Patient in clinic for chief complaint of possible side effect of the covid vaccine which she received yesterday. She states that she woke up at 0200 with chest tightness, achyness and headache. She rates the discomfort 7/10 last night and improved now to 5/10. She denies any worsening with any type of exertion and states that she can do simple things like take a shower, walk across the room, down the street or even stairs without any worsening. She denies any SOB or chest pain--just feels tight. Doesn't feel like she can't get a full breath or get the air out of her lungs either. She received her first of two doses of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday (4:23pm) and had no difficulty with the injection itself and then 9.5 hours later woke up from sleep with this chest tightness as well as achyness and headache.  She states that she had the exact same symptoms when she had positive covid test back in August of this year with the addition of fatigue which lasted for 5 days. At that time it was not felt necessary to do any further testing nor treat with steroids according to cardiology. She does have history of LV non-compaction cardiomyopathy and her last visit with cardiology was about 2 years ago and she had a normal EKG and echo only showed "mild LV non compaction at the apex" at that time. He did not need to see her again until she is 18 unless she has problems. She states that she generally does very well and other than this tightness she does not have any other significant symptoms.

My 16-year-old daughter, very healthy without any health conditions, got her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday evening, April 10th, at around 5pm. On Wednesday, she started complaining of shortness of breath, chest pains, which she described as a feeling of someone stubbing her heart. By Thursday, she began blacking out repeatedly throughout the day, each blackout lasting about a minute. These progressed and whenever she blacked out, she would not remember what happened. At first, she and I brushed it off as maybe lack of calcium since she rarely drinks milk. But as they intensified, I began to become more concerned. I told her I cannot leave her by herself in the house as I prepared to go pick up her young siblings from school then schedule an appointment with her doctor. On our way back home, she blacked out again, however, it was for more than a minute. Straight away, I drove to the ER close by. The doctor came back to inform me that her heartbeat was irregular and concerning based on her age. In that same moment, she began complaining of excessive pain like someone punching her heart out, and then she passed out again. Still with my two other children, the whole ordeal began to frighten them and illicit some heavy tears. Being that this ER was general admission, the doctors insisted they call in the paramedics to transport her to another ER for children. However, after being transported to the other ER, her condition began to intensify rather quickly and the pediatric doctor at the second ER informed us we would have to be transferred to Childrens intensive care unit where the cardiologists could check her heart, find the ultimate cause, and monitor her closely. In that moment, as a mother, I was speechless and extremely terrified. Seeing my daughter being transferred from ER to ER, made it even tougher on me so much that I could no longer hold myself together. Here she was in terrible pain and being moved around with no clear diagnosis and treatment. From there on, we spent a couple days in the Cardiac ICU waiting and praying with friends for answers and the best treatment she could get to ease the pain. By about the third day of being in the ICU, the cardiologists informed me, she had Acute Myocarditis. This was so shocking in a sense that both sides of the family have no history of heart issues. Secondly, she is a very healthy child.

is a 16-year-old female patient admitted with tachycardia. Starting 1-1/2 weeks ago, mom notes that she has had episodes where she feels her heart racing. It began 1-1/2 weeks ago with her crying and her watch that her heart rate was 208. They went to the ED, where she was given some fluids and her heart rate improved so she was sent home. She had had prior episodes of mild tachycardia up to the 140s in the past but which has always improved with fluids. Mom states that she used to have a lot of trouble maintaining her hydration and would not drink a lot of water. Since the last 1-1/2 weeks, she has been having these episodes 1-2 times a day that last about 1 to 2 minutes with a max of 5 minutes. When it comes on, she feels dizzy and lightheaded, and after the episode she feels a big rush of blood to her head. She also has some associated shortness of breath. She denies having any episodes of chest pain at all. She has never passed out, she has never felt like she was going to pass out, she has never felt like she was out of balance. She denies any nausea or vomiting during episodes. She denies any headaches during the episodes. She does have history of migraines, but has not had one in the last couple weeks. Her prior resting heart rate was in the 80s per her watch, and lately it has been in the 110s to 120s while awake in 80s while asleep. Along with the episodes, she also feels some pulsating sensation in her abdomen. She does not have any abdominal pain. Today, her heart rate was again in the 200s, but it was worse than before because it lasted about 30 minutes total. Lately they have been using an app that continuously monitors her heart rate. Since these episodes started, she has cut down on her caffeine intake and she has increased her water intake. Does not feel that this helped. She has never had syncope in the past and has never had seizures in the past. Patient was started on carvedilol which has helped control heart rate and was encouraged to drink fluids. Per primary care team, her current episode of tachycardia was not due to the vaccine.

The patient was previously well then shortly after the first COVID vaccine she began experiencing fatigue slowing to her swim times ( she is an high level swimmer) and felt "Off". She presented to my office on May 6, 2021 three days after her second COVID vaccine I examined her and heard a slight hint of a wheeze and in addition to labs did a CXR which was Abnormal with evidence of a LLL consolidation and a pleural effusion. We then did a CT scan with contrast and started her on antibiotics and I called Pulmonology to get her in quickly since swimming trials were approaching and we had to do our best to get her in shape to compete. We also did a rapid COVID test which was negative at my office on May 7, 2021-- The pediatric pulmonologist repeated the CXR 5 days later and there was more fluid and she was now having more sx of cough and feeling worse so she was Admitted to the Hospital on May 11th and had a Chest tube placed and drained 950 cc of serous fluid . Pulmonology, oncology and rheumatology consulted to rule out various other causes of the pleural fluid in an otherwise healthy girl. Surgery did the procedure and followed up outpt. She was in the hospital for approximately 4 days. Proximity of sx onset to doses and other sources being essentially ruled out lead to concern for vaccine complication.

Patient admitted with myocarditis s/p dose #2 of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. At the time of the report, she is still hospitalized. From EHR note: Patient was in her usual state of health when she received her second dose of the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine on 6/3. She experienced mild myalgias in the day following the vaccine. However, on 6/5 she developed new severe substernal chest pain, dizziness, and dyspnea. Pain radiated to her throat. Given severity of pain, she presented to the emergency department. In the ED she was afebrile, tachycardic, and initially hypertensive. Labs demonstrated WBC 10.9 (N 49, L 27), Hb 11.7, PLT 315. ESR 25, CRP 7.61. Troponin T was mildly elevated at 0.08, consistent with mild cardiac inflammation. SARS-CoV-2 PCR and antibody testing were negative. An EKG was normal. However, an echo demonstrated low-normal LVEF (55%). Otherwise, patient denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis, new rashes, arthralgias. Patient was admitted to the cardiology service for further monitoring. Following admission, she was started on ibuprofen. She notes that her substernal chest pain has improved somewhat since admission. Differential for patient's presentation includes infectious, post-infectious, and non-infectious causes of myocarditis. Although post-vaccination mild myocarditis seems likely, we agree with the infectious workup already undertaken, and recommend additional EBV and CMV PCR testing.

