Medical scenario

Switching gears here.
Here's a good medical call.
The site I got this from has several different diagnosis from its members.
Let's see what the members here come up with.

A 44-year-old woman in moderate respiratory distress for the past two days, she had experienced mild respiratory difficulty, Nausea/vomiting and intermittent vertigo and tinnitus for three days and a headache and back pain for the last week. Her children had complained to her that "she was getting deaf." Low grade temp and has been “In a really bad mood” She appears restless and slightly diaphoretic, Lethargic when not stimulated. Denies Drug or ETOH intake, states she “Can’t remember what meds she has taken today”

PMHX- Bipolar, Sciatica, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Cardiac w/ 1 stent, HTN

MEDS- Lithium, HCTZ, ASA, Seroquel, Ibuprofen, Gabapentin, OTC Herbals, Indocin
