The patient's height, and weight were not reported. The patient's past medical history included: hypertriglyceridemia, and nocturnal BiPAP(Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), and concurrent conditions included: hypertension, fatty liver, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on intermittent continuous positive airway pressure therapy, and childhood asthma, and other pre-existing medical conditions included: Patient had no known allergy. The patient was previously treated with metformin for dm2. The patient received covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s (suspension for injection, intramuscular, batch number: 1805029 expiry: UNKNOWN) frequency one total , dose was not reported, administered at left arm on 24-MAR-2021 for an unspecified indication. Concomitant medications included chlortalidone, losartan and amlodipine for hypertension. On 24-AUG-2021, the patient experienced shortness of breath (dyspnoea) and fever, confirmed covid positive with home kit. On 31-AUG-2021, the patient experienced covid-19 confirm in laboratory 93 percent with tachypnea, on same day experienced covid-19 pneumonia, and was hospitalized. The patient was hospitalized for 5 days. Patient was started and completed a course of Remdesivir (31-AUG-2021 to 04-SEP-2021) and Decadron 6 mg which was tapered to 4 mg on discharge and he was discharged on a tapering course, he improved slowly throughout the course of his stay with sats dropping with ambulation to 89 percent, thus patient was prescribed home Oxygen for exertion. Patient was not on any DM2 medications prior to admission the metformin previously prescribed and had been discontinued, His blood sugars were elevated on Decadron and he required a sliding scale for coverage he was taught on insulin administration and will continue that at home it is expected his blood sugars will decrease as his decadron dosing decreases. Patient has HTN on chlorthalidone, losartan and amlodipine, Chlorthalidone and losartan were held and he was maintained on amlodpine and normotensive Thus he will not resume chlorthalidone or losartan until follow up with PMD pending his blood pressure trends.
