The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment.
Additional health records released with the letter show that Clinton’s cholesterol and blood pressure are within normal ranges. Clinton “is recovering well with antibiotics and rest” from her bout with pneumonia, she added. In a Monday night interview on CNN, Clinton said she did not share her condition earlier because she “didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal” and called on the press to hold Donald Trump to the “same standard” of transparency.
For her part, Clinton is trying to make up for her wobbly appearance at a 9/11 event and pneumonia diagnosis. The bacteria the vaccines protect against can cause pneumonia, although it’s not clear what caused Clinton’s pneumonia.
Hillary Clinton also released her medical records on Wednesday in an attempt to quiet speculation about her health following an incident on Sunday where she almost fainted.
Both candidates, among the oldest ever to run for the White House, were under intense pressure to share more medical information after Clinton fell ill during a 9/11 ceremony in NY on Sunday and was forced to leave.
She “is recovering well with antibiotics and rest” after being laid low over the weekend, when she suffered from fatigue and a low-grade fever, although her vital signs remained normal, Ms. Bardack said. After a short rest she is expected to return to the campaign trail on Thursday.
He exclaimed to a cheering crowd it was “good to be back on the campaign trail”.
“Mr Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint, not give a political speech”, said the pastor, Faith Green Timmons.
Trump, 70, has faced calls to release a more exhaustive version of his medical history, after medical experts called into question the legitimacy of a hastily written assessment Bornstein issued a year ago, that asserted Trump “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. Trump has since said that he would release more medical information from a physical he received last week.
On Wednesday, Trump taped an episode of the Dr. Oz Show, in which he discussed his overall health with host Mehmet Oz.
Clinton has taken the blood-thinner Coumadin at least since a year ago.
Clinton’s health has been under scrutiny, with many conspiracy theorists arguing she could be suffering from Parkinson’s disease, cancer or another illness. She said she thought she “could power through It”, but that “didn’t work out so well”.

In addition to the antibiotics for her pneumonia, Clinton takes three regular medications – Armour Thyroid, used to treat hypothyroidism and other thyroid disorders; Coumadin, which can prevent and treat blood clots; and Clarinex, an allergy medication – and vitamin B-12 as needed. The letter detailed her pneumonia diagnosis and declared her fit for the presidency. She has since been given a clean bill of health.
