Clinical Notes
SOAP Note
Subjective:
The patient reports feeling a strange tightness in the chest for about three weeks, especially after physical activities like climbing stairs or walking briskly. Initially thought to be stress or fatigue-related, the discomfort has been increasing in frequency. The tightness is mainly centralized in the chest and typically subsides after resting. Additionally, the patient experiences quick shortness of breath and occasional lightheadedness.
Objective:
No specific objective findings provided in the transcription.
Assessment:
Based on the patient's symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness, along with a history of high blood pressure and a family history of heart disease, there is concern for angina or cardiovascular issues. The doctor mentioned the need for further evaluation through an ECG and stress test to assess the heart's condition and determine the appropriate management.
Plan:
- Perform an ECG and stress test to evaluate the heart's function and blood flow.
- Depending on the test results, consider medication and lifestyle modifications.
- Discuss potential lifestyle changes, including adopting a heart-healthy diet, stress management techniques, medication adherence, and smoking cessation if applicable.
