Answer: check her medical history to see if she has had these issues before during your physical exam alway check above and below the area the patient is complaining about. So for sinuses palpate the sinus drainage passage with the digits of your fingers. For below palpate the back of the neck ask if there’s any tenderness or pain also examine the throat and check the lymph nodes and tonsils. Do an oral exam look at the tonsils tongue teeth look for any inflammation or redness. Look in the nasal cavity to see if you see a deviated septum dryness bleeding any blockage after a full physical exam like that order your x-ray which would typically not be done on an acute patient with these symptoms but in a patient with chronic issues continuing I would immediately get a consult to a specialist which in her case would be an ENT( ears,nose,throat). A simple clinical treatment for sinus issues would to just put the patient on a antihistamine some examples are (Benadryl, Allegra and Clara tin) I’d recommend the patient follow up within a week to see if that helped at all and then if not follow through with the plan I set in place above. If you do place the patient on an antibiotic I would recommend (amoxicillin).

Answer:

1.) Abnormal parameters:

  • Difficulty focusing (confusion)
  • Elevated heart rate (tachycardia), with thready and weak pulse quality
  • Elevated respiratory rate (tachypnea). Rapid and shallow respiration.
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia)
  • Low serum sodium (hyponatremia)
  • High serum potassium (hyperkalemia)
  • High ACTH
  • Low cortisol (hypocortisolism) (Note: this lab values are obtained normally at 8am, due to its physiological curve)

2.) Addison’s disease

  • Confusion: Hyponatremia causes confusion, due to neuronal imbalance.
  • Tachycardia: Inmediate response to hypotension, so as to maintain a adequate cardiac output.
  • Tachypnea: Hyperkalemia produces an acid-base imbalance (acidemia), which normally can be compensated by changes in the respiratory rate.
  • Hypotension: hyponatremia produces reduced water retention in blood vessels, affecting blood pressure
  • Hypoglycemia: hypocortisolism directly affects blood glucose (decreased gluconeogenesis)
  • Hyponatremia: Sodium retention will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone,
  • Hyperkalemia: Potassium excretion will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone.
  • High ACTH: No negative feedback inhibits the production of ACTH (depends on cortisol level).
  • Hypocortisolism: Due to the non functioning cortex of adrenal gland, no cortisol is being produced.

Explanation:

Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal insufficiency, is a set of characteristic signs and symptom caused by the failure of the adrenal gland to produce steroid hormones, mainly Cortisol and in some cases Aldosterone.  This syndrome presents various causes, incluiding autoinmune disease, infectious, and infiltration by cancerous cells.
