If asked, provide the following details:
Palpitations occur daily, especially when you are at rest.
Sweating is noticeable and often worse at night.
Weight loss has been unintentional, despite maintaining a normal appetite.
Your have not seen your menstrual period for 3 months. This is distressing because you recently got married and are hoping to conceive soon.
If asked about any other symptoms, say: “No.”
Social History: You recently got married and work as a primary school teacher. You do not smoke and only drink occasionally in social settings. You practice yoga regularly and report no significant stress aside from your current health concerns.
Ideas: You think it might be due to a hormonal imbalance, possibly something like PCOS.
Concerns: You are especially worried about the weight loss and missed periods, and how this might affect your fertility.
