Mrs Clinton, 65, fell and suffered a concussion while at home alone in mid-December, 2012, as she recovered from a stomach virus that left her severely dehydrated. The concussion was diagnosed on December 13, 2012, and Mrs Clinton was forced to cancel a trip to North Africa and the Middle East that had been planned for the following week.
According to medical experts, a clot in a lung or the brain is more serious. Lung clots, called Pulmonary embolisms, can be deadly, and a clot in the brain can cause a stroke.
Keeping Mrs Clinton in the hospital for a few days could allow doctors to perform more tests to determine why the clot formed, and to rule out a heart problem or other condition that may have led to it.
