He did not go to the hospital. He was told if it worsened he could go to the urgent care. The day before this report, patient felt great, he took only 225 mg of Ibuprofen. He also said the pain, only seemed to happen when he woke up in the morning, dull pain in chest towards the center. He relayed that he only had a small amount of pain at injection site. Pain came and went. For most of the day, he didn't feel it. Dull pain was there in the morning in his chest area. It was usually in the morning when it happened. Pain was about the same, but it was a situation where when it came, it still felt the same as when it first started, but it subsided quicker and didn't last as long. Not like the pain was during the whole day. It was just 5-15 minutes. Contacted the nurse that was affiliated with the clinic, she was an advice nurse. Talked to the advice nurse yesterday morning and she said there was an urgent care that he could go and follow up at. Didn't go this morning. He wanted to see how he felt this morning. Felt predominantly the same. Woke up at night and didn't feel the pain, but around 6-7 a.m. was when the pain came. Slept on his side primarily, so he laid on his back, but still felt that dull pain. Had reached out to his physician's advice nurse and said that he should follow up at urgent care if the pain got worse.
