Here's the answer to 3.1 IC


The patient is a 33-year-old Asian female whose chief complaint is recurrent frontal and bilateral temporal headaches for the past two months. Occasionally, her headaches are accompanied by near syncope when she feels like she is “going to pass out.” She describes her headaches as a  #6 on a 0-10 pain scale and states that they are relieved by Tylenol. Pt. also c/o insomnia and dyspepsia for the past two months. Pt. manages a boutique and states that she has been “under a lot of stress” for the past two months. Since her physical examination was normal, it is most likely that her symptoms are stress-related.
