ASSESSMENT/PLAN:
1. Chest pain. The patient will evaluate when it happens next; what she has been eating, what activities she has been performing. She had normal ECG one year ago. In fact this does not sound cardiac in nature. We will not do further cardiac workup at this time. Did discuss with her she may be having some GI reflux type symptoms.
2. Hypothyroidism. We will recheck TSH to make sure she is on the right amount of medication at this time, making adjustments as needed.
3. Rheumatoid arthritis. Continue her methotrexate as prescribed by Dr. Mortensen, and follow up with Dr. XYZ as needed.
4. Osteoporosis. It is time for her to have a repeat DEXA at this time and that will be scheduled.
5. Health care maintenance, Pap smear was obtained today. The patient will be scheduled for mammogram.
