Please review the following case study and answer the following questions.
A
fifteen-year-old female presents to your clinic complaining of shortness of
breath and a nonproductive nocturnal cough. She states she used to feel this
way only with extreme exercise, but lately, she has felt this way continuously.
She denies any other upper respiratory symptoms, chest pain, gastrointestinal
symptoms, or urinary tract symptoms. Her past medical history is significant
only for seasonal allergies, for which she takes a nasal steroid spray but is
otherwise on no other medications. She has had no surgeries. Her mother has
allergies and eczema, and her father has high blood pressure. She is the only
child. She denies smoking and illegal drug use. On examination, she is in no
acute distress and her vital signs are: T 98.6, BP 120/80, pulse 80, and
respirations 20. Her head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat examinations are
essentially normal. Inspection of her anterior and posterior chest shows no
abnormalities. On auscultation of her chest, there is decreased air movement
and high-pitched whistling on expiration in all lobes. Percussion reveals
resonant lungs.
