He states, “I thought maybe I had slept wrong and gotten a spasm, but I’m not sure. I didn’t fall or get hit or anything. The ibuprofen I took definitely didn’t help.” His blood pressure is 174/96 mmHg and heart rate is 96 bpm. He reports being out of his antihypertensive medication for the past week while he was out of town. Other history is notable for arthritis in the hands and a 44-pack-year smoking history.
