“This last week, I took a physical, and I’ll be releasing when the numbers come in”, Trump told Fox News.

“The pneumonia is the extent of it”, spokesman Brian Fallon told MSNBC a day after the 68-year-old Clinton fell ill at a 9/11 memorial event in NY and her campaign subsequently announced she was diagnosed Friday with pneumonia.
The former secretary of state on Sunday morning abruptly left a 9/11 memorial in NY and her campaign initially told reporters that Clinton had been “overheated”.
Trump said Clinton’s medical episode had turned the candidates’ health into “an issue” in the campaign.
Hillary Clinton on Monday sought to control the fallout from a media swirl around her health after she wobbled away from a 9/11 ceremony and her campaign said she had pneumonia. Clinton answered, “I think really only twice, that I can recall”.
Asked how Democrats were reacting to Clinton’s collapse at the 9/11 memorial ceremony Sunday, Roberts said that “people are angry at the lack of transparency”. “And you know I think it’s fair to say that people know more about me than nearly anyone in public life”.
Campaign press secretary Brian Fallon acknowledged that mistakes were made and said the campaign could have handled the situation better.
15 months ago, a two-page medical report detailed her most serious health issue, with her doctor writing that in December 2012, “Mrs. Clinton suffered a stomach virus after traveling, became dehydrated, fainted and sustained a concussion”.
Health speculations were kindled last week when Clinton trailed off into a coughing attack during her first press conference in almost nine months.
“On Friday, during a follow-up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia”, Bardack said on Sunday evening, adding, “She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule”.
As Clinton recovers from the illness, her campaign said there is nothing to be concerned about. “And as soon as I got into the air-conditioned van, I cooled off, I got some water, and very quickly I felt better”.
Mrs Clinton was scheduled to attend fundraisers on Monday and Tuesday in California, as well as appear on the Ellen DeGeneres talk show.
The Clinton campaign is going to release more records about Hillary’s health. “I feel great. But when the numbers come in, I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers”.
Clinton released information on the state of her health last summer.

Mrs Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, will be “campaigning in Nevada on the secretary’s behalf on Wednesday”, an aide to the former president said in a statement released by the campaign. “I don’t know what’s going on”.
