Your patient is a 69-year-old female with a past medical history significant for seizure disorder, hypothyroidism, anxiety, and frequent urinary tract infections. She presents with a four-day history of generalized weakness to the point where she can no longer walk without assistance. Additionally, she has shortness of breath that worsens with exertion. She is anxious, and feels like she is about to have a seizure. You hear her say, “I have this feeling of impending doom.” And there it is. This lady has a PE. You nailed it!
