Abstract:
A 37-year-old Hispanic woman complained of having awakened with a tingling sensation, followed by sudden weakness, in both legs. A month earlier, she had experienced heart palpitations but had not had chest pain or dyspnea. She had lost 10 lb in the last two months despite an increased appetite and no polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting, or diarrhea.
