Hilary ClintonU.S. Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, says that her health is much better, a day after falling ill at a 9/11 commemoration.

Reports say she had kept her pneumonia diagnosis from most of her staff, but chose to tell only family and close aides.

In a telephone interview with the CNN, she said that she had not disclosed a recent diagnosis because she just did not think it was going to be that big a deal.

Mrs Clinton also confessed that she had ignored a doctor’s “wise” advice to rest for five days.

Her republican opponent, Donald Trump, noted that health had now become “an issue” in the campaign.

However, Mrs Clinton’s campaign team said they would be releasing new medical records to help ease concerns about her health.

On Monday, Mrs Clinton canceled a trip she was scheduled to take to California for fundraising and other campaign events.

Mrs Clinton fell ill at a September 11 memorial, an episode that renewed focus on her health less than two months before the election.

Reuters reported that Clinton, 68, was diagnosed on Friday but her condition only came to light several hours after a video on social media appeared to show her swaying and her knees buckling before being helped into a motorcade as she left the memorial early Sunday.
