History of Present Problem:
JoAnn Smith is a 68-year-old woman who presents to the emergency department (ED) after having three days of
progressive weakness. She denies chest pain, but admits to shortness of breath (SOB) that increases with activity. She
also has epigastric pain with nausea that has been intermittent for 20-30 minutes over the last three days. She reports that
her epigastric pain has gotten worse and is now radiating into her neck. Her husband called 9-1-1 and she was transported
to the hospital by emergency medical services (EMS).

Personal/Social History:
JoAnn is a recently retired math teacher who continues to substitute teach part-time. She is physically active and lives
independently with her spouse in her own home. She has smoked 1 pack per day the past 40 years. JoAnn appears
anxious and immediately asks repeatedly for her husband upon arrival.
