The Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is suffering from pneumonia, her personal doctor said after she fell ill at a September 11 memorial.

According to her aide, Clinton canceled a trip she was scheduled to take to California on Monday for fundraising and other campaign events due to her health.

Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement, that, "She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. 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."

A statement from campaign spokesman Nick Merrill subsequently said that, “Secretary Clinton  attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and 30 minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen.”

“During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better,” Merrill added.

Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile said she was encouraged that Clinton "already is feeling better" and looked "forward to seeing her back out on the campaign trail and continuing on the path to victory."

Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton in the past and now has a communications firm, said that, "After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event." "It was an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies."
