Medical History
He tells one that he went to the ER three days ago for evaluation. The ER diagnosed him with sinusitis and treated him with an antibiotic and sent him home. He tells one that he was at the gym earlier today and had to sit down because he got "lightheaded" and thought he was going to pass out while walking on the treadmill. After a short rest, the "dizziness went away." When asked, he told one that he had similar episodes in the past when his "medications were adjusted." Patient is also concerned with peripheral edema that worsened when his meds were adjusted by his cardiologist; he denies shortness of breath. Patient states feeling constipated and since being treated for the sinus infection has been having trouble urinating, telling one he feels like he "has to go but it just won't come out." During his review of systems, patient tells one that he is "not sleeping well" for the past three months and thinks this is about when his Wellbutrin was increased. He has no appetite and feels "jittery at times."
