Hillary Clinton released more detailed medical information Wednesday that describes the form of pneumonia she’s been diagnosed with as a mild, non-contagious bacterial infection. A New York Times/CBS News poll released on Thursday showed Clinton had the support of 46 percent of likely voters nationwide, with 44 percent backing Trump. “She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”, she continued.

The latest disclosure about Mrs Clinton’s health came after Donald Trump revealed details of his most recent health report on a US TV show, in an encounter which will be broadcast on Thursday. He said giving a speech is “a lot of work” and requires “a lot of motion”.
The Republican presidential nominee shared information about the exam just hours after his campaign signaled he would only talk about health matters in a very general sense. Clinton’s campaign said she promptly recovered, though she took a few days to rest at home on the advice of her doctor.
“She had two-and-a-half hard days before the day she got dizzy”.
However, both Trump and Oz touted discussing the Republican presidential candidate’s health on the show after Hillary Clinton fell ill Sunday at a 9/11 commemoration in NY.
Facing criticism for her lack of transparency, Clinton has promised to release additional medical records.
Bardack said that Clinton was diagnosed by CT scan with “mild, noncontagious, and bacterial” pneumonia on September 9, adding that she is taking the antibiotic Levaquin to treat it and has been advised to rest so that she can properly recover.
Bardack added that Clinton “is recovering well with antibiotics”, including Levaquin, which she was told to take for 10 days.
Bardack also said Clinton’s vaccinations remained up to date – including Prevnar and Pneumovax, she said, which both help prevent pneumonia.
At her Chappaqua home on Tuesday, where a small group of reporters stood watch, she received six floral deliveries throughout the day.
‘The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition, ‘ the letter said. Lab testing (vitamin D, CBC, fasting blood glucose, comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1-C, vitamin B-12) is “normal”, including cholesterol of 189, LDL of 103, HDL of 56 and triglycerides of 159.
She takes thyroid and allergy medicines and the blood thinner Coumadin, prescribed as a preventative after she suffered a blood clot resulting from a 2012 concussion.
The blood clot was said to have been in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.
That changed Sunday after Clinton left a 9/11 memorial ceremony early and video caught her almost collapsing and having to be helped into her van as she left.

Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate Tim Kaine was also in the crosshairs of the controversy after former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland told a rally the candidate was “wonderfully prepared.to be the president if that ever became necessary”.
