Chief complaint "Pain on my chest" on and off for the past six months.

History of present illness Mr. Solomon is a 58 year old insurance broker who presents tonight in the office following an episode of "chest pain" that he experienced earlier in the day during a golf game. Although he minimizes the severity of the pain and attributes it to being "out of shape," his wife insisted that he see a physician because he has had similar episodes during the past six months.

Mr. Solomon describes the pain as being more of a discomfort or heaviness. It is localized to "my breast bone" and does not radiate. Today, following a brief rest, the pain subsided and he returned to his golf game. Previous episodes of the heavy feeling tended to occur following large meals and one occasion, while dancing at a wedding. None of the episodes lasted more than "several minutes."

Although Mr. Solomon did not experience nausea or vomiting today, he notes many episodes in the past of feeling a burning sensation in his chest. He describes the sensation as being "like acid behind my breast bone." This feeling occurs most often late at night when he lays down. Usually he has had a large meal or drank alcohol. The sensation does not radiate.

Patient's perspective: When asked about how he feels about these episodes, he admits to being concerned about his health and longevity, considering his father died at age 52 of "heart problems." He says, business is poor, my kid is always in trouble. "Who’s going to take care of things?"

Past Medical history: Not significant

Past Surgical History: None

Family History: Father died of "heart problems" at the age of 52.
