Here’s a comprehensive Full History of Present Illness (HPI) for your Week 3 i-Human case: 60-year-old
female presenting with shortness of breath. This is structured in a detailed, clinically appropriate way,
ready for documentation:
History of Present Illness (HPI)
The patient is a 60-year-old female who presents with shortness of breath (dyspnea) that started
gradually over the past two weeks. She reports that the dyspnea is worse with exertion (e.g., walking
up stairs or carrying groceries) and occasionally occurs at rest. She notes orthopnea, requiring two
pillows at night to sleep comfortably, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) approximately 1–2
times per week.
