He was seen in another ED for epigastric discomfort and occasional shortness of breath 2 days prior. He was discharged with PMD follow up and a prescription for lansoprazole. While filling the script, the patient began to feel the same epigastric pain, with shortness of breath and broke out into a cold sweat. The patient has no medical problems, allergies or surgeries.