A 16-years-old female patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/Lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 21Mar2021 as single dose for covid-19 immunization. Patient received first dose of bnt162b2 on unknown date in 2021, 3 weeks before the second dose for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included asthma (Diagnosed when she was 5 years old), allergies (Pollen, dust, walnuts, coconut, diagnosed when she was 3 years old) and migraine from Sep2019. Concomitant medications included Amitriptyline 25 mg for migraine, Macrogol 3350 (MIRALAX) daily for constipation and salbutamol sulfate (VENTOLIN HFA) asthma pump taken as needed for asthma which patient had not used this for a while before the vaccine. The patient received the second dose and then 5 days later she had to be taken to the emergency room. The patient was only 16 years old but was able to be vaccinated because she had asthma, so she is high risk. In Mar2021, 5 days after the second dose, the patient had horrible pain in her chest, lungs, and ribs. On 26Mar2021 or 27Mar2021 the patient woke up with this pain, then that night it hurt when the patient breathed or talked. The patient was taken to the emergency room at that time and was diagnosed with costochondritis, the patient was not ever admitted to the hospital. The patient was given ibuprofen 600 mg prescribed but it didn't help. Unknown lot, NDC, and expiration date for the Ibuprofen. The pain was still there so the patient was given naproxen and she has been taking that for almost 2 months now. Sometimes the pain gets better but sometimes it gets worse. Unknown lot, NDC, and expiration date for the Naproxen. The first 4 weeks the patient had to lay down because she couldn't sit or stand for more than 15 minutes because of the pain. The patient was fine and then 5 days after the second dose she got the pain, and it doesn't go away. The pain is under the breast like 4 fingers under it and in the middle near the sternum. The pain hurts more when the patient moves and changes positions. It was reported that "Two days ago, the pain was a 2 out of 10, but randomly it goes to 5,6, or 7. Today the pain is a 4 out of 10". The caller said this event was ongoing and persisting. When the patient went to the emergency room on 26Mar2021 or 27Mar2021 they checked her for inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, but it was negative. The patient's blood work was normal, the chest x-rays were normal too. The patient also went to the emergency room on 05May2021 and was not admitted. The care team checked the patient again and they said it was myalgia or something. The patient was not resolved from the events. The causality assessment with suspect vaccine reported as Related to the events pain in her chest, lungs, and ribs. Follow up attempts are needed. Further information has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on a positive temporal association, a possible contributory role of the suspect BNT162B2 cannot be excluded for the reported Pulmonary pain, Costochondritis and Myalgia.

Patient not seen in office. History obtained via phone from father of patient and patient herself. Very early on 4/19/2021, 8hrs after receiving her 2nd Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, patient began developing nausea, chills, sweating, fever and malaise. Highest fever was 102.3', with symptoms treated with Advil 600mg. Had x1 episode of vomiting that day, none since. The next day 4/20, patient woke up with new-onset lip swelling, progressing to periorbital swelling and swelling of her facial cheeks & rash. She then began having a cough with some throat tightness with some mild discomfort with breathing in her throat, but no chest tightness or wheezing. Tongue not swollen per patient. Benadryl 25mg PO given multiple times and patient used her Albuterol MDI a few times as well, which helped. She continued to have fevers to 101' throughout the day, treated with Advil again. At night, patient then developed semi-itchy red "hives" on her legs. Per patient, she didn't feel she needed to go to ER for her symptoms or throat tightness/breathing issue. She was still drinking & urinating well and had been consuming light solids foods. The same day 4/20 in the afternoon, patient was prescribed over the phone Prednisone 60mg PO x1 which she first took after 5pm, with tapering dose over the next 4 days, in addition to increasing Benadryl to 50mg PO and starting Qvar 80 MDI BID, while using Albuterol prn. Via phone call to father this morning 4/21, patient reportedly slept well last night and woke up this morning with significantly less symptoms. No longer having throat tightness/breathing issues, with much less periorbital/facial swelling. Still fatigued but no longer having fevers, either.

At 2am 4/22 patient started to feel sick and sent a text that I didn't read until 630 as I was asleep. She had severe muscle aches, hurt to move, hurt to breathe and felt like she was having a heart attack. She felt like she might pass out and had some blurred vision. At 630am, I saw her texts and immediately brought her 2 tylenol and a large glass of water. She went back to bed. She woke up around 10:45 and was feeling decent except for a headache but no fever or anything so we went to try on some Prom dresses. At the dress shop, she collapsed and had a seizure lasting around a minute. She lost her bladder and was completely confused and incoherent. She's never had a seizure before. I scooped her up, brought her to the ER where they ran every test and scan imagineable. Full blood work up and cultures, a chest xray, a CT scan of her brain and lungs. Her temp was high 103-104 and she had full body chills and a pounding headache. Her BP kept dropping and got as low as 81/36. They threw 2 bags of IV fluids into her and admitted her to the hospital. She had also developed a heart murmur. Over the course of the night, her BP stabilized but her temp continued to spike and come back down with Tylenol/Ibuprofen. She also had IV Tordahl for the headache. Her inflammatory markers were high at 15.3 which we were told should be less than 1. They reran labs in the morning but everything can back really low which they felt was a dilution effect from all the fluids so wanted us to follow up with her primary care on Monday. On Saturday night, he lymph nodes were swollen to the size of ping pong balls but have since slowly reduced in size although still there. Her labs were better from discharge and her white blood cell count was within range and her inflammatory marker was down to 1.7. Her blood sugar was a little low. She did pass out and have seizure like response to giving blood in the doctors office, lost bladder control again, shot pupils, etc. She is still stuttering over words, has some short term memory retention and has some motor function issues which they think is a result of the initial seizure and should resolve itself over time. Her liver function tests were totally normal in the hospital but are a high now so they will be checking her out again next week.

Recipient is a 17yo who presented for second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. She reported some anxiety related to receiving dose #2, and had some nausea after dose #1. She was alone as a driver of her own POV. Consent was obtained from the recipient and her custodial grandparent by phone, witnessed by doctor. She initially did well after the vaccine, but after approximately 5 minutes began to complain of feeling nauseated, lightheaded, and tingling extremities (hands and feet). She was noted to be hyperventilating, and was placed in a supine position but continued to feel some lightheadedness and difficulty breathing. Breath sounds were clear without wheezing noted, HR 70s with RRR. She was noted to have ongoing anxiety, nausea and symptoms progressed and although she remained normotensive to hypertensive (initial BP 128/74), she had repeated episodes of syncope. She was transferred to the ambulance and further vitals and EKG were obtained. She had some confusion after episodes of syncope and some seizure-like activity with syncope, with very brief episodes of LOC, with noted tachycardia with HR up to the 140s during episodes of syncope. BP ranged 129/86 to 140/84. IV access obtained and she was given NS and started on oxygen at 2 liters, but saturations remained in the 98-99% range. She was ultimately transferred to the local ER for further evaluation and management given ongoing symptoms, evaluated at hospital.

