Tina Jones Cardiovascular Documentation | Cardiovascular Results | Completed>Ms. Jones is a pleasant 28-year-old African American woman who presented to the clinic with complaints of 3-4 episodes of rapid heart rate over the last month. She is a good historian. She describes these episodes as “thumping in her chest” with a heart rate that is “way faster than usual”. She does not associate the rapid heart rate with a specific event, but notes that they usually occur about once per week in the morning on her commute to class. The episodes generally last between 5 and 10 minutes and resolve spontaneously. She does not know her normal heart rate or her heart rate during these episodes. She denies chest pain during the episodes, but does endorse discomfort of 3/10 which she attributes to associated anxiety regarding her rapid heart rate. She denies shortness of breath. She denies any association of symptoms with exertion. She has no known cardiac history and has never had episodes prior to this last month. She has not attempted any treatment at home and states that she is only coming to the clinic today because her family has expressed concern regarding these episodes.
