You had a recent episode of lower leg edema (swelling) which your primary care physician prescribed Lasix (medicine to get rid of fluid). You vital signs were within normal limits and there was no oxygen saturation (rest) provided. Your electrocardiogram (recording of your heart activity) was Sinus (normal). In emergency room you received 30 milligram of Lovenox (blood thinner) and Methylprednisolone (medicine to help with breathing). You were admitted, started on aspirin, Cardiac enzymes (test) were done and your first troponin (test) was negative (no other results provided). You were continued on Prednisone (medicine) 10 milligram daily; restarted on Coumadin (blood thinner), Diltiazem (medicine), and a low salt diet was recommended as well as you received Albuterol via a nebulizer (breathing treatment) every 4 hours. Your pulmonary (breathing specialist) consult states that the shortness of breath was most likely due to deconditioning (changes in body with inactivity), obesity (over weight), and less likely due to Sarcoidosis (inflammatory disease).

After being told she had been overreacting, the patient experienced more severe symptoms, leading to a more severe form of depression. Similarities occur,“When depression is moderate or severe, it could lead to self-harm, thoughts of suicide, or suicide attempts. If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts or you’ve noticed someone you love is showing a sudden and worrisome shift in their behavior, pay attention and get help. (Krouse)” The patient shows very similar traits to the description, her hopelessness coupled with her newfound loneliness brought her to a state of near insanity, causing the breakdown in her

History of Present Illness: Ms. Barrett was seen by me on July 30th for a cough and possible infiltrate on her chest x-ray at which time I prescribed her a seven day course of Avelox. Earlier in the week, she had complained of a persistent cough and I ordered a subsequent CT scan of the chest to evaluate the potential abnormalities. She states that today that since then, her cough is slowly resolving. It mostly occurs at night when lying flat. She does have a history of allergic rhinitis and postnasal drip, which may also be a contributor. She denies any fevers or chills. She is chronically using her inhalers as previously prescribed. She is also on supplemental oxygen for her chronic hypoxemic

Patient “DD” is a 56-year-old woman who was admitted to a nearby hospital for respiratory failure. With the only previous medical history being chronic bronchitis, she was diagnosed upon admission with COPD, anemia, hypoxia, moderate anxiety, and dyspnea.

I am also suspicious that she is struggling with eustachian tube dysfunction. We talked about treatments. We briefly discussed the idea of antibiotics, but at this point, my suspicion is this is still more viral. She is aware of what to be watching for and knows to call me if there is not improvement here through the course of the rest of the week or into early next week. We talked about good hand hygiene to avoid new illness or spread to others. One of her biggest complaints is just coughing at night and keeping her awake. I did write her for Tussionex cough syrup 5 mL twice daily p.r.n. four ounces with no refills. She is aware of side effects and is aware of sedation, in particular. She will not take it if she is driving or with any other sedating medication. She will monitor her symptoms, in the interim. She will continue with her Flonase and if there is no improvement here into next week or so, consideration for antibiotics can be done. If there is acute worsening in her respiratory status or other concerns, she will seek care if necessary and will otherwise follow up as needed with Dr. Lilly. All questions answered in the office