Chest Pains Shortness of Breath Costochondritis - Per the Doctor These conditions were present after the first vaccine shot on April 6th and then again after the second shot on April 27th. Doctor initially thought it could be a simple case of Acid Reflux and gave her Nexium. Once that didn't work, she had her Chest X Ray done that came back all clear. She then had her blood tests done and that too came all clear except for Vitamin D3 that came in at 15 so doctor gave her a 50,000 unit Vitamin D3 dose. That also didn't do much to relieve the chest pains and shortness of breath so he had her EKG and Echo done and those were all clear as well. Finally, he gave her a day steroid course of Prednisone at 40 mg/day which is where she is currently. It is helping her a bit but she is still complaining of original two issues - chest pain and shortness of breath. She is also doing cold and warm compressions throughout the day that helps her temporarily.

Patient told us that she has passed out and vomited after receiving vaccines in the past. After getting the vaccine, she didn't feel well. We monitored her in the vaccine room for about 5 minutes. She had a drink of water, then when she was ready, her family helped her into the lobby I returned to the pharmacy, and continued to watch her. The patient's mom came to the window and said patient had fainted. I went to her, and said we need to lower her to the floor. At that point, mom said patient was not breathing I quickly lowered her to the floor, while dad supported her head. I didn't have time to verify that she wasn't breathing, because as soon as she touched the floor, she began convulsing, then sat up and w was immediately awake. She sat up, and we explained that she had passed out and I had her lie down. I stayed with her for a few minutes, asking if they wanted an ambulance (which mom and dad declined) while making sure she was ok. She was just resting at this point, so I returned to the pharmacy, and ask them to let me know if anything changed I continued to watch her from the pharmacy window, and the patient said she was nauseated. We gave mom a bag, and patient vomited in the bag. After a couple more minutes, she seemed to be recovering, and mom and dad helped her out of the store. I followed up with mom at 4:15pm, and mom said patient was still nauseated and had vomited a couple more times. I followed up one last time at 4:45pm, and patient was feeling a bit better, but mom was going to keep an eye on her I recommended that mom take her to a doctor to be evaluated, but mom said she would just keep an eye on her through the night. I told mom that I would follow up again in the morning.

Pt.initially had acute onset left arm pain with left sided chest pain worsened with deep breathing with nausea and vomiting. She gave herself her stress dose hydrocortisone, but when she did not improve she presented to the ED on 4/25/2021. EKG was performed and was normal. She was discharged with ad vice to rotate tylenol and ibuprofen and to stress dose her hydrocortisone. She, however, continued to be very symptomatic and developed tachycardia and symptoms of orthostasis. Large workup was done to assess the status of her endocrine diseases and to assess for onset of new autoimmune endocrine conditions. Laboratory evaluation was normal. troponin testing was not sent. She was referred to her primary pediatrician for further evaluation. Her pediatrician did a full evaluation and could find no cause for her symptoms. Arm pain gradually resolved but palpitations, mild sinus arrhythmia with tachycardia and symptoms of orthostasis continued. She tolerated wean of her hydrocortisone poorly and required large doses and slow weaning. Symptoms were still present and bothersome on 5/17/21 but had slightly improved, although she remained unable to attend full days of school (she is an excellent student). Case was discussed with infectious disease, who recommended delaying the second COVID vaccination, so this was done. Eventual working diagnosis was marked vasomotor instability of unclear origin, likely post inflammatory, concern for triggered by COVID vaccination. cardiology referral was placed. She was seen by cardiology 7/6/2021. EKG showed sinus arrhythmia and borderline right axis deviation, unchanged from ED presentation 4/25/2021. echocardiogram revealed only previous PDA closure. Cardiology placed event monitor and noted low suspicion for myocarditis, but consideration of cardiac MRI in future if no improvement.

Approximately 3 minutes after injection, pt. reported that her vision had gone black, her ears were ringing, and she felt faint. I notified the nurse immediately. Within another minute her breathing became rapid and faint. She was given water and coached to breath slowly and deeply. The nurse checked her blood pressure with a result of 67/22. A second BP check resulted in 70/27. The nurses transferred her to the ER. In the ER, a third BP check 20 minutes after injection resulted in a normal reading of approximately 110/70. She continued to take oral fluids for approximately one hour before being released. The medical staff reported to us that this is a completely normal reaction for many people to all vaccinations, and suggested that she should get the second dose of Pfizer vaccine in 3-4 weeks. However, when we check the CDC website we find that these are anaphylactic symptoms and should not get the 2nd dose of Pfizer, so we are greatly concerned and decided to report the event.

Patient slumped into chair in the observation area. I rushed to her. She was hyperventilating, but not wheezing or making any high pitched sound while breathing. Patient was conscious, and could answer my questions coherently. Patient was told to take off her mask so she can breath more easily. Patient kept saying "I'm sorry" and was told there's nothing to feel sorry for, and we wanted to make sure she was fine. Pulse was slightly elevated. Hands were warm and sweaty. Patient asked for a bottle of water. After drinking some water she felt better. It was likely a panic attack episode. I checked on her five minutes later. She just finished talking on the phone with a family or friend. She was a lot better at this point. She agreed that that was likely a panic attack.

