CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton fainted during a lunchtime speech Monday in Buffalo, New York, but revived and continued her scheduled appearances, aides said.
"Indeed, our senator fainted -- hadn't felt well this morning and had a full day," Clinton chief of staff Tamera Luzzato said in an e-mail.
The senator's press secretary, Philippe Reines, said Clinton was suffering from a stomach virus during her talk.
"She felt weak, needed to sit down and then fainted briefly," Reines said. "She received immediate medical attention at the site and is now proceeding with her schedule as planned."
Clinton, 57, was giving a speech for a Democratic group of 150 people at the Saturn Club in Buffalo, said Vincent Tracy, the club's general manager.
Colleen DiPirro, head of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, said Clinton told the crowd that she had a stomach virus or food poisoning.
She began speaking, asked for a glass of water, continued with her remarks and then asked to sit down, DiPirro said.
Clinton then left the stage for a few minutes, returned to try to finish her speech and passed out for about 30 seconds, DiPirro said.
Secret Service agents surrounded the senator, she said.
Clinton did not go to a hospital, and no ambulance was called, sources said.
There were no cameras in the room when Clinton fainted, a club spokesman said.
The junior senator from New York is staying in the Buffalo area and plans to carry out her scheduled appearances, Luzzato said.
"Based on what we know, all is well and these things happen," she said.
The former first lady appeared about an hour later at Canisius College, a Jesuit school in Buffalo, where she delivered a speech on health care, a college spokesman said.
They didn't even have the story before they rushed to break it and interupt programming. Then they said she had just collapsed. "Collapsed"?
Now we know the real truth. She had a stomach bug, just like tens of thousands of other New Yorkers. She felt light headed and sat down. In other words she was DIZZY, that's all.
I hope the media can now relax.
I wonder if Barbra Boxer had been sick like this we would have had the same type of interuptions?
Did she hire Arafat's chef?
The media worships the Dems. I don't care who, they would hype it. I'll bet this story leads the Nightly MSM Old news.
The hospitals are treting this stomach bug with IV fluids. It's been "going around" in NY. It's no big deal unless the media thinks you're super important.
It was more like diarrhea of the mouth
I know, unbelievable...just because she was a little faint and dizzy and sat down. You'd think she was Queen or something.
Did Hillary spew pea soup after her head stopped spinning?
I guess she just need to sit for a minute. I'm glad it wasn't anything important like if she broke a nail, they'd have it on live news now.
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you
With fellas hangin' round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playin' hard to get
I'm goin' around in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you
And I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me
And kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
My head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
You're makin' me dizzy
You make me so dizzy
Yeah, I'm so dizzy

Do you mean "Try to Remember"?
Something like
"Try to remember
that day in December...."
Hillary: "I can't remember
that day in December..."
Paul Shanklin, I think.
you people are really sick. she is {whether you like it or not], the senator from N.Y. and N.Y.is the news center of the country. when are people going to stop showing their jealousy of the Clintons? The so called elite in this country still can not digest the fact that ordinary people have risen to equal them in their accomplishments, despite their lack of wealth and contacts. there are not too many people in this country with Hillary's intelligence.
