U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gives a thumbs up as she boards her campaign plane in White Plains, New York, United States September 15, 2016, to resume her campaign schedule following a bout with pneumonia.
Clinton released information from her doctor more than a year ago and provided updated information Wednesday following her pneumonia diagnosis.
“The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition”, the letter continued.
Clinton’s aides said she would return to the campaign trail on Thursday.
Trump, meanwhile, has said he is planning to release this week details of a recent physical.
But during a recording of an episode of the “Dr. Oz Show” in NY that will air on Thursday, Trump gave host Dr. Mehmet Oz a summary of a physical exam conducted last week.
He also appeared on a United States medical chat show, which aired on Thursday, to discuss his health.
Trump and Clinton each registered 42 percent support in a new CBS News/New York Times poll released Thursday of likely voters, while Libertarian Gary Johnson has 8 percent support and Green Party nominee Jill Stein has 4 percent. He discussed results of his physical ahead of the airing Wednesday of a taped interview with TV personality “Dr. Oz”.
Clinton has failed to provide the public access to her full medical records, but her opponent 70-year-old Donald Trump has been even more opaque even though he would be the oldest first-term president ever elected.
Sixty-five percent of likely voters said Clinton is not honest, and 55 percent said she was not honest enough to be president.
She was expected to be back on the campaign trail yesterday, after a three-day break, cancelling trips to California and Nevada. And Clinton’s campaign has sought to answer questions about the former secretary of state’s health, after Clinton was seen stumbling at the 9/11 memorial event in New York City. Bardack confirmed that Clinton had apparently ignored her advice to rest over the weekend. So the Clinton campaign’s releasing additional information to try to put the questions to bed.
The new letter from Clinton’s doctor stated that a chest scan revealed she had “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”.
Clinton’s blood pressure was 100/70 and she has a heart rate of 70, according to Bardack.
On Thursday, Donald Trump’s doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, released a letter to The Washington Post detailing the billionaire’s own medications, including a statin to lower his cholesterol. She has also had several allergy flares over the past year, which has been a typical pattern for most of her life.
The blood clot was said to have been in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.
