Endocrine System Concept Map

CC: 51-year-old Caucasian female complains of racing heart and unexplained weight loss.

HPI: She states symptoms have been becoming more noticeable over the last year. She has lost about 10 pounds without trying over about 12 months. Although it may be because she is working more. Complains of feeling heart racing and fluttering sensation in her chest. Happens most every day but started out occasionally. Denies any chest pain. Denies having been ill or having COVID over the past two years. Thought it might be stress related or too much coffee. She stopped drinking coffee about four months ago, but symptoms have continued. Stress in life is minimal. Sleep is not refreshing; gets about 7 hours a night. Occasional hot flashes at random times of day and night. Chalks it up to menopause.

Create a list of three to five differential diagnosis (or you may develop a VINDICATE differential list if preferred) based on the patient's presentation, HPI, and PE.

Create a pathophysiology concept map/flow chart. In that flow chart compare and contrast these two diagnoses documenting how the two diagnoses are similar in looking at their symptoms, physical examination and labs, and document how the two diagnoses are different.

Save your flow chart to a file type that can be opened and viewed by your course instructor, that links the case patient's symptom presentation and your chosen diagnosis.

Analyze and write a brief paragraph or list indicating what your differential diagnoses list could include (list all other possible diagnoses) if your patient is (1) 10 years old or if the patient were (2) a male patient (ie. how might your DDX change?). Use evidence based information with citations to support your answers.

Note: Certain boxes are certain colors indicating, sx, complications and goals and their relationships (arrows).