I started having vaginal bleeding on April 14th. The first day, it was the same amount as a regular period. In the days following, the bleeding became very heavy, having me go through a super-sized tampon with a pad every 1 and a half to two hours along with several large blood clots each time changing. On the 15th, I called the on-call nurse for my gynocologist and she said that it might have been from the vaccine and taking birth control, since many patients of hers had called with the same problem. The bleeding continued at this rate all the way until my second dose on April 29th. I saw my primary doctor that day and she tested my hemoglobin, which came up at 10.7, which was slightly anemic. She prescribed an Iron supplement and told me to skip my "period" days and go straight to my next pack of birth control when the one I was using was finished. The next day, I experienced severe nausea, diarrhea, chills, fever-like symptoms, difficulty breathing, and extreme fatigue. I went to the Emergency Room, and they gave me about an IV and a half. They said I had extreme dehydration, and was slightly more anemic than when tested the day before. Following that day, the bleeding was significantly lighter and then stopped for a few days on the following Thursday when I started my new pack of birth control. I had little to no blood for.a couple days, followed by bloody discharge up until Tuesday night, the 11th of May, when the bleeding started again, being about the same amount as a regular period. I am still currently bleeding at this rate.

hypokalemia (2.9 mmol/L); hypocalcemia (6.4 mg/dL); puffy eyes; respiratory symptoms; possibly stridor; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. A 19-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 19May2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included food allergy, anaphylactic reaction. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient woke up the next morning on 20May2021 with puffy eyes and respiratory symptoms (possibly stridor) and self-administered epinephrine, then was taken to the nearest ED where she received additional epi and albuterol. Those symptoms eventually subsided, but what triggered the study stop was her lab findings consisting of hypokalemia (2.9 mmol/L) and hypocalcemia (6.4 mg/dL). In the AE grading scale that the study is using (the FDA's scale used in vaccination studies), these values are considered Grade 4 As such, we met the study stopping rule of a single Grade 4 event and since they were detected one day after vaccination, the site PI indicated that they could be "possibly related" to the vaccine. These abnormalities were promptly corrected and the participant is doing OK, based on the most recent update. There is no report that the reporter could identify that these electrolyte abnormalities are vaccine related and I am contacting you to confirm that this is, indeed, the case. We believe other explanations should be considered (e.g. epinephrine plus beta agonist administration can lead to both hypokalemia and hypocalcemia through beta2 effects; alternatively, or in addition, hyperventilation could result in respiratory alkalosis that has similar effects). The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood calcium: 6.4 mg/dl on an unspecified date Hypocalcemia , blood potassium: 2.9 mmol/l on an unspecified date Hypokalemia. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of puffy eyes, respiratory symptoms, possibly stridor. The outcome of the events was unknown. Information regarding lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on the available information and known product profile, the causal relationship between the reported puffy eyes and respiratory symptoms (possibly stridor) and the use of bnt162b2 is possible. Considering that these events likely occurred under the context of an allergic reaction based on the temporal association and the positive response to epinephrine and albuterol. The patient also has a history of food allergy, anaphylactic reaction which place the patient at risk. As for the events , hypokalemia and hypocalcemia, agree with the reporter that the use of the beta 2 agonist , as well as the respiratory alkalosis explain the occurrence of these events. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

Patient said that historically has experienced tachycardia and shakiness after getting a flu shot or booster a few years ago. Symptoms reported by patient were enough to suspect potential anaphylaxis, and patient consented pharmacist to administer epinephrine. Patient was then advised by the pharmacist to follow-up with her primary care doctor as soon as possible to report the incident and to discuss the risk versus benefit of the vaccine, whether recieving the second dose would be appropriate for her. Patient returned to assisted living facility for her second dose of the COVID19 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on 2/26/2021. Patient said that she discussed the incident with her doctor, was told it would be appropriate to get the second dose despite her reaction and was advised to take "cautious measures". Pharmacist reviewed the patient information and screening questions, discussed the potential side effects and reiterated her risk of experiencing the same reaction with the second dose. Patient stated that she decided on getting the second dose because "her boyfriend is high risk and I'm doing this for him". Patient stated that she decided on getting the second dose because "her boyfriend is high risk and I'm doing this for him". Pharmacist asked patient if she had any questions/concerns or additional information to add prior to getting her vaccine, and patient denied having any at that time. After administering her second dose, pharmacist instructed patient to stay in the observation area for at least 30 minutes and to ask the staff for water given her experience with the first dose. Patient asked pharmacist how common it was for someone to get a reaction from the vaccine, and then mentioned that her family memeber had to drive her to the emergency room after her first dose becuase her throat was "burning", and was told that her throat was "a little swollen" and recieved a second dose of epinephrine at the emergency room. Patient included this information after the fact her second dose was already administered. Approximately 5 minutes after receving her vaccine, the patient reported similar symptoms that she experienced on 2/5/2021: tachycardia, vision changes, shortness of breath and chest tightness. After monitoring patient with no resolvement of her symptoms, patient was then given a dose of epinephrine by the pharmacist, and the paramedics were called in to assess patient and take her to the emergency room.

My tongue was numb and my mouth became dry. Part two: As the dizziness began to subside, the second phase of the reaction started. I had nausea. I felt EXTREME abdominal/uterine cramping, which was the worst part. The cramps came in waves (Ex: cramp for a minute, subside for 10 sec, repeat). I thought I was going have an uncontrollable bowel movement as a result, but thankfully did not. The cramps lasted about thirty minutes. The dizziness became mild during this phase but was still there. I was in excruciating pain and debated calling an ambulance. This pain felt worse than when I broke two bones. During the entire reaction I felt extreme anxiety and impending doom (I did not feel this way prior to receiving the vaccine). For the rest of the day I felt tired and extremely anxious (impending doom).

A 20-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, formulation: solution for injection, lot number: EW0191; Expiration Date: Sep2021), via an unspecified route of administration, in Left arm on 22May2021 at 11:30 (at the age of 20-years) as single dose for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing acid reflux in the stomach; was diagnosed about one or two years ago. The patient did not receive any vaccinations within 4 weeks prior to the administration of suspect vaccine. The patient's concomitant medications included ongoing Tri-lo-sprintec (started taking it to regulate her cycle as she had an irregular period; she started this birth control 2 or 3 years ago). On 22May2021, the patient waited 15 minutes after the shot and felt fine, but later on that day (a couple of hours after) she got chills (about three hours after the vaccine). She stated she had normal side effects and did not think anything of it. On Sunday (23May2021), she had difficulty breathing (trouble breathing) and felt weak (feeling very weak and has no energy). She voiced it's hard for her to wear a mask. When she had to put a mask on it really felt like she could not breathe, and the air feels stuffy especially if she wears a mask; every couple of seconds she had to wear the mask under her nose because she could not breathe. Caller stated that she did not have this problem before receiving the COVID vaccine. On Monday (24May2021), she felt like she was coming down with a cold. Caller stated that she thought that might be her trouble breathing was from her cold-like symptoms, but she does not think it was, because she was not experiencing any cold-like symptoms on Sunday and was only having trouble breathing. She experienced coughing, sneezing, itching eyes/nose, chills, and headache. On Wednesday (26May2021), she started feeling nauseated (got very nauseous), not feeling good, she was getting a headache and had caught a cold.

