Setting Inpatient Cardiology Unit
Scenario MG is admitted to your general cardiology medicine unit and is diagnosed with recurrent idiopathic pericarditis.
Admission note taken on 10/19/25
CC “I feel like I am having a heart attack.”
HPI MG presents to the Emergency Department with chest pain upon inspiration that resolves when sitting forward and pain that radiates to her shoulders. The patient also reports a productive cough (white sputum), sneezing, a runny nose, headache, and a stuffy nose; patient is afebrile. Records indicate 6 weeks ago, MG reported similar symptoms and was diagnosed with acute idiopathic pericarditis at that time. You notice that she had been prescribed ibuprofen 600 mg PO TID PRN. MG claims that this has not helped her “inflammation around the heart,” and is still in pain. The patient also reports that she has gained about 4 lbs in the last week and a half, and is unsure as to why. Blood and sputum cultures were obtained this visit.

  • She states that her chest pain is very controlled since being started on her medication for angina and has no issues with her other medications.
