Hypotensive History of Hypertension Patient was initially hypotensive. Blood pressure improved following 1.5 L NS in the ED. Hypotension likely due to dehydration. He takes carvedilol and lisinopril at home.  - Blood pressure currently stable.  - Continue fluid resuscitation  - Will hold home blood pressure medications for now.    Acute Kidney Injury Cr on admission was 1.37. Baseline Cr is 0.8-0.9. Likely due to dehydration.  - Monitor kidney function  - Continue fluid resuscitation as above   COVID 19 Pneumonia Symptoms started around 11/14 which include fatigue, weakness, loss of smell and taste, shortness of breath and lightheadedness with activity.

He received 1.5 L NS and 6 mg IV decadron in the ED. He is saturating appropriately on room air. He does not qualify for remdesivir treatment at this time as he is not hypoxemic. - He is not requiring supplemental oxygen at this time - Severe Respiratory isolation - Dexamethasone 6 mg oral daily for 10 days (started 11/23) - Daily labs CBC with differential, CMP, D-dimer, CRP - Monitor Ins/Out  - Monitor vitals - VTE prophylaxis: Lovenox - Discuss MAB treatment with Covid antibody team   Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy Hyperlipidemia Echo in 2019 showed EF of 53%. Follows with cardiology.   - Continue home aspirin, statin, carvedilol   BPH - Hold home finasteride due to hypotension   Anxiety/Depression Citalopram, quetiapine BID   Collagenous Colitis Patient with a history of chronic diarrhea on budesonide chronically. - Hold home budesonide while patient on decadron   Rosacea - hold bactrim due to AKI   Chronic joint pain - Continue home Norco BID prn   GERD - Protonix     Discharge Provider: MD Primary Care Provider at Discharge: MD Admission Date: 11/23/2021 Discharge Date: 11/25/2021   DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES 1.
