NEW YORK, NY -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in a New York hospital where she is being treated for a blood clot.
A spokesman says doctors started giving her anti-coagulants, or blood thinners, on Sunday and they will monitor her condition for the next 48 hours.
In a statement her office said “In the course of a follow-up exam, doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago."
The 65-year-old fainted earlier this month because she became dehydrated while battling a stomach virus. The illness forced Clinton to cancel a trip overseas and delay testimony in front of congress about the attack on the U-S consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton is winding down her time as Secretary of State and she is scheduled to step down next month.
