Hillary Clinton’s campaign released additional medical information Wednesday after questions about her health intensified in the wake of her pneumonia diagnosis late last week.

With polls tightening in the USA presidential race, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton returned to the campaign trail Thursday after taking several days off to battle a case of pneumonia.
Bardack did the right tests for her pneumonia and “she’s being treated appropriately”, said Dr. Mark Creager, director of the Dartmouth-Hitchkock heart and vascular center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and a past president of the American Heart Association. She was then prescribed a 10-day course of the antibiotic Levaquin and rest.
News of Trump’s media-savvy appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” – though it appeared to reveal little detail – flooded the United States airwaves on Wednesday, upping the pressure on Clinton to share more health data before returning to the trail Thursday with appearances in North Carolina and Washington.
“The drop in polls – it’s not just a Donald Trump surge, but it’s also attributed to the video of her that was released”, he said.
After Clinton was seen stumbling limp-legged into her vehicle Sunday at Ground Zero, it took several hours for her personal physician to disclose she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier, drawing criticism of her campaign’s transparency.
The most recent public polls in Rust Belt cousins of OH, including MI and Wisconsin, were taken before Clinton’s gaffe and showed Trump within 5 and 3 points of Clinton respectively.
“He loves this guy”, Obama further said of Trump’s alleged relationship with Putin, adding that the real estate mogul was “out there praising a guy, saying he’s a strong leader, because he invades smaller countries, jails his opponents, controls the press, and drives his economy into a recession”.
In Florida, Clinton tops Trump by 6 points among those under age 45 who are likely to turn out in November, and in Ohio, Clinton and Trump are about even among this group. It’s her first public appearance since Sunday, when she abruptly left a 9/11 memorial service in NY after feeling becoming dizzy and dehydrated.
“It’s great to be back on the campaign trail”.
The former first lady has just suffered perhaps the worst week of her 15-month quest to become the first female USA president.
“Very few people knew about it at the time”, recalled Dr. Connie Mariano in her autobiography.
Although McLennan said she doesn’t have concerns that Clinton would be “too sick” to serve if elected, she is unsure about the former secretary of state’s mental fitness.
“I’ve always said that this is going to be a tight race”. The letter – the first substantial update on her health in more than a year – details the medications she is taking, her cholesterol levels and other results from a physical exam.

For many months, the Clinton campaign has assumed that Trump’s fundamental operating strategy was deeply flawed. But voters will have to wait another day for details: The show does not air until Thursday. “… You see, I have this old-fashioned notion that if you are running for president, you should say what you plan to do, how you are going to get it done and how you are going to pay for it”, she said. “Dr. Oz was very, very impressed”, said Matthew Stevens, who also was in the audience.
