Answer & Explanation:Tom is a 47 year old male who presents with gradual onset of
dyspnea on exertion and fatigue. He also complains of frequent dyspepsia with
nausea and occasional epigastric pain. So far you only know that he has a
history of alcohol abuse.
He says he has not had his usual energy levels for months;
dyspnea has become much worse in the last few weeks which is why he came in.

He states he has occasional episodes of hematemesis after drinking heavily, and
subsequently has had several days of dark stools. Tom consumes up to 2
six-packs of beer a day for the past 8 years since losing his job. Nothing
seems to make his breathing any better, but antacids help with is epigastric
discomfort and dyspepsia.
