admitting history - cardiology
This is from an admitting history of a patient suffering from chest pain:
"Presenta dolor en región torácica, tipo opresivo de intensidad 6/10, *sin acompañantes ni atenuantes* con duración de 8 minutos, por lo que decide acudir a urgencias ... " etc.
I can guess that "acompañantes" refers to some sort of additional symptoms (maybe the word "sintomas" is understood?) but I think this must have a specific meaning (specific type of symptoms); and combined with "atenuantes" in the same phrase I can't figure out what the corresponding wording would be in English.
What are these "acompañantes y atenuantes"?
Thanks again for your help.

Note from asker:
| Oops ... I see I didn't respond to this in time ... and yes, this is the answer I would have selected. And I think I used a slightly different translation for "atenuantes" but can't find the document now! Anyway, thanks again Liz. |

: "alleviators" seems to be used as well (taken from a web search on "chest pain" + "alleviators")

without any other accompanying/related symptom or explanation
Hi Joseph! I agree that 'symptoms' is implied. I'm guessing at the second part, but I think a fairly good guess.

: "Explanation" is not an "atenuante" in Spanish Medical jargon.

without any other accompanying symptoms or respite
..from the intensity of the pain being experienced in the thorax;
13 hrs
With no exaccerbating or relieving factors....+/- no associated symptoms
As part of the history-taking for pain, the doctor should ask about associated symptoms (eg for chest pain, shortness of breath at the same time). They should also ask about exaccerbating and relieving factors (ie what makes it better and what makes it worse to the patient).
In English they tend to be phrased like that, ie "exaccerbating and relieving factors" and "associated symptoms" which doesn´t quite match 100% with the order in the Spanish version here, but that would be how I´d say it in a direct English version.

In this case I suppose you would leave out the "exaccerbating factors"

Características del Dolor
Not sure if your question refers to "signos" or "síntomas" here, or perhaps it's both:
Síntomas acompañantes: Como náuseas, vómitos, diarrea, fiebre, temblor, etc.
Signos acompañantes: Sudoración, palidez, escalofríos, trastornos neurológicos, etc.
Factores agravantes: Son las circunstancias que aumentan el dolor, por ejemplo tras la ingesta, determinados movimientos, etc.
Factores atenuantes: Son las circunstancias que disminuyen el dolor, por ejemplo el descanso, posiciones corporales.
