Symptom narrative

pt says he started bleeding from his nose. He became tired, dizzy and developed all over body rash. He tolerated it for a couple of weeks but went and had labs. He received a call from doctor that his platelets levels were around 2000. He went to the ER to have a platelets transfusion but had a reaction while getting it. He was then given steroid pills. It helped for a couple of weeks but he continued to have symptoms so went back to the ER. . After being diagnosed with ITP that is now chronic, he will have to take one pill a day for the rest of his life. He was given Promacta for treating his condition. In 2023 he started have SOB. He went back to the ER about 3 times. He knew something was wrong. After the 4th visit he knew something was wrong. He was admitted for treatment for Block Flocks.. It was removed and no stent was needed. After being discharged he was given medicine. In 2024 he started having pain behind his right knee. They found block flocks and is being treated with Eliquis. He went home then had chest pains. He went back to the ER and they found that the block flocks moved from his to knee to his lungs.
