The patient's height was 1.683 cm and weight was 99 kilogram. The patient's past medical history included: acute cystitis without hematuria, cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation, chronic back pain and biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in place, and concurrent conditions included: penicillin v allergy, dilaudid allergy, hyperlipidemia, acute gout of right elbow, grief reaction depression, anxiety, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, chronic kidney disease, controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus without complication, essential hypertension benign heart disease, chest pain, morbid obesity, myocarditis, Non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTMI), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pericardial effusion, polymyalgia rheumatica, pneumonia due to organism severe sepsis, sleep apnea, opioid use, myopericarditis, finger amputation no complication, shortness of breath, longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation, shortness of breath, mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy of both eyes without macular edema associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, statin intolerance, and osteoarthrosis. The patient received covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s (suspension for injection, intramuscular, batch number: 1821286 expiry: unknown) dose was not reported, administered on 12-MAY-2021 for an unspecified indication. Concomitant medications included diphenhydramine, doxylamine succinate, allopurinol, apixaban, clopidogrel bisulfate, atorvastatin calcium and Acetaminophen (paracetamol) for unknown indication.  On 03-JAN-2022, the patient admitted at Hospital Emergency Department with generalized weakness for 1 week. His wife passed away on holiday from sepsis and he has gradually been declining since. They were able to postpone her funeral so he did not miss it. In the ER patient tested positive for COVID although he was fully vaccinated. He noted that since the last 2 weeks he has had uncontrollable shaking and weakness. He denied fever or chills. He has had some coughing but mild and occasionally felt shortness of breath (SOB) but stated that is due to congestive heart failure and prior cardiac arrest. He denied chest pain palpitations or tachycardia. He stated he had chest pain the day his wife passed and took nitro to take care of the pain but denied pain since. He noted that his wife did not have COVID and he was unaware of any sick contacts. He stated after he had the vaccine he had myocarditis. He denied edema.

He denied facial droop slurred speech confusion or unilateral weakness but has noticed generalized weakness. He had body aches. He noted that his wife's funeral was on Thursday and he wanted to go but HCP told him that since he was COVID positive even if he was feeling better he should not go to the funeral and encouraged patient and daughter that they reschedule the funeral if able. He was then admitted for observation of COVID and weakness.

No focal consolidation), Computerized tomogram head which result was Abnormal (Mild atrophy, Mild moderate white matter disease and some smaller areas of volume loss likely chronic small vessel ischemic changes, Negative for acute intracranial process No acute traumatic findings status post fall, Mild acute and or chronic right sphenoid sinusitis), Creatinine renal clearance (NR: not provided) Deceased, depression, Fibrin D dimer (NR: not provided) was Normal, Full blood count (NR: not provided) Unknown, Glomerular filtration rate (NR: not provided) Decreased, Glycosylated hemoglobin (NR: not provided) Increased, Laboratory test (NR: not provided) Abnormal, Procalcitonin (NR: not provided) Normal (so likely not bacterial), Protein total (NR: 60 - 80) with result 66 g/dL, SARS-CoV-2 test (NR: not provided) Positive, and White blood cell count (NR: not provided) Increased. He was started on spironolactone 25 mg daily and Imdur was cut to 30 mg daily due to lower BP. His metolazone was held due to his acute kidney injury (AKI). He was discharged on Lasix and aldactone and metolazone was stopped. His sodium and potassium normalized and his renal function was improved. His blood pressures were stable on day of discharge. Atrial fibrillation (A Fib) was well controlled continued on his home CD implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in place.
