After an hour and a half in hot, humid conditions, Mrs Clinton left the event and an onlooker’s video appeared to show her legs buckling as aides and secret service officers helped her into her vehicle. Trump supporters have been tweeting unsubstantiated theories regarding Clinton’s health under the hashtag #HillarysHealth.

Trump, 70, has said Clinton is “not strong enough to be president” and that she “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS”.
She’s called the claims part of a “wacky strategy” cooked up by rival Donald Trump as he embraced what she says is an “alternative reality”. “It’s a attractive day in NY”.
The issue of Hillary Clinton’s health has moved to the centre of her election campaign after her doctor said she had pneumonia, hours after she stumbled and felt unwell at a 9/11 memorial service.
Her doctor said Sunday evening that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated at the event in lower Manhattan.
Her Doctor, Lisa Bardack, said “I have just examined here and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”.
For example, John McCain, the failed 2008 Republican presidential nominee, allowed reporters to see 1,173 pages of medical records after concerns were raised about a cancer scare.
Neither Clinton nor Trump has released anything approaching that level of detail.
Last month Dr Bardack said she was “in excellent health and fit to serve as president of the United States”.
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. Trump’s personal physician has said the Republican presidential nominee is in excellent health both physically and mentally.
Bardack said testing the following year showed “complete resolution” of the concussion’s effects, including double vision, for which Clinton wore glasses with specialized lenses to address. She was helped into the van.
Aging researcher S. Jay Olshansky, of the University of IL at Chicago, said Sunday that age alone shouldn’t be a disqualifier for presidential candidates. Our “concept of old”, he stressed, has changed. He said he was sweating through his shirt. “We shouldn’t be judging people based on their age, but based on their ideas”.
“Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies”.
Clinton walked out of daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment on her own and made only a brief comment to the reporters waiting outside, saying “It’s a handsome day in NY”. She drank water and took a lozenge at the podium, going on to finish her remarks.
As a result she was unable to testify as scheduled before Congressional committees investigating the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.
Hillary Clinton has called off a campaign visit to California after suffering a health episode at the September 11 memorial in NY. He plans to discuss his health regimen this week during an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show”.
What was supposed to be a quiet NY weekend for Hillary Clinton turned into a tumultuous and potentially damaging 48-hour stretch during which she was forced to retract an inflammatory generalization about her opponent’s supporters and confront new questions about her health.

Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile wished Clinton “a speedy recovery”, adding that “I look forward to seeing her back out on the campaign trail and continuing on the path to victory”.
