Case Study Evelyn, age 57, is a very active lady in the community. She volunteers at the hospital and also at her church. Lately she had been feeling weak and short of breath and has had some minor chest and leg pains. She has also been having headaches. She knows she is 20 pounds overweight but still has been able to get around fine without any significant trouble. Her physician told her that she has hypertension and some atherosclerosis. She was surprised to hear this because, until recently, she has felt fine. She asked him why she has these problems at this time. He stated that some of this is probably due to heredity but some is related to her lifestyle. 1. What is Evelyn's diagnoses? 2. Name four symptoms of Eveyin. 3.
