 Dyspnea

 Known diabetic x 15 years  Initially presented with 3 P’s & weight loss  Prescribed with Glibenclamide 5mg BID however with poor compliance

 Known hypertensive x 5 years  HBP 150/100  UBP 120/90  No medications taken

 1 year PTC  patient noticed easy fatigability usually after simple household chores associated with dyspnea on exertion  She also experienced occasional chest heaviness lasting almost the whole day aggravated by work and relieved temporarily by rest

 3 months PTC  noted worsening of symptoms hence had herself an ECG and Chest Xray in a nearby laboratory clinic  However, results revealed “within normal limits” on ECG and “Atheromatous Aorta” on Xray hence decided not to seek medical consult

 Persistence of dyspnea as well as easy fatigability prompted consult.  (-) cough, colds, orthopnea, PND, edema  (-)
