Makes no sense:: 1- has not seen a physician in 30 years- no basis of comparison. 2- he was discharged with elevated cardiac enzymes and shortness of breath? I suggest a cardiology consultation.

Cardiologist : Please. Ask your PCP to evaluate him for cardiac conditions. A prescription for Nitroglycerin may be indicated.