Yesterday (26May2021), the chills went away, she has not had any chills today, but she does not know if she will have any from this point on. She believed that she has recovered with lasting effects. Caller stated that not feeling well was ongoing and persisting, but then stated that she feels it was worsening. Yesterday, she just felt nauseous, today she woke up with her stomach hurting very badly and abdominal pain; her weakness has continued. Yesterday she took pantoprazole for the abdominal pain and Tylenol for the pain and headache. She stated that she had a slight headache that is now coming and going, clarifies that it is persisting. Caller thought the reason that her stomach is hurting was because of her stomach acid problem. She deals with a strict diet that she must follow for things she was not supposed to have. Since she had the COVID shot, she believes it was affecting the acid problems in her stomach. Caller clarified that she was calling to see what she should do, if she should go see a doctor or if this is normal. The outcome of events Dyspnoea, Asthenia, Sneezing, Headache, stomach hurting, Itchy was not resolved. The outcome of events of Nausea, started not feeling good, Cold like symptoms was resolving.

Approximately 10 minutes after receiving the shot, I started to have a bit of swelling in my throat that was almost identical to the reactions I get from foods I am allergic to with my Oral Allergy Syndrome. Another 10-15 minutes later, it had gotten worse to the point where it was harder to swallow, plus I was a bit lightheaded and my mouth was itchy. The people monitoring the post vaccine waiting section didn?t want me walking around, so they sent someone to my car to get my liquid Benadryl, which is what I take for similar reactions to foods. I took about 50-75 mg worth and waited for an additional hour or so until the swelling had gone down mostly. Now (at almost 7 pm on the same day), I still have a tiny bit of swelling in addition to the ?normal? vaccine side effects, tiredness, soreness in my whole body, headache, pain at injection site.

The patient stated that she had not received a vaccine in several years but that the last time she did, she blacked out for maybe 30 seconds and felt dizzy. She states she thinks it was because she did not eat that day and stood up too quickly because she felt ok after. I notified (pharmacist) to be on stand by in case any incidence occurred and we had smelling salts and epipen on hand. I had the patient sit in the vaccine chair afterwards and about 3 minutes later, she started screaming to the top of her lungs that she felt like she was going to die. She screamed that she couldn't breathe and that her chest and head were "killing her". She kept screaming to remove the vaccine out of her arm (the liquid). Her eyes were starting to roll, but I knew she was breathing because she was screaming to not let her die. Her mother was with her and was very nervous and wanted emergency services, so We called 911. I took the girls hands and asked her to look me in the eyes and follow my deep breaths, because I began to think it was more of a panic attack. She followed by breaths and regained some composure but was sweating profusely, so I began fanning her. After a while of talking her through taking deep breaths and assuring her she was breathing and we had emergency services on the way, she began to calm down. EMS showed up about 15-20 minutes later and she declined to go with them. I stayed with the patient the entire time. She did not faint. I believe she just had a panic attack from working herself up about the vaccine. She was a little scared since she had fainted with the last vaccine.

Patient is a registered nurse at facility. She reported having slight itchy lips and scratchy throat after 1st dose. Patient very much wanted full protection that 2nd dose offers in order to be safe and keep family members safe. We discussed the possibility of an increased reaction, but she wanted to go ahead and felt the benefits outweighed the risk. I considered the fact that she is a health care professional, was fully informed and that we were at a skilled nursing facility and were prepared in case she had any reaction. About 10 minutes after vaccination she seemed to be coughing and felt like her throat was maybe swelling. She seemed to be breathing ok, but I asked her to take a Benadryl, which she did. Within 5-10 minutes after that she began shaking and seemed very pale. She said her symptoms were getting worse. I told her I was going to administer an epi-pen dose. 911 was called, I administered the epipen, we had heart rate monitor and pulse ox monitor on patient and she was stable, but scared. EMT's arrived and transported patient to ER. She was later released with Benadryl.

I received my second dose of the COVID vaccine around 12:30 pm. At around 4:00 pm, I noticed that my lips were slightly swollen. I went and bought liquid Benadryl. At around 5:45 pm, I took 20ml of the liquid Benadryl. I proceeded to sleep the rest of the night. I woke up around 8:20 am the next morning and noticed that my lips were significantly more swollen. I took 20ml more of the liquid Benadryl and noticed that my tongue was a little swollen as well. At around 9:40 am, I took 20ml more of liquid Benadryl. I noticed no change in my swelling and my throat started to feel like there was a lump. At around 10:20 am, I drove to the emergency room. The doctor noticed swelling in my lips and some in my tongue and throat. I was given cimetidine and methylprednisolone through an IV, which reduced the swelling.

About 10 minutes after vaccine, I was going out to give another vaccine and saw pt in distress. Got her in vaccination room and got 2 Benadryl from Emergency Bag down her - pt was able to talk but her wheezing was getting progressively worse so we called her emergency person (because she wanted to take herself to ER) to take her and let them know what was happening then I called 911 because even I could tell it was getting worse (Pt was reluctant to take an EpiPen - wanted to wait til it was worse) Dispatch highly recommended EpiPen and since I felt it was getting worse also I gave an EpiPen from Emergency Bag as well. Within 5 minutes pt was clearly doing better. Kept her in room just to stave off gawkers since we had 5 other shots waiting in waiting room - took ambulance about 15 minutes to arrive ... but that gave pt mom time to get to the store and accompany pt to ER with ambulance.

About five to ten minutes after I received my first shot, I started to feel like my throat was closing a little. I knew it wasn?t an allergic reaction because I could still speak, but I also became very dizzy and sweaty. I stood up to go see the nurse and she took my blood pressure and it was slightly higher than normal and my heart rate was extremely elevated. I sat down on a stretcher and felt incredibly light headed and gained a metallic taste in my mouth. I also felt very nauseous and started experiencing chest pains. It felt like a panic attack but more severe and more sudden. My throat felt very tight but I could still talk, and my cheeks felt like they were on fire. My face was bright red. They gave me some water and monitored me some more and encouraged me to go to the hospital, but my symptoms subsided after about 35 minutes. After that I just felt tired and didn?t have any more symptoms.

I got the first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine at the Medical University. Approximately 10 minutes after administration, an allergic reaction began while I was driving alone in my car. Most notably my blood pressure dropped suddenly, causing me to almost pass out. I stopped driving and my symptoms worsened. Symptoms included shaking, sweating, nausea, confusion, rapid heart rate, red blotchy face, slightly labored breathing, itching and slight swelling of my tongue and lips, anxiety. I could still breathe, so I did not seek treatment, but sat in the parking lot of a medical building for at least an hour for symptoms to subside. Symptoms were acute for about 45 minutes and gradually decreased over four hours. The rest of the day and the next day I felt extremely weak. The following six weeks I continued to have swollen, dry, painful lips every single day and a very itchy rash on my hands and wrists. Occasionally I would wake up with swelling around my eyes. I also had an unusual reaction after eating a salad where my lips swelled even more and became numb, along with an itchy mouth. These long lasting symptoms did not go away until I got a steroid cream from a dermatologist, who denied that my reactions were from the vaccine after talking to me for only five minutes. I just believe that there are many more cases of reactions to the vaccines that have not been reported.

