Elderly patient has recently stopped using some of her medications "just because" and hearsay about adverse effects. To our knowledge she's still and already on #β-Blockers and #ACE-inhibitors, but I'm a bit scared what her situation with #Hypertension might become if she suddenly decides to skip them too. (sent her to ward just to make sure)
