2- CC Abdominal pain x 2 months
- PMH 49 y/o AAM with h/o abdominal pain x 2
months. - Pain is epigastric, constant, severe, disturbs
sleep, no radiation, worse with meals and
associated with early satiety. - Associated with nausea, had emesis x 2 two months
ago. - He reports black stools for 2 weeks but denies
BRBPR. - He has had poor PO intake and reports losing gt 20
lbs over 2 months. - He also c/o constipation.