Throat closing; Shortness of breath; Swollen throat; Dizziness/ Lightheaded; Wheezing; Allergic reaction; had a combination of allergies specially to PEG in the vaccine; This is spontaneous report received from a contactable consumer (patient's mother). A 22-year-old female patient received 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, LOT number: EW0151, expiration date unknown) via an unspecified route of administration at left upper arm on 04Apr2021 07:30 AM (reported as 06:30 or 07:30, probably 07:30) at age of 22-year-old at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) from Jan2021 and gastro stuff. Patient was previously diagnosed with tachycardia, but this was a misdiagnosis. She had a cardiac implant, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong, so her daughter saw a new cardio, and she has been good. Patient was previously had a reaction to Miralax. Concomitant medications included metoprolol tartrate which was taken for several years for POTS, lorazepam (ATIVAN) for panic attacks (started taking 2-3 years ago, maybe 1.5 years ago, when she went off to college, caller clarified it was 2 years ago), escitalopram oxalate (LEXAPRO) for panic disorder and anxiety (started about two years ago and was off for about a month). There was no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect. There was no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Caller stated the patient had a reaction to the first shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. She had a severe reaction. Patient had a combination of allergies specially to PEG in the vaccine. Patient spent the entire day in urgent care. She had a swollen throat and dizziness right after receiving the vaccine (04Apr2021). She was wheezing and lightheaded. Patient was given an ep-pen and Benadryl. It took a while to bring it down. Patient had Pfizer's COVID 19 vaccine on 04APR2021, and had an immediate allergic reaction including throat closing, wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, with the first shot, so caller needed to call to report it, caller's cousin is a pharmacist, and said to call. Patient was not taken to the hospital, caller ended up taking the patient to urgent care, they had talked patient out of it, and the doctor was livid, patient's doctor was working at the site that morning. Caller stated she is a busy worker, and today is the first day she is getting to this, and getting things squared away. She knew her daughter has a 60-day window to decide if she was going to get the second, and she wanted to get it, but the reaction was horrible, it was in her daughter's best interest, they were talking at the hospital, and caller needed to talk to someone to figure it out. Patient's doctor didn't know. Caller's cousin is a pharmacist and talked to them and said, because caller stated her daughter had had a reaction to Miralax, too and her cousin said that has PEG, which her cousin said was what Moderna and Pfizer have, so caller didn't know. Her daughter ended up going to urgent care, stayed there, and was calmer, her vitals settled after the Epi Pen, and caller understood it is the protocol with Epi Pen, that she has to be monitored medically, so patient was monitored at Urgent Care until 1PM, and her daughter was like, it wore her out, so that was the response. Her daughter has recovered completely, but it took a few days, to go back to herself, patient has a cardiac condition, POTS, and gastro stuff, and caller was trying to get her medical stuff squared away, and this definitely didn't help. Caller stated they would be trying to wean her daughter off Metoprolol. caller stated it's Ivabradine, but her daughter has not started it yet, since it has side effects with vision, so her daughter was waiting to go to the eye doctor to take that, so she was taking Metoprolol. Lexapro was stopped trying to get ready for this heart medicine, so they were waiting to figure out all this, before they start that. No further details provided. Caller read from paperwork, which said allergic reaction NOS, drug reaction allergic. Then there was cardio stuff, then it said Cardiac monitoring, oximetry, CBC with automated differential; Hcg beta qualitative urine, IV saline lock. When asked for results, caller said she saw results, but that must be where it's connected with another hospital. Stated she can fax the results. It was reported that patient had a follow up at doctor's office for the events. Event throat closing was reported as serious as medically significant. Onset date of the events was 04Apr2021. Outcome of the events was recovered. Report 1 of 2. Caller was provided with phone number and hours of operation prior to cold transfer onto the line, due to a high call volume, to wait for the next available agent. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

About 3 days later, I started noticing shortness of breath. Mine had just caused really bad allergies. I thought it was just my allergies causing the shortness of breath. After my allergies stopped for the season, I was still having shortness of breath. About a week or two after getting my vaccine I started noticing that my dizzy spells started getting worse. I was having light headedness. I was having these beforehand, but after the vaccine they were worse. I would normally just get a little head rush (like standing up too fast), but now my vision starts getting black from the outside coming in. I almost pass out. After about 3-5 seconds, I'm able to gather myself and keep myself from passing out. I also noticed that my heart cannot take as much strain as it used to. I was having palpitations. It feels like it's attempting to stop beating. It now is triggered more easily. It's very hard for me to catch my breath and I get worn out super easily. I went and saw my PCP about 2 weeks ago for a regular routine visit and I informed her about my symptoms. She said everything looked fine and in normal ranges. They sent records to a pap specialist. I am still waiting to hear back from them to do some testing. I also talked with my therapist about some of the issues I've had because we thought it might be anxiety related, but we ruled that out. It is more medical.

3/15/21: began feeling short of breath with any exertion as well as having tachycardia. Went to get covid tested and was negative, vitals were heart rate 169 at and they sent me to an ER to be evaluated for possible . While at Hospital my heart rate continued to be 150-160 while resting and elevated with movement. D dimer was elevated at 1.67. CT angiogram of Pulmonary arteries was negative. Troponin was negative x3. Wbc were 3.08. EKG showed sinus tachycardia with possible left atrial enlargement. Tested again for covid and was negative. Hospitalized for 1 night for observation. Discharged 3/16/21 with a 1 month heart monitor. Had follow up visit with PCP on 3/19/21. Heart rate in office was 120s. EKG was performed, lying down my heart rate dropped to 70s. Orthostatic vitals were obtained. Heart rate increased with sitting and standing and blood pressure continued to decrease. Magnesium level and echocardiogram were then obtained and both came back normal. I had to be off of work for over a month due to heart rate and symptoms with it. 3/28/21: covid test performed, negative for 3rd time. 4/1/21: tilt table exam performed. Heart rate laying was 100, tilted up went well over 170 with almost passing out and shaking uncontrollably in the first 7 minutes of the test. Cardiologist ruled it as inappropriate sinus tachycardia. 4/20/21: office visit with cardiologist. Cardiologist notes, "Impression inappropriate sinus tachycardia with hypersensitivity of sinus node. Post viral syndrome without evidence of flu or Covid with negative testing. History of being previously vaccinated." Cardiologist stated to me it was most likely vaccination related since he has seen cases like this recently. Had to be put on beta blocker atenolol 12.5 mg and still taking it to this day. Heart rate still occasionally increases to 140s while on medication but is overall controlled.

A 22-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm, on 04May2021 12:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EL9269), as dose 1, single, at age 22 years old, for COVID-19 immunization, at a pharmacy/drug store. The patient was not pregnant at the time of vaccination. Medical history included Hashimoto's disease, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Raynaud's disease, all from unknown dates, not reported if ongoing or not. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination and was not tested for COVID-19 since the vaccination. The patient received unspecified medications within 2 weeks of vaccination (unspecified concomitant medications). On 07May2021 (also reported as "around day 3 or day 4"), the patient started to get dizzy. On the same day, 07May2021, the patient felt like have a stroke because she could not make thoughts. She had pitting in left leg (also reported as "pitting in left left", pending clarification), which was pale and had veins showing, and she was struggling to breathe and was weak. On 09May2021 (also reported as "about day 5"), her heart rate was very low and she noticed circulation issues. On 11May2021 (also reported as "day 7"), her legs swelled up so bad. On 14May2021 (also reported as "day 10"), the patient's thyroid or throat area was pounding. The events resulted to emergency room and physician's office visits. Treatment for the events included turmeric and aspirin which the patient took every day, multiple times a day. Blood work on an unspecified date mostly came back normal. The patient reported the events were better in two weeks. Her physician advised her to skip the second dose. However, the patient received the second dose out of "fear of missing out" on 25May2021 12:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0178) in the left arm. The patient was recovering from the events. Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.

Immediately upon administration of covid19 vaccination, patient became flushed (face and arms), dizzy and nauseous. Patient also reported vision changes (seeing spots) Flushing resolved in about 5 minutes and nausea/dizziness in about 10-15 minutes while patient was monitored by pharmacy staff. Patient reported heavy breathing at this time believed due to anxiety but was continued to be monitored by staff. After about 20 minutes patient was able to stand briefly and moved to another chair to relax and to continue monitoring. At this time most symptoms had resolved but patient still reported feeling uneasy and a little disoriented. Water was provided and pharmacy staff continued to sit with patient until patient felt that she had calmed down and reported no further adverse conditions. After sitting for another 10 minutes patient stood on her own, was stable and felt comfortable returning to work.

I have been having trouble breathing since I had the vaccine done. I get really bad chest pains just from laying down and it is a daily struggle to do everyday things like walking because I get short of breath really easily after I had the vaccine done. It has been 3 and a half months now and I am still struggling trying to recover. My treatment right now is that my pulmonologist put me on Symbicort to see if it could give me a little bit of relief and I am still being seen by the cardiologist as well, and I am also using my rescue inhaler Albuterol HFA more often than before. I am taking Singulair and I was also put on a heart monitor for 2 days to check my heart rhythm to see if that has anything to do with the chest pains I have been feeling

Eyelids started to swell up/swell up a little bit; Eyes were still a little puffy; My eyelids started to get hives; My lips started tingling; my throat start to tighten; This happened after my first dose that my immune system is just more hypersensitive to my allergies; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 22-years-old non-pregnant female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection) via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 16Mar2021 10:00 (age at vaccination was 22 years) (Batch/Lot number: EL8982) as first dose, single for COVID-19 immunization. The patient was not pregnant at the time of vaccination. Medical history included allergies to pure soy (ie. Soybeans, soy milk), pollen, itchy red eyes and eyelid probably due to mild to moderate pollen allergies. There were no concomitant medications. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Patient reported that before getting the vaccine at 10AM, she woke up with itchy red eyes and eyelid probably due to mild to moderate pollen allergies. On 17May2021 (The next day at 3pm), after patient got the first dose her eyelids started to swell up so she took Benadryl that night. 48 hours after the first dose (17Mar2021 at 15:00), her eyes were still a little puffy so she took 2 Benadryl. At around 6-7pm, eyelids started to get hives and swell up a little bit and about an hour later lips started tingling and felt her throat started to tighten. She immediately took another Benadryl and went to the hospital as the swelling started to subside. Patient was possibly thinking that maybe since that happened after her first dose that her immune system was just more hypersensitive to her allergies. The adverse events required emergency room/department or urgent care and Physician office visit. Since the vaccination, the patient had been tested for COVID-19. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included PCR Covid test: negative on 18Mar2021. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the events with diphenhydramine (BENADRYL) and prednisone (DELTASONE). The outcome of the events was recovering. Follow up attempts are needed; Additional information has been requested. Follow-Up (28Jun2021): Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.

I began to have paresthesias in my lower extremities, which progressed to saddle anesthesia over about a week?s time. I then developed acute urinary retention. I could also not have a bowel movement at that time. In the ER, I was cathed and they also performed an enema, believing I was constipated but nothing came out, leading me to believe that it was a loss of nerve function. They also performed an emergency MRI which showed no nerve compression (ruling out cauda equina syndrome). I left because I believed I could urinate at home. I was not able to urinate until mid morning the next day. After this, I was seen by a neurologist who believed I may have multiple sclerosis. However, my work up came back negative. At the same time, the paresthesias continued to ascend into my hands and I could not sit due to overwhelming pain and saddle anesthesia/LE parenthesis. As this began to resolve, I woke up from sleep multiple times in a row for 3 nights gasping for air because I stopped breathing spontaneously (even with sitting up and changing positions). I recovered after this symptom resolved and have been completely fine since. I am a PA student and I truly believe that I had a Guillian Barre type reaction to the vaccine.

