Clinical Notes
Patient Identifier: Not provided
Date of Visit: Not provided
Time of Visit: Not provided
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 mostly centralized in the chest and typically resolves after resting. Additionally, the patient experiences quick shortness of breath and occasional lightheadedness.
Objective:
- No objective findings provided.
Assessment:
Possible angina due to reduced blood flow to the heart, considering the patient's symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness. Increased risk due to a history of high blood pressure and a family history of heart disease (father had a heart attack in his early 50s).
Plan:
- Perform an ECG, echocardiogram, and a stress test to evaluate the heart's performance.
- Emphasize lifestyle modifications including a heart-healthy diet, light exercise, stress management, and medication compliance.
- Schedule follow-up to review test results and discuss further management options.
- Advise the patient to avoid heavy exertion until further evaluation is completed.
