Chest pressure    History and physical exam consistent with chest pressure with dyspnea.  EKG shows nonspecific T wave changes.  Although I see no acute ischemic changes, she does have risk factors for heart disease and is complaining about worsening dyspnea on exertion and I therefore encouraged her to go to the emergency department for blood work to verify that this is not cardiogenic.  Symptoms could likely be due to her respiratory illness but given her history of hypertension and family history of heart disease, feel a set of troponins is indicated.  Patient is agreeable and states she will go to emergency department.  She does have her sister with her who is driving. Patient does not appear to be toxic or dehydrated and vital signs are stable.
