She reports she has had shortness of breath for the last 2 weeks with a dry cough. She is 3 weeks status post an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. She has had lower extremity edema for the past 2 months, but it has worsened in the past 2 weeks. She denies chest pain but has had some lightheadedness. She has not had any syncope, fevers, chills, or leg pain. Her pregnancy was overall uneventful; however, she did have worsening of her chronic hypertension that required hydralazine.
