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 a few minutes of rest. Additionally, the patient experiences quick shortness of breath and has a history of high blood pressure.
Objective:
- No objective findings provided in the transcription.
Assessment:
The patient's symptoms of chest tightness, particularly with exertion, and associated shortness of breath raise concerns for angina due to potential reduced blood flow to the heart. The presence of high blood pressure and a family history of heart disease further heightens the risk. Further evaluation with an ECG and stress test is recommended to assess cardiac function and determine the appropriate management.
Plan:
- Conduct an ECG and stress test to evaluate cardiac function and assess for angina.
- Depending on 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 relevant.
