On 19Feb2021 at 08:30 the patient experienced a stroke and was hospitalized on that same date after physician office and emergency department visits.

The patient reported that she has never had atrial fibrillation and had never been treated by a cardiologist until she had the stroke. The patient explained that the only symptom she had was that her right hand went limp, and she could not grab or do anything with it. The patient reported that it was when she called her daughter, that she realized that she had aphasia as well.

The patient also mentioned that since the stroke she has put on weight/is overweight (120 pounds prior to stroke); and she has had a little more anxiety, so she does take it twice a day. A computerized tomogram (CT) scan head and neck with contrast obtained on 19Feb2021 showed two possible areas of developing peripheral infarction involving the left frontal lobe and left parietal lobe, likely embolic in nature. No thromboembolism in circle of Willis, but micro emboli are possible beyond the visuals of the CTA; no flow limiting stenosis in neck. An echocardiogram obtained on 20Feb2021 was normal. A complete blood count (CBC) and lipids obtained on unspecified dates were unknown results. On 04Jul2021 the patient's blood pressure was 95/61. The patient was discharged from the hospital on 21Feb2021. The outcome of the events stroke and hypothesized that it was atrial fibrillation throwing a clot was recovered with sequalae. The outcome of the event put on weight since the stroke/overweight was recovered on an unspecified date in 2021. The outcome of the anxiety was unknown.
