The 70-year-old is listed as 6 foot 3 inches (1.9 metres) and weighs 236 pounds (107 kilos).

The disclosure came as her Republican rival Donald Trump released health data of his own on a medical chat show.

He said she would probably resume campaigning in the next few days.

Mrs Clinton said on Twitter she was "anxious" to return to the trail.

Hillary Clinton stumbles -- will her campaign follow?

Her swoon Sunday at muggy Ground Zero -- and damaging video of Clinton lurching into the arms of her security detail -- dramatically turned the state of her health from conservative conspiracy theory into a genuine campaign issue.

The episode also exacerbates questions about transparency that have long dogged Clinton's White House bid after the campaign revealed the Democratic nominee is suffering from pneumonia -- a fact it kept quiet since Friday.

Dr Lisa Bardack said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and given antibiotics, but had become dehydrated at the New York event.

"Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies. On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia," Dr Bardack's statement said.

The rivals are neck and neck in the key battleground states of Ohio and Florida.
