He denies associated symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. The patient’s past medical history is significant for hypertension and hyperlipidemia for which he takes amlodipine and atorvastatin. His family history is significant for lung cancer in his father. The patient is a current smoker with a 20-pack-year smoking history and drinks 3-5 beers per week. His temperature is 98.5°F (36.9°C), blood pressure is 127/78 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 16/min, and oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. Initial laboratory testing is as follows:
