Hillary Clinton, 72, hasn’t spoken publicly about matters relating to her health. But in September 2016, her doctor Dr Lisa Bardack released medical records after the cancellation of a campaign trip to California.
Dr Bardack added: “She was treated with antibiotics for pneumonia and advised to rest.
“This was a milk non-contiguous bacterial pneumonia.”
Hillary’s campaign made the diagnosis public after she appeared to faint at a 9/11 memorial ceremony on September 11.
A video, which went viral at the time, showed the Democratic nominee stumbling on a curb before being lifted into a van.

After the indecent, Dr Bardack said: “While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated.
“I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely.”
Dr Bardack later admitted Mrs Clinton had actually been diagnosed with a prolonged “cough related to allergies” and had been advised to rest.
She later said: “She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States.
