HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Patient is a 56 y.o. female who presented to the Emergency Department due to chest pain. She has experienced this pain each evening for the past 3 evenings, and states that it starts in her right arm then migrates through her shoulder and across to her chest. The pain can last for anywhere from 5 minutes to 4 hours. This has come on at rest, but in the setting increased personal life stressors as well as uncontrolled hypertension. She states that she is normally on hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension, but ran out of this medication about a week ago. When she checked her blood pressure at home it was in the 230s/120s, therefore she presented to the emergency department locally. Her medical comorbidities are notable for poorly controlled hypertension, mixed hyperlipidemia that is untreated, current tobacco use (1-2 packs per day for 40 years), and medically complicated obesity. In the emergency department  she was found to have mild polycythemia with hemoglobin of 15.2 and leukocytosis of 13.7. INR, D-dimer, and BMP were normal.  High sensitivity troponin T was found to be 770 ng/L. ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with T-wave inversion in aVL that was not present on 08/25/2004. Chest x-ray was largely unremarkable. Her chest pain resolved, but given the elevated troponin ECG changes she was treated for NSTEMI with heparin infusion, and loaded with aspirin and clopidogrel and directly admitted to the Hospital Cardiology service.  Upon arrival she remained free of chest pain but continued to have significant hypertension. I have reviewed and updated the following: Past Medical History, Family History, Social History, and Allergies. Current Outpatient Medications on File Prior to Encounter:  hydrochlorothiazide (HYDRODIURIL) 25 mg tablet, Take 1 tablet (25 mg total) by mouth daily., Past Week at Unknown time; Lorazepam (ATIVAN) 0.5 mg tablet, Take 0.5 mg by mouth daily as needed for anxiety., More than a month at Unknown time. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS Pertinent items are noted in HPI; all other review of systems was negative. OBJECTIVE  VITAL SIGNS Temperature: [36.8 °C-36.9 °C] 36.9 °C; Heart Rate:  [83-117] 83; Resp Rate:  [20-26] 22; Blood Pressure: (164-195)/(81-129) 164/106; SpO2:[92 %-97 %] 95 %;Weight:  [104 kg-106 kg] 104 kg; Pulse Rate:  [90-109] 94. PHYSICAL EXAM General: Alert, oriented, no acute distress; HEENT: Mucous membranes moist, JVP difficult to assess due to body habitus; CV: Regular rate and rhythm without murmur; Lungs: Clear to auscultation bilaterally; Abdomen: Obese, soft, nontender, nondistended, normoactive bowel sounds; Extremities: No peripheral edema appreciated; Neuro: No focal deficits appreciated. DIAGNOSTICS I have reviewed labs and imaging from the past 24 hours. ASSESSMENT / PLAN Patient is a 56 y.o. female who was directly admitted to the Cardiology Service from  Emergency Department due to NSTEMI and poorly controlled hypertension. She also has untreated mixed hyperlipidemia and is a current smoker. We will continue to trend troponins and treat NSTEMI was heparin infusion, aspirin, and clopidogrel. I will start a statin and initiate low-dose lisinopril and carvedilol for blood pressure control with plans to up titrate as tolerated. I will update a lipid panel in checked for diabetes. I will obtain a TTE in the morning and keep her NPO for probable coronary angiogram pending negative COVID swab. #1 Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction; #2 Poorly controlled systemic hypertension; #3 Mixed hyperlipidemia, previously untreated; #4 Medically complicated obesity (BMI 38-trend troponin- loaded with aspirin and clopidogrel- Aspirin 81 mg daily- clopidogrel 75 mg daily- moderate intensity heparin infusion- rosuvastatin 20 mg daily- lisinopril 2.5 mg daily, up titrate as tolerated- carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily, up titrate as tolerated- holding home hydrochlorothiazide in lieu of lisinopril and carvedilol- lipid panel  - hemoglobin A1c- TTE- NPO for probable angiogram (not-ordered)- cardiac rehab consult ordered;#5 Abuse Tobacco Smoking- nicotine patch- nicotine inhaler as needed- nicotine cessation consult; #6 Anxiety She is prescribed lorazepam 0.5 mg which she takes when she has a panic attack which only occurs a couple times per year.  For now we will just monitor. Diet: NPO; Tubes/lines: PIV; VTE prophylaxis: heparin infusion; Code status: Full Code; Disposition: anticipate discharge to home when clinically stable. Counseling was provided face-to-face at bedside regarding the plan of care as stated above. I personally spent over half of a total 70 minutes in counseling and coordination of care as documented above. M.B.B.S. at 3/30/2021 10:58 AM Status: Signed. SUBJECTIVE HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Patient is a very pleasant 56-year-old female who is owner of multiple nursing facilities who presented with chest pain and hypertensive emergency. She ran out of her hydrochlorothiazide last week, was fairly busy managing all her nursing homes with COVID pandemic and vaccination program. She was having intermittent chest pain, chest pressure radiating to the right arm. In this setting she checked her blood pressure, and it was noted to be 240 systolic over 140 diastolic. In this setting was sent to the ER and subsequently sent here. Initial troponin was 770. Subsequently, it went up to 1923. Delta was 862. ECG showed sinus rhythm with clear ST depression in the inferolateral leads. Patient currently is chest pain-free. She was initiated on carvedilol and restarted her home hydrochlorothiazide. Blood pressure is better. She had a good night's sleep. OBJECTIVE  PHYSICAL EXAMINATION; Vital Signs: Noted.; General: Alert and oriented x3. Cardiac: S1, S2 normal.; Lungs: Clear.; Abdomen: Soft.; Extremities: No edema of feet.; Vessels: Peripheral pulses well-felt.; DIAGNOSTICS Creatinine is 0.7.  Bicarb is 30. ASSESSMENT / PLAN Patient, is a 56-year-old female with obesity, hypertension, smoking, presented with hypertensive emergency. Blood pressure is better controlled now. She did have clear ST-T changes with troponin elevation, and we will treat it as NSTEMI at this point. Certainly, this can be demand ischemia in setting of hypertensive emergency, but she has multiple risk factors which would warrant coronary artery disease evaluation. We will plan for an angiogram today. We will get an echo today. Post that, we will reassess and see how things go. It appears that this was in setting of medication noncompliance. However, if this happens again, we may also look for other secondary causes of hypertension, especially with the fact that her bicarbonate was 30. All her questions were answered. DIAGNOSES: #1 Hypertensive emergency; #2 NSTEMI; #3 Obesity. M.B.B.S. DD: 03/30/2021 08:54:32 CT; DT: 03/30/2021 09:13:15 CT; Job ID:  914158020/mjb.
