She stopped writing and went to the kitchen and had some fruit juice. Her lightheaded sensation did not resolve. In fact, it worsened. She began to feel her heart âracing and flopping around.â She called her husband who came home from work and then brought her to the ED. She reluctantly admits to some mild chest discomfort. PJ states that she is 72 years old and has never felt this way before. The only medication she takes is Levoxyl 0.025 mg daily, and she has taken this for many years. She has never smoked, has never had surgery, and has no other medical problems. PATIENT 4 BJ is a 60­year­old male with acute onset severe dyspnea. His BP has been in the 160/98 range. There is intermittent SVT and he was admitted to the ICU. There is a history of CAD not requiring intervention other than Lipitor and a history of TIA. He denies chest pain.
