She states she had bouts of dizziness over three days with increasing nausea to the point that she had a couple bouts of vomiting this morning. She reports that she fainted once as a result of her symptoms, but is unable to recall any details of the episode only what witnesses told her. She is currently being treated for hypertension with atenolol HCTZ. She occasionally uses Tylenol for joint stiffness and occasionally has a cocktail with friends.
