Patient Scotty P. Orpen, a 76 year-old female with a history of MI (1984), PVD, CVA, DVT, and supraglottic laryngeal SCC who underwent XRT in 2002, presented to the ED with "stabbing pins" CP which initially started next to the L breast in the midaxillary line that radiated to her breast, sternum, neck, and back around to the L midaxillary line. The patient was given ASA, NTG (partial relief, but dropped BP), heparin bolus &amp; cont infusion, FAMOTIDINE 20 MG PO BID, LASIX (FUROSEMIDE) 80 MG PO QD, MOTRIN (IBUPROFEN) 300 MG PO Q6H, ZOCOR (SIMVASTATIN) 20 MG PO QHS, ECASA (ASPIRIN ENTERIC COATED) 325 MG PO QD, and MAALOX-TABLETS QUICK DISSOLVE/CHEWABLE 1-2 TAB PO Q6H PRN Upset Stomach. The patient was also instructed to take the syrup form of MOTRIN with food, and to avoid grapefruit with ZOCOR unless otherwise instructed by the MD. The patient was given a low cholesterol/low saturated fat diet and a 2 gram sodium diet, and instructed to resume regular exercise. The rib film preliminary read was without fracture but did have some loss of height of vertebral bodies suggestive of compression fractures which she was treated with Motrin for muscular pain. The suspicion for CHF and PE was low and no anticoagulation was given, and she was ruled out for MI while in the house. Her pain was thought to be musculoskeletal in origin and was treated with NSAIDS. The patient was discharged with instructions to follow up with Dr. Haddow within 1 week of discharge, to call for an appointment, and to continue to take all of her medications as directed.
