Assessment & Plan:
Chest Pain
- Diagnosis: Atypical chest pain, suspected angina pectoris
- Differential Diagnosis: Gastroesophageal reflux disease, musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism.
- Planned Investigations: Electrocardiogram (ECG) immediately, cardiac enzymes (troponin I, CK-MB), chest X-ray, complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel (BMP). Exercise stress test to be considered if initial workup is negative.
- Treatment Plan: Aspirin 300mg stat (if not contraindicated), sublingual glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) for pain relief, rest. Education on warning signs of myocardial infarction and when to seek urgent care. Lifestyle modifications including diet and exercise discussed.
- Referrals: Cardiology referral for further evaluation.
Fatigue
- Diagnosis: Generalised fatigue, likely multifactorial.
- Differential Diagnosis: Anaemia, hypothyroidism, sleep disorder, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, nutritional deficiencies.
- Planned Investigations: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D levels. Sleep study referral if indicated after initial blood work.
- Treatment Plan: Encourage consistent sleep schedule, balanced diet, moderate exercise. Review medications for potential side effects. Follow-up in 2 weeks to review blood test results and discuss sleep hygiene.
- Referrals: None at this time.

(Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, or next steps—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as reference for all information. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned, do not state that in the output; simply leave the relevant placeholder or section out entirely. Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to capture all relevant information from the transcript.)
