The patient is also complaining of a runny nose, cough, and head/chest congestion. He has a history of chronic atrial fibrillation and is currently prescribed and taking warfarin. Approximately 3 weeks previously, he started taking over-the-counter cimetidine for heartburn he was experiencing.  Below is a list of the patient’s medications, his physical examination, and his laboratory findings:
