He thinks he last was feeling at baseline about 10d ago, since then, he has noted progressively worsening fatigue, dyspnea, prod cough. He recently went deer hunting, which only involved minimal walking but otherwise just sitting in the blind for long hours. He returned from hunting, felt extremely fatigued and per son, he did not look good, who insisted that he go to ER. Typically, he is able to ambulate without much difficulty, but recently he is unable to ambulate even20ft without excessive dyspnea.  Angina is chronic, both exertional and non exertional. Its midline and radiates to left axilla. Relieved by rest and ntg. He gets it everyday, and overall, is about the same.  He has had diminished appetite resulting in diminished oral intake.  He reports associated productive cough with rattling sensation in his chest.  He denies fevers or sweats, but has had intermittent chills.  His chronic angina has not been substantially increased from baseline, and he denies notable increase in chronic peripheral edema.   In the ER, he was afebrile, normotensive, with normal HR, elevated RR but normal SpO2 on RA alone.  Initial labs are notable for critical troponin with negative delta (194 à 180 -- > 161), elevated proBNP, stable renal dysfunction, and positive COVID screen.  EKG shows NSR with LBBB, without significant change from prior studies.  CXR showed no acute process, and CTA thorax revealed no PE but identified bilateral pulmonary opacities c/w COVID-19 pneumonia.  Cardiology was contacted from the ER and, though they felt his troponinemia likely signified type 2 NSTEMI (related to demand ischemia), recommended low intensity IV heparin infusion.   Presently, he feels about he same as when he came in.    in-house:  patient admitted for NSTEMI; also has COVID-19 PNA. did not receive any treatment for COVID as he was on room air for the most part; only seemed to need oxygen at night. he did have fevers here, was advised to treat these at home with tylenol. cardiology saw him, rec'd medical management with increase in imdur and start of cozaar.   at the time of departure patient was in good spirits and had no objections to discharge. only complaint was a cough. all questions and concerns addressed, all meds and follow-ups reviewed. advised to talk about getting a sleep study with his PCP.
