CXR shows bilateral opacifications at bases, per my review.   Consults: Hospitalist   Social Determinants of Health: Polypharmacy; lives at ECF  06/07/23 00:20:10 Chose not to give patient IV fluids, given her history of heart failure. Her BP and HR have improved without medicine or fluids. Suspect polypharmacy has been contributing to her low BP. She has been asking for her home Norco and Xanax pills, but I have not given them, as she is hypotensive.   06/07/23 00:30:36 Pt's CXR shows new bilateral lower infiltrates. Her troponin and repeat troponin were both elevated at 15 and 17, respectively. Her D-dimer was elevated but CTA chest can not be obtained at this time as her creatine clearance is low. Will seek admission for the patient.
