I'm embarrassed to have to ask this, but as a heading, which is correct--followup, follow-up, or follow up?

This is for a psych. consult. After saying "New paragraph", he says "Review of past medical records." and then launches into: Doctor diagnosed tachycardia..etc.
I haven't seen a consult. with a heading, main or sub, with Review of Past Medical Records. Past Medical History, yes, but not the other. Any ideas?

MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?
Subject: MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?
Newbie here. I'm typing an H&P and under instruction to supply appropriate headings & subheadings if they are not dictated, esp. in an H&P.
Under the Physical Examination, the Dr. dictated most headings, but under ABDOMEN, she continued with what I think is more of a musculoskeletal exam:
ABDOMEN: His abdomen is rotund, nontender, nondistended, and soft. He has no costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness to percussion. He has no thoracic tenderness to palpation. His pain begins at approximately L2 down to his sacrum, with pain greater down his right gluteus versus his left, but does have pain. He has slow movement and grimaces with any movement. He is able to stand. Decreased range of motion secondary to pain. Straight-leg reflex painful in both legs. Reflexes are diminished bilaterally.
Here is my question: I cannot find a precedent for adding the MUSCULOSKELETAL subheading. Yet beginning from "His pain" and following is not really under an ABDOMEN exam, is it? At the very least, I feel I should start a new paragraph, but then my format is messed up b/c everything else has a subheading!
Needless to say, it stresses me out a bit. Any advice is definitely appreciated!

it is part of the sentence and should not be capizalized, somewhat like saying that patient is coming in for a complete physical exam, would not need to capitalize.

doctor is dictating in paragraph form on the PHYSICAL EXAMINATION part sometime subheadings are givenhere it is: His vital signs his pulse is 112, his respirations are 14, his blood pressure is 157/86. His general appearance is he appears quite comfortable, his face is flushed. Non-toxic and no respiratory distress. His neck is supple, he demonstrates full motion of his neck without pain s/l orshe finds tenderness to palpatation. I believe this should be typed this way: VITAL SIGNS: Pulse is 112, respirations are 14, blood pressure is 157/86. GENERAL APPEARANCE: He appears quite uncomfortable, his face is flushed. Non-toxic and no respiratory distress. NECK: His neck is supple, he demonstrates full range motion of his neck without pain Or she finds tenderness to palpation. I would ask my instructors about these, it seems like every time I get graded each assignment it different.

H&P heading help again.. Past Medical History
Subject: H&P heading help again.. Past Medical History
dictator says: Past medical history for hypertension. Past surgical history is arthroscopy of his right knee. Allergies are to Demerol and Penicillin. Do I put Headings over each one and keep the exact dictation like this: PAST MEDICAL HISTORY (type under this title) Past medical history for hypertension OR just Hypertension. Other part of my question. ROS subheadings: dictator says this: Cardiovascular has a history of hypertension. do I need to put a colon in there and cap the Has? or leave as I have typed in bold? Do I add a subheading of GI/GU: for this sentence - No GI/GU problems. Does this sentence also need colon? Musculoskeletal I stated in the HPI. No neurological or hematological discorders. Thanks for any help, sorry if these seem like dumb questions...but I really need the help.

Have finally found second-hand descriptions of AV Moschcowitz's 1912 publication on rectal prolapse, attributing to him a description of female rectal prolapse and its association with abnormally high/deep cul-de-sac. Still can't find definitive reference, but this would seem to be a smoking gun.

Subject: re f-up or followup
Use followup for noun and adjective forms (hyphenated is acceptable alternative)ie, the patient did not return for followup.
For verb, only follow up is correct, ie, patient will follow up with her primary care doctor.
