Question

What are the top five diagnoses on your differential at this point?

Answer 1

Cardiac dysrhythmias,  Anxiety / panic disorder, Anemia, Hyperthyroidism, Drug abuse (including caffeine).

Hyperthyroidism:

• The result of the thyroid gland producing more thyroid hormones than the body requires. The body's metabolism is influenced by thyroid hormones, which also regulate how the body consumes energy.
• Given the main outcomes of the case up to this point, all of the aforementioned diagnoses should be taken into account. According to what we currently know, hyperthyroidism is most likely.

In relation to Ms. Waters' particular symptoms:

• The existence of systemic symptoms, such as weight loss, oligomenorrhea, and loose stools, makes cardiac arrhythmias a less likely primary cause of Ms. Waters' symptoms. Systemic symptoms are NOT related with cardiac arrhythmias.
• It's possible that Ms. Waters has anxiety, but at the moment that doesn't explain all of her symptoms.
• None of the other signs of substance misuse are present in Ms. Waters, making it seem implausible even if it should be taken into account if no other explanation for her palpitations could be established. She has indicated that she consumes a moderate amount of caffeine, but patients could ignore sources of caffeine besides coffee and tea, such soda.
