Clinical narrative: On 07/25/2021 I had my first symptom that something was wrong. I was outside in the heat walking around and I literally felt "Something is wrong, I do not feel well" that I said to my brother and sister. Within a few minutes, my sister took me inside to cool off and I had to go to the bathroom. I don't even remember the last 20 minutes walking in. I had to use the bathroom and had diarrhea and had vomiting at the same. I thought it was heat stroke because I was sweating profusely. It just lasted for about 20 minutes. I left the bathroom and felt week. That was the only event that day. I drank some water and broth. I was exhausted that day. During the week I could not stay awake, and I did not feel sick. When I was awake, I was alert and interactive with my family and Thursday 07/29/2022 my brother and I flew home. I drove home from airport about 50 miles and I am an excellent driver. I drifted over the left median. Within 5 minutes, I drifted over to the right. I had no idea what was going on. We met with his wife about 06:00PM ET. I drank a half of a beer and one chicken finger. I was just feeling bad could not finish my drink or beer and went home. Friday 07/30/2022, I felt bad and had a horrible headache and slight fever. I slept most of the day. On 07/31/2021, I am vomiting and horrible diarrhea that went on for an hour or so. I went to Urgent Care. The Triage Nurse took my temperature and BP at 09:56AM and the doctor said I needed to go to the hospital. According to the hospital records my BP was low and 101/59 and my Oxygen was 95. I was sent to Hospital ER. The first thing they did was test me for COVID-19. They monitored my BP and at 03:30PM my BP was 94/47 but my HR went up and was 74. Multiple tests were performed, and the attending Cardiologist said I did not have AFIB. I was in the ER for about 7 hours. I am not sure what I was given in my IV. They did say they were astonished I had driven myself there. Providers at Urgent care wanted me to come back because I did not have a PCP in a week and back again in two weeks. They also provided a PCP for me.  After 07/31/2021 I lost 10lbs in 4 days. I was vomiting garbage cans in my house. Walking to the bathroom was very difficult with my legs due to muscle weakness. I noticed if I had to write anything my penmanship was not recognizable despite having penmanship lessons. Everything tasted like salt. Sweet things were very sickening to me. My sense of smell was enhanced and so much so when someone brought me soup the smell made me vomit. All of these symptoms lasted about a week. Once I felt I was over COVID-19, I have continued to feel extremely weak until present. Prior to this I was working as a server 4-5 days and also swam laps and my pulse was 99. I am the president of my community. I was capable, active, fit, engaged, and intelligent and I am feeling now that I have brain fog and I am not "my normal". I did see my PCP on 04/27/2022 and they referred me to a Pomologist on 06/13. On 10/11/2021 I went to a follow-up with PCP and they did perform some routine Labs and I was put on Cholesterol.
