PMH is positive for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a MI three years ago
followed by four-vessel coronary artery bypass surgery. The patient has been
asymptomatic since surgery with no complaints for chest pain
o No chest pain good because he is perfusing, when oxygen doesn’t get

no chest pain then his supply has met his demand.

Over the last three months PTA, Mr. Simon notes onset of SOB while
unloading groceries stairs, and other strenuous ADLs

high school track. He noted swelling in his feet ankles
o Swelling- a lot of extra fluid in the system
Four days PTA he woke at 2 am SOB and had to sleep in his recliner the rest
of the night. He has been unable to lay felt in the bed at night then and has
slept on 3 pillows
o Gravity pulls on all the fluid to the bases of the lungs, so it’s at the
bottom, causes gas exchange at those aveoli
o Gravity big factor
o When laying down all the fluid equalizes out in the whole lung field,
and then all the alveoli are effected
