She reports feeling “dizzy” on and off for the past year; the dizziness is associated with weakness that has been worsening for the past month.

She has no significant medical history and has not been to a doctor in several years. She had a normal well-woman examination and screening colonoscopy about 5 years ago. She occasionally has an alcoholic drink and denies tobacco or drug use. She is married and is a retired shopkeeper. On examination, her blood pressure is 150/85 mm Hg; her pulse is 98 beats/min; her respiratory rate is 20 breaths/min; her temperature is 98.7°F (37.1°C); and her oxygen saturation is 99% on room air.
