He said the location of Clinton’s pneumonia, on the right side of her chest, was a common location and noted that Clinton has received the two pneumococcal vaccines that are recommended for people 65 and older.

Clinton has remained recovering at home since her Sunday health scare, when she appeared to almost pass out as she left a 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero.
The letter also describes medications that Clinton is taking, including a blood thinner and a medication for hypothyroidism.
Trump had another physical in recent days, and he went on the television set of celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz on Wednesday to disclose his new health records.
She has gotten the standard vaccine for bacterial pneumonia, but that only prevents certain strains, and wouldn’t protect her from picking up other strains from “shaking hands on a rope line”, Geltman said. She still takes the same two medications regularly, Armor Thyroid and Coumadin, as well as occasional doses of vitamin B12 and antihistamines, which Clinton said she “upped” last week to “try to break through” her seasonal allergies after suffering a coughing attack on stage. Her letter made no mention of her weight, a key part of a medical exam; nor did a similar letter released previous year.
Hillary Clinton hits the campaign trail once again Thursday after trying to put aside a badly handled health scare that rattled her bid for the United States presidency.
According to the Bloomberg poll, OH voters were very concerned about Clinton’s handling of her emails, her actions during the Benghazi attack, and the fact that the Clinton foundation accepted money from foreign governments during her time as secretary of state.
One reason Democrats shouldn’t completely panic just yet is that it is quite possible for Clinton to still win if she loses Ohio, Florida, and Nevada.
Bardack released Clinton’s laboratory results that showed “normal” readings for cholesterol, triglycerides and other key readings. “She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve”.
Clinton’s blood pressure of 100/70 and she has a heart rate of 70, according to Bardack.
“We’re offering ideas, not insults”, she said in a jab at her Republican rival. Her lab testing, the doctor added, was “normal”.
Clinton’s vitals were also roughly the same as those released past year, with a blood pressure of 100/70, compared with 100/65 in 2015, and a heart rate of 70, compared with 72 in 2015.
Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook contended that with the letter “the public now knows more about Hillary Clinton than almost anyone in public life”.
Questions about transparency and the medical health of both Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump have dominated the political world for days, in part because Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday but withheld the information from the media and even some of her top aides.
She is expected to return to the campaign trail with an event in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday.
Vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine is in “overall excellent health”, according to a letter the campaign also released Wednesday from his doctor, Brian Monahan, the attending physician of Congress.
“It’s a insane time we live in when people think there’s something unusual about getting the flu”, he said, making reference to the pneumonia, a spokesman said later.

The statement from the Oz program also said Trump’s physical was performed by Dr. Harold Bornstein, his personal physician, who in a letter past year proclaimed the real estate mogul would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. The letter said Kaine has never smoked and his alcohol use is “modest”.
