Mrs. Wilson is seen in her room at Glenbridge Nursing Home on 02/28/2018. She had an episode last night of chest pain. She is so ebullient and distracted that it is hard to get a straight history, it came on when she was asleep but she may been sitting up. She was seen by a nurse, a sat was taken. I am not sure if there were other orders taken, but there is none on the chart. She says that she spent most of this morning in the bed and still feels tired, but she does not think she broke out in a sweat. She was more short of breath. She is calling it is a "stroke."
