He presents with acute onset of lethargy (symptom onset: Saturday 07/03), somnolence and hypoxia as noted by home O2 monitor (approx 88% on room air) along with dry cough. Patient has his sense of taste and smell intact but reports diarrhea. Per wife (who is at bedside) he also has intermittent confusion and appears much weaker than his usual self. She states they got a COVID test at an urgent care and came back positive (COVID test done here is pending). Patient mostly c/o congestion and mild dyspnea and does not report any wheezing or labored breathing. He states he uses 2L O2 at night (although was tested for sleep apnea and was tested negative; during the extended testing he tested positive for narcolepsy). He is a lifelong non-smoker and does not have a prior h/o CHF or lung disease. As I entered the room the patient was noted to be bradycardic and an EKG was done and reviewed by me showing frequent PVC's but otherwise normal sinus rhythm and no evidence of heart block. Per wife he has had issues with "bigeminies" and fluctuant heart rate and has had 30 day cardiac monitoring (per her description no malignant arrhythmias were noted - they have never seen a electrophysiologist).   Patient was flully vaccinated in Feb/March (Moderna). Point of sick contact was likely his dentist (who tested positive and patient had a dentist appointment Wed 06/30)  XR Chest 1 View  Result Date: 7/6/2021 Narrative:  FINDINGS: Underinflated lungs.
