New patient consultation

Subjective

This 32-year-old female was referred to me by Dr. Keating from the
Emergency Room last weekend. She does not currently have a family
practitioner and would like to establish care with me as such. She
is presenting with complaints of chest pain and shakiness. She has
had previous episodes for approximately four years, suddenly worse
over the last couple of weeks, increasing in intensity and
frequency, without any triggers. These episodes are often
accompanied by SOB and feelings of panic, shakiness, and sweaty
palms. She has not been treated for this. She reports feelings of
depression on and off for most of her life and has a strong family
history of this as well as family history of diabetes, heart
disease, and thyroid disorders. She denies suicidal thoughts. She
has trouble sleeping occasionally and fatigue. The patient drinks
occasionally and smokes 1- 2 packs per day. Current meds: none.
NKDA. No G.I. or GU complaints. Her past medical history is
