When you perform his assessment, he tells you he has been feeling weak and dizzy for several weeks and has had several "spells of chest pain." He says he has been laid off from his job and "thought maybe the stress was
causing him to feel bad." His wife added that on two occasions, including the incident today, he had complained of chest pain, then seemed to "black out," and would not respond to her calling his name.
