The patient reports feeling malaise for the past 2 to 3 days, anorexia, generalized weakness, no fevers, no chest pain, no palpitations, no shortness of breath nausea vomiting.  Patient presenting initially to Hospital emergency department, subsequently discussed with ED provider and arrangements made for transfer to hospital for further treatment and evaluation.  The patient was given metoprolol and digoxin in the emergency department at hospital with good efficacy, heart rate dropping below 100.   The patient denies any chest pain, shortness of air, stomach pain, hemoptysis, fevers, chills.  She has no diagnosis of sleep apnea.  Tells me that she had an NSTEMI in the past, diagnosed at hospital, however, no stents, CABG, etc.  Normally active without angina.   COVID-19 negative.  Influenza negative.  Thyroid function within normal limits.  Urine equivocal.  Slightly elevated protein and total bilirubin.  D-dimer within normal limits.  Chest x-ray showed no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality, personally reviewed.   I reviewed the patient's echocardiogram from March 2022, normal LV systolic function, normal left atrium dimensions, no evidence of elevated pulmonary arterial or right heart pressures.  Troponin normal.  BNP minimally elevated.  Creatinine and BUN minimally elevated.   No history of intracranial hemorrhage, GI bleed.  Review of Systems     Remaining 10 point review of systems negative except as noted above.  Physical Exam/Objective  Vital Signs (most recent and range for last 24 hours)  Temp (CEL) 37.3 (37.3-37.3)  Temp (FAHR) 99.1 (99.1-99.1), BP 138/83 (138-138)/(83-83), HR 116 (116-116), RR 20 (20-20), O2Sat 100 (100-100)     Patient Weight  Current Daily Weight:    65.1 kg    02/21/23  Previous Daily Weight:    65.5 kg    02/21/23  Difference from Previous:    -0.400000 kg  BMI:    22    02/21/23    Normal Weight (BMI 18.5-24.9) Patient Height  Current Height:    172.7 cm    02/21/23        Constitutional:  No acute distress,  well-nourished Eyes:  PERRLA,  EOMI,  normal conjunctiva,  no scleral icterus ENMT:  Moist oral mucosa Neck:  Supple, non-tender, intact range of motion Respiratory:  Lungs CTAB, normal work of breathing Cardiovascular: Irregular rhythm, normal rate Gastrointestinal:  Soft, non-tender, non-distended Musculoskeletal:  No joint swelling, no deformity, intact ROM Integumentary:  Intact, warm, dry no rashes Neurologic: Alert & Oriented x 3, no cognitive impairment,  no focal deficits Psychiatric:  Cooperative, appropriate mood and affect    Assessment/Plan       1. Atrial fibrillation with RVR     Somewhat equivocal as to whether the patient has a history of atrial fibrillation based on chart review, however, A-fib with RVR on this presentation.  Aside from fatigue, possibly exacerbated by ongoing atrial fibrillation, no significant symptoms, i.e., no chest pain, shortness of air, near syncope, palpitations, etc.  Thyroid function normal.  D-dimer within normal limits.  No history of sleep apnea or primary lung disease.  Will gently hydrate, monitor electrolytes, repeat EKG now that rate is controlled, continue AV nodal blockers in the form of oral beta-blocker at this time.  Consider repeat echocardiogram, it has been nearly 12 months.  Will defer cardiology consult to day team.   CHA2DS2-VASc score is between 4 and 5.  I am going to start the patient on Eliquis 5 mg twice daily at this time.   2. Acute lower UTI    Could be an inciting factor.  Cultures.  Rocephin.    3. Hypertension    Continue beta-blocker but will increase to 25 mg twice daily.  Hold hydrochlorothiazide for now.   4. Hypothyroidism    Continue levothyroxine.   5. Generalized weakness   Hydrate.  Treat UTI.  Rate controlled.  Reassess tomorrow.
