On edit:
It has just been reported that she is being treated for pneumonia and is doing well.
Not epilepsy, Parkinson's, MS, or any of the other chronic and debilitating conditions the RWers wanted her to have.

People who want Hillary Clinton to be unfit to be president have spent months—years—trotting out several diagnoses to claim her unfitness. Among them is epilepsy, which seems to be favored in that crowd, while another is dementia. Neither, of course, has anything to do with what we can see on that video. One does not “faint” when having a seizure, for example.
One can, however, feel overheated and faint. I was just at an indoor show that was pretty crowded when the fellow in front of me dropped like his bones had turned to rubber. People helped him out into an airy waiting area and got him some water. Within a few minutes, he’d recovered and was back in the venue, staying for the remaining 2 hours of the show. He did not, however, have to release any statements about his health. He was also the second man I’d seen just in that evening who’d fainted in a crowded, warm place.
Feeling faint with heat or even fainting because of it isn’t the same thing as “heat stroke.” It’s known as “heat syncope.” Unlike some assertions people are making about it now, yes, you can recover your equilibrium from it pretty quickly once you get a chance to cool down and rest for a bit. Fainting is usually the result of a drop in blood pressure or change in heart rate that reduces the blood reaching the brain, as occurs in people of all ages with sudden or prolonged standing or being overheated. Lying down and restoring that circulation is a pretty rapid fix.
Clinton’s campaign already released a statement saying that her feeling of faintness was because of feeling overheated. She was wearing black on a warm morning, and millions of people have had the exact same experience, with no ominous aftermath.

Based on the Twitter response and glut of stories within an hour of the episode, some in the press see smoke in this event and think there’s a fire. But would they if Trump and his supporters and those who preceded him hadn’t already worked so hard to plant exactly that kind of reaction to Clinton’s every possible misstep or stumble, literal or figurative?
Hard to say, but the same tactic has already worked on the more gullible members of the media who follow the false narrative threads about Clinton’s various scandals that turn out to be nonscandals.

This in a nutshell explains the uptick in concern trolling today.
