"Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday released in-depth information from her medical records, including her personal physician saying “she is in excellent mental condition.”
Dr. Lisa Bardack said she examined Clinton several times this week following her pneumonia diagnosis on Friday and said “the remainder of her complete physical was normal."
Bardack, Clinton's personal doctor, said she found a "mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia."
The rest of the physical exam "was normal and she is in excellent mental condition,” Bardack said in a letter released to the press. The entire letter is posted below.
"My overall impression is that Mrs. Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia," Bardack wrote.
"She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States."
Clinton’s blood pressure was 100/70, her heart rate was 70 and her cholesterol was 189 at a recent physical, Bardack said.
She is using the prescription medication Levaquin to treat the pneumonia.
The release of Clinton’s records came hours after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump revealed the results of his own recent medical exam during a taping of “The Dr. Oz Show.” The show will air Thursday.
Trump was seeking to put pressure on Clinton, 68, after she faced scrutiny for not revealing her pneumonia diagnosis until after she suffered a health incident in public over the weekend.
Clinton stumbled and had trouble entering a van at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in New York on Sunday.
It was only after video surfaced that Clinton’s campaign acknowledged she was diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier.
Clinton, who is still recovering from pneumonia, had said she’d release a more detailed medical report as Trump continued to question her stamina to serve as president. She plans to return to the campaign trail on Thursday.
Clinton has already released a note from her doctor about follow-up testing in 2013 that showed she fully recovered from a concussion and that she tested negative for clotting disorders.
Trump’s questioning has fanned rumors surrounding Clinton’s health, but the real estate mogul has also received scrutiny about his own health.
The only medical information released publicly on Trump so far is a short, often-mocked letter from his doctor saying he would be the healthiest president ever."
Clinton releases medical records
Trump apparently gave another report to Dr. Oz to read during is show. Of course Dr. Oz has gotten in some serious trouble over promoting fraudulent products that don't work on his show. So it's no surprise that Donald Trump would want Dr. Oz to give out the report, versus his own doctors signing off on it.

Trump is considered Obese, being 35 pounds overweight at 267 pounds, and well above a normal BMI (body mass index) 198-232 pounds. He states he doesn't exercise and loves fast food, especially KFC.
