S. (Subjective)
CC – Mild “heartburn” after eating a large meal for at least
2 years.
Background: Mr. M.J. is a 64-year-old patient of Hispanic
descent who presents to the clinic today with concerns about epigastric and
substernal pain that has gotten progressively worse over the past 3 months. He
has tried over the counter products occasionally with adequate response. Three
months ago, he was awakened with severe burning discomfort that extended from
his mid-chest to his jaw that lasted 30 minutes before he was able to fall back
to sleep. He is now experiencing these attacks about 3 times per week. He has
tried avoiding large meals and is now sleeping on two pillows at night to
relieve his pain which has improved his pain. The pain now occurs regularly
after meals and randomly during the day. He takes antacids with each meal, but
the pain still persists. Overall, he considers himself to be very healthy.
