She has cancelled a campaign trip to California due to the illness.

Hillary Clinton has been diagnosed with pneumonia, her doctor said on Sunday evening, hours after the Democratic presidential nominee appeared to have fainted at a 9/11 commemoration ceremony.

Clinton, 68, was diagnosed on Friday with pneumonia, and "was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule," Dr. Lisa Bardack said in a statement. "While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely," said Bardack, chairman of internal medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group. Following the news, a campaign spokesman said Clinton's trip to California was being cancelled, along with various fundraisers and TV appearances. https://twitter.com/danmericaCNN/status/775080497508708352
