was feeling just fine. In addition, he was very busy with work. Nevertheless, he felt tired after
work and developed dyspnea while climbing the stairs. Recently, he had a bout of epistaxis
(severe nose bleed) with dizziness and blurred vision. He went to the doctor for a checkup. His
blood pressure was 180/110, and the doctor found rales or crackles on his chest upon
auscultation. The doctor ordered rest and asked him to start his medication again.

report and follow the APA guidelines. Citations in the text are required, preferably at the
