II. Chief Complaint (CC)

 "I’ve been having more frequent and severe headaches over the

past two months, and they’re interfering with my work."

,III. History of Present Illness (HPI)Jessica Lee, a 26-year-old Asian

American female, presents to the clinic with a chief complaint of

increasingly frequent and severe headaches for the past two months.

She describes the headaches as unilateral, pulsating, and located in the

right temporal region, rating them as 8/10 in severity. Each episode

lasts 6-12 hours and occurs 2-3 times per week, up from 1-2 times per

month previously. The headaches are associated with nausea,

photophobia, and phonophobia, and are aggravated by physical

activity. Jessica reports occasional visual disturbances (flashing lights)

preceding the headaches by 20-30 minutes. She denies vomiting, fever,

neck stiffness, or focal neurological symptoms (e.g., weakness,

numbness). Over-the-counter ibuprofen (400 mg) provides partial

relief, reducing pain to 4/10, but does not fully resolve symptoms.

Jessica associates the increased frequency with recent work stress as a

graphic designer, often working long hours at a computer. She denies

recent trauma, changes in vision, or new medications. Her last

, menstrual period was two weeks ago, and she notes headaches

sometimes worsen around menstruation.

 Medical Conditions: History of occasional headaches since age 18,

diagnosed as migraines by a previous provider.

 Surgeries: None.

 Hospitalizations: None.

contraceptive pills (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for 3 years.
