Hillary Clinton battled a sinus condition so bad that she had surgery and a follow-up brain scan - but never told voters - her doctor revealed for the first time on Wednesday evening.
The Democratic candidate's health records were partially released after days of prevarication by her campaign and her collapse at New York's 9/11 memorial on Sunday.
But instead of ending speculation over her physical well-being, they contained a bombshell revelation that she had kept secret a condition so serious it led to surgery.
They revealed that in January she was suffering sinusitis and an ear infection for which she was given antibiotics and steroids.
The condition was diagnosed in the run up to the Iowa caucuses, the first electoral test for the candidate - but voters in the state were told nothing of what was wrong with her.
The condition is detailed in the letter from her physician, Dr Lisa Bardack, which then says that she continued to suffer ear pain.
Her ENT doctor, who has not been named, then examined her and she had a myringotomy tube placed in her ear to drain fluid. It appeared to alleviate her condition.
The letter does not spell out that this was a surgical procedure. It was followed in March by a brain scan, Dr Bardack discloses.
'This scan showed no abnormalities of the brain and mild chronic sinusitis,' Dr Bardack wrote.
'The symptoms resolved and she continued symptom-free for the next six months.'
The disclosure came five days after she was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia - a full diagnosis which was only revealed on Wednesday, as well.
It came in a letter Wednesday evening that was posted to Clinton's campaign website, written on official letterhead for Dr Lisa Bardack, he personal physician.
It detailed that she first came to see Dr Bardack on Friday, September 2 - a week before the campaign had previously acknowledged.
At that time she was diagnosed with a 'low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue' and told to see her doctor when she returned from a campaign trip.
a week later, she returned to Dr Bardack. A chest CT scan revealed signs of pneumonia,and she was given a 10-day course of antibiotics to treat the condition, that her daughter Chelsea says she didn't know about either until Sunday.
'The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition,' Bardack's letter stated.
Clinton stayed off the campaign trail the two days following her initial visit with Bardack. She made her maiden voyage on her campaign plane on Monday to Ohio despite .
At the Labor Day event she suffered a prolonged coughing fit that she chalked up to an allergic reaction to her opponent. She told reporters the next day that she upped her antihistimines in response and would be better by the middle of the week.
