The medical problem list you have compiled should be a list that includes everything that is out of the ordinary about this patient, even when it is not a "problem" in the true sense of the word.
In this case, the most significant active problem (MSAP) is acute-onset dyspnea. The fact that the problem had such an acute onset is the single most important factor that should influence your thought process in developing a differential diagnosis. This problem is explained by her mild hypoxemia, measured on her finger pulse-oxygen measurement of 90%.
Looking through the problem list, her complaint of near syncope or lightheadedness is best explained by hypotension, so these problems are linked also had an acute onset.
Focusing on the acute aspects of the presentation, you should be considering problems in the heart and lungs that present acutely. For cardiac pathologies, it is important to look at her risk factors. She is postmenopausal, obese, sedentary and a long-time heavy smoker. Thus, she has markedly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In this regard, it is important to remember that woman can have unusual presentations of MIs and that they can be “silent” or without pain in individuals with longstanding diabetes. Transient ischemia or angina can also be “silent” in patients with diabetes and can present with signs of acute onset congestive heart failure.
