporters travelling with the candidate did not get an immediate response from the campaign to questions about her whereabouts and her health.

Clinton was diagnosed on Friday with pneumonia, and “was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule”, Dr. Lisa Bardack said in a statement, reported CNN.
On Sunday, video showed Mrs Clinton being supported by aides as she entered a van to leave the 9/11 ceremony after an hour and 30 minutes.
“I think it’s exceedingly important that Hillary Clinton be transparent about what’s going on”, said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley.
Clinton appeared better as she walked out of her daughter Chelsea’s home a few hours later, smiling for the media and posing for pictures with a young girl before departing for Chappaqua.
Donald Trump and his presidential campaign will have nothing to say about Democrat Hillary Clinton’s health woes, two United States media outlets reported on Monday.
“It’s a attractive day in NY”, she added, while smiling and waving to supporters on the street before getting into her motorcade.
Plans for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to come to California Monday and Tuesday for a planned series of campaign fundraisers were canceled Sunday following a diagnosis of pneumonia.
“She should release the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches”. Two Secret Service agents come to her aid and, according to the Times, close-up images seem to show Clinton’s feet dragging as the agents lift her into the van. He said “it would not be a bad move” for the campaign to release further medical information.
She made a full recovery from surgery she underwent in 2012 for a blood clot, the doctor said. “Without examining, without having the history. you don’t have a basis to say anything”.
Clinton’s health has been a lingering source of speculation among her critics, dating to well before she announced her second White House campaign.
Based on the available information, he said, “this should not in any way impede her function going forward”.
Last year, Clinton’s campaign released a letter from Bardack attesting to the former secretary of state’s good health.
They realize that this is a mess of Clinton’s own creating, and that how she deals with it could have far-reaching ramifications for the balance of the race.
Last month, Trump told rally attendees in OH he believed Clinton lacked “the mental and physical stamina” to be commander-in-chief.
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.
Clinton has no known drug allergies, does not smoke, use tobacco products or illicit drugs and drinks occasionally, according to Bardack, who also details her exercise regime: yoga, swimming, walking and weight training.
Trump also attended the memorial service.
She has deep vein thrombosis, which requires her to take a daily dose of a blood thinner that needs frequent testing.
He followed up Monday by saying in an interview on “Fox and Friends” that he hoped she “gets well soon”.

Add in the possibility of fever, shortness of breath or other possible symptoms from pneumonia, and you have a constellation of factors that could have explained her feeling weak on Sunday, she said.
