A 37-yeаr-оld wоmаn presents tо the hospitаl with difficulty swallowing food. Her vitals are as follows: blood pressure 131/88 mmHg, temperature 98.6°F, heart rate 77 bpm, and respiratory rate 24 breaths/min. The physical exam notes muscle spasms of the tongue and throat. The patient has a history of schizophrenia and was recently prescribed a new medication for treatment. Which of the following is the most likely side effect of the medication in this patient?

A 24-yeаr-оld wоmаn presents tо her primаry care provider with concerns about recurrent episodes of palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, and feeling like she is "outside of her own body." The symptoms resolve within minutes, and she cannot relate the episodes to a specific trigger, noting they are non-exertional, but she does feel like she could be dying when the episodes occur. She is otherwise in good health with no prior psychiatric diagnosis and has no family history of cardiovascular disease. She is a non-smoker and denies drug use. Her physical exam reveals a regular heart rate and rhythm, with no concerns regarding lung sounds, and an electrocardiogram reveals normal sinus rhythm. Further laboratory evaluation is ordered for review on follow-up. She is interested in discussing treatment options as she is developing persistent worry about where and when the next episode will occur. Still, she has objections to psychotherapy, specifically noting she does not have the time to see another provider continually, and she wonders if psychotherapy is as effective as medication. What is the most important information to convey to this patient in counseling?
