During the last month he has noticed some weakness, particularly in his legs, climbing hills and stairs. He is a smoker of 20 cigarettes per day and drinks around 10 units of alcohol each week. There is no relevant family history. His past medical history consists of hypertension which was treated for 2 years with beta-blockers. He stopped taking these 4 months ago.
