According to the patient, he was in his usual state of health until 3 days ago when he woke up with fever and chills.  He checked his temperature and was reported to be 101.4.  chills was followed by shortness of breath, faint wheezing, cough, and diaphoresis. He states that the shortness of breath is worse on exertion. Patient endorses chest tightness. He has used nebulizers with slight improvement.  He continues to manage himself at home for the past 3 days and had to present to the ER today because he was feeling worse.  No recent travel, he endorsed positive contacts with setting family members with respiratory illnesses.  Of note, he had a colonoscopy 3 weeks ago for colonic polyps.  He states he is scheduled for upper GI endoscopy for his hernia  Pt notes known hernia.   Denies urinary changes or weight gain.  No nausea or vomiting.  PSHx of cardiac stents, 3x CABG, and prosthetic aortic valve placement. Patient is anticoagulated on warfarin.   In the ER  Vital signs was unremarkable besides remarkable hypoxia and tachycardia.  He was given albuterol and Lasix in the ER with improvement of symptoms.  On bedside evaluation in the ER, he was awake and alert, a AAOx3 on 2.5 L of oxygen and saturating well.  He appeared comfortable.

Sepsis   A41.9   Meets SIRS criteria on admission with fever and tachypnea  Source is likely from pneumonia Present on admission, adequate capillary refill/perfusing pressure on repeat examination, imaging positive for infiltrate, at low risk for hemodynamic and respiratory instability. Blood cultures pending,  urinalysis appears negative at this time,  procalcitonin pending, lactate  WNL.    Continue empiric coverage with ceftriaxone and doxycycline.  De-escalate therapy as appropriate.  SARS CoV 2 negative.  Flu AB not detected   2. Hypoxia   R09.02   As a result of fluid overload and pneumonia.  RT eval to follow  We will continue oxygen supplementation to maintain SPO2 above 92% patient is on room air at baseline.   3. Pneumonia   J18.9   Seen on x-ray.  Likely atypical pneumonia given appearance.  We will send pneumonia labs.  Follow-up procalcitonin.  Follow-up blood culture   4. Fluid overload   E87.70   Seen on x-ray.  Status post IV Lasix in the ER with improvement of respiratory status.  We will hold off further diuresis today and will reassess tomorrow given ongoing sepsis.  We will repeat chest x-ray if needed tomorrow.   5. Anemia   D64.9   Chronic.  No ongoing signs of blood loss.  According to the patient, he is scheduled for upper GI endoscopy in the coming weeks.  We will monitor with daily labs.   6. Anticoagulated on warfarin   Z79.01   Noted.  Supra therapeutic INR noted.  Will defer to pharmacy to manage warfarin   7. Anxiety   F41.9   Chronic problem.  Resume home meds.   8. Atrial fibrillation   I48.91   Not in RVR.  Resume beta-blocker.  Pharmacy to dose warfarin.   9. Chronic GERD   K21.9   Resume home meds.   10.
