Clinton’s doctor says 2016 candidate in “excellent” health

The Clinton campaign released a statement from her doctor, Lisa Bardack of Mount Kisco, New York, that detailed the health status of Clinton, the front-runner to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 presidential election.

The health statement says the blood clot, also known as a thrombosis, that Clinton suffered between her brain and skull following a fainting spell and concussion in late 2012 is completely resolved.

Bardack said testing the following year showed “complete resolution” of the concussion’s effects, including double vision, which she wore glasses with specialized lenses to address.

But as a precaution, Clinton remains on daily blood thinners, something her husband previously revealed.

Mrs. Clinton is the first presidential candidate in this election cycle to make public a medical letter about her fitness for office. Though they are not required to do so, major candidates often submit them as a matter of course – as they do their tax returns – as part of the unofficial pre-election vetting procedure.

She also suffers from seasonal pollen allergies and hypothyroidism, a common ailment among women over 60.

Today, Clinton’s medications include the blood thinner Coumadin, as well as Armour Thyroid, antihistamines and Vitamin B12, known to boost energy. “She exercises regularly, including yoga, swimming, walking and weight training”. She does not smoke and drinks alcohol “occasionally”, Bardack wrote. Her heart rate was 72 and her EKG was normal. Clinton’s most recent physical was conducted on March 21, and “revealed a healthy-appearing female”. This number dates back to 1977.

The couple released their 2014 personal financial disclosure form earlier this year, which details that Hillary and Bill Clinton have made more than $30 million since January 2014, largely from paid speeches.

Clinton tax returns and health statement were released by her campaign just as the State Department dropped the next batch of her emails on its Freedom of Information Act site.