This nurse reported similar events for 3 patients. This is the first of 3 reports. A 23-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) lot number: EK9231, intramuscular in the right deltoid, first dose on 27Dec2020 14:15 at a single dose for covid-19 prevention. Medical history included ongoing asthma and reactive airway which she was diagnosed when she was like 5 years old (2002). Concomitant medication included albuterol [salbutamol] for asthma which started when she was 8 years old or so. The patient wanted to know if she can receive the second dose of covid vaccine after experiencing symptoms of allergic reaction like rash, tightness in throat, and lump in throat. She wanted to know the ingredients and specific proteins in the covid vaccine. The patient received the COVID Vaccine and she developed a reaction. On 27Dec2020, she had a red rash on her chest, and her cheeks were flushed, and the rash was on her arms too, and she had a tightness and lump in her throat, it was not painful to swallow but she could feel the pressure with swallowing. She stated that she did not experience shortness of breath, but regardless, she was seen in the ER and she was given IV SOLUMEDROL, and BENADRYL, and she was watched for 5 or 6 hours and then she was sent home with an Epi Pen, around the clock Benadryl, and prednisone. She asked the ER doctors if they thought it was okay for her to receive the second dose of the product, and they told her to contact employee health for that question. She mentioned that she contacted that employee health and was told to contact her primary care provide which she did. Her primary care doctor instructed the caller to call Pfizer and gather some more information regarding ingredients, as the she may have had the reaction to a particular protein filler. She was also wondering if this is a known reaction to the product. She received the vaccine on 27Dec2020 at 2:15 PM. She reported that the red rash on her chest and arms, and her cheeks being flushed, resolved yesterday after receiving IV BENADRYL. Had a tightness and lump in her throat which was still ongoing, and it was kind of off and on and when the she takes Benadryl it goes away. She reported that this one is medically significant because even though she did not have shortness of breath, it could have affected her airway. She confirmed that she received no other vaccines on the same day as the COVID vaccine. The outcome of the events 'had a tightness and lump in her throat', allergic reaction was not recovered (a s reported); while recovered on 27Dec2020 for allergic reaction like rash/red rash on her chest and rash was on her arms too and cheeks were flushed.; Sender's Comments: Based on temporal association, the causal relationship between bnt162b2 and the events throat tightness, sensation of foreign body, allergy to vaccine, rash erythematous and flushing cannot be excluded. This case will be reassessed once additional information becomes available. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.,Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2020517134 different patient, same drug and same event;US-PFIZER INC-2020517133 different patient, same drug and same event.

Per email received on 1/18-So I had my first dose of Pfizer?s covid vaccine last Friday (3pm). I experienced several side effects that day: lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, nausea, throat constriction leading to shortness of breath and difficulty in swallowing, hives, flushed face, and fatigue. The throat constriction honestly frightened me and I almost went to the ER, but it eventually went away. For Saturday and Sunday, I developed fever, muscle ache, and extreme fatigue. Today, I thought it would get better but I still have fever and the extreme fatigue has not gone away. And unfortunately, as I am typing this, I think my tongue is getting quite swollen and is making it uncomfortable to breathe and swallow

Approximately 15 minutes after the vaccination the patient reported dizziness and possible rash on her upper chest. It was difficult to assess if the rash was truly a rash or it was simply skin lesions that were already present (patient claimed she did not know). It did not resemble a maculopapular rash. It marginally resembled minor hives/urticaria. Patient did not report any localized symptoms at injection site. Patient was informed to remain seated and that her vitals would be taken and she would be further observed. Then about 10 minutes after this (25 minutes after vaccination), patient reported difficulty breathing. Facial redness was noted at this point and patient's breathing sounded difficult. Emergency medical services were called and EpiPen was administered at this point. Patient began to tremble and pace of breathing increased. Emergency medical technicians arrived, took vitals / EKG, and assessed the patient. EMT assessment did not reveal urticaria. EMT instructed patient to control her breathing. The EMTs believe that it may not have been a true reaction but rather the patient may have been suffering from an anxiety attack. Patient was then taken to local ER for further evaluation.

A 23-year-old female patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) lot no: EL1283, via an unspecified route of administration on 09Jan2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient reported she got the Covid vaccine on Saturday, 09Jan2021, and immediately her throat felt like it was closing up, she was instantly reacting to the vaccine. Since then, she has had issues swallowing; it feels like her throat will close up and open up. She also felt dizzy, shaky, nauseous, extremely tired, and had a strong headache. She stated that diphenhydramine (BENADRYL) helps a lot with the throat symptoms and as long as she takes it, she feels almost normal but as soon as it is out of her system, it starts again. It's like she is having allergy and hay fever type symptoms. The lymph nodes in her neck feel like they are swollen, it feels like she has a big lump in the middle and sides of her throat. She just came back from the emergency room and they gave her diphenhydramine. She wanted to know if she should she get the second vaccine. Outcome of the events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: A causal association between BNT162B2 and throat tightness cannot be excluded based on a compatible temporal relation.

First 2 days after vaccination, I had some injection site pain that was improving. Day 5 after vaccination, I developed lymphadenopathy on my left side with swelling into the chest area developing on day 6. Day 8 after vaccination, my injection site turned red and itchy and I began to have trouble breathing. I went to urgent care. I saw P. A. She said that it was more likely that the difficulty breathing would be due to my asthma, but she could not recommend whether or not I should receive my second dose. She proscribed 20mg of Prednisone and refilled my albuterol prescription. About 20 hours later, my breathing is still difficult and my arm still itches. We also discussed that the respiratory symptoms could be caused or exasperated by COVID-19, so I am waiting on results from a covid test.

29 minutes after being given the vaccine my tongue started itching and swelled up a bit, my mouth felt dry, my face became a bit reddened, puffy, and itchy, my throat began to swell a bit and my chest felt tight, giving me some discomfort when it came to breathing. I let the nurses who were keeping an eye on those waiting for 15/30 minutes know that I was having a reaction. I waited 1 more minute, and when my throat felt tighter and I had a bit more difficulty breathing, I took 1 Benadryl tablet, and waited 2 minutes, and when the symptoms were still worsening slowly, I took a second Benadryl tablet and after a few minutes my symptoms started to go away. I waited another 10 minutes and then went home when it seemed that my symptoms were going away. At 6:45pm on 2/21/2021 my throat and chest started feeling tight again and gave me mild breathing discomfort, so I took another Benadryl tablet, a few minutes later my face began to itchy and my mouth felt dry and my tongue felt a bit swollen, whereupon I took a second Benadryl tablet at 6:56pm, and then felt a wave of nausea. At 6:59pm, the feeling of tightness had not abated, but also hadn't worsened noticeably, and the itching feeling began to spread from my face to my ears and down my neck. At 7:04pm the tightness of my throat and chest began to increase some, and I started to feel some anxiety. At 7:11pm I inhaled two puffs from an albuterol inhaler used for treating asthma as my throat and chest were continuing to slowly get tighter. At 7:26pm I still felt itchy and my throat and chest still felt tight, but it wasn't noticeably worse. At 7:35pm, my throat began to feel tight enough to give me noticeable discomfort while breathing and for me to make a slight wheezing sound while breathing, and my tongue felt like it swelled a bit more, and my mouth still felt dry. At 7:51pm the Benadryl made me feel sleepy, but had no effect on my itchy skin or tightness of throat or chest. 8:00pm, my throat and chest felt tighter and I started having some difficulty swallowing and I felt very warm. 8:05pm, I had a lot of difficulty swallowing and had trouble breathing, so I went to the Emergency Room and was given an Epinephrine shot and sent home after an hour of observation.

While waiting in after the vaccination I experience the slightest discomfort with my breathing but thought it might be related to double masking. Upon driving home, I realized I had non-itchy and non-painful hives on the upper portion of my right cheek and the lower jaw on the left side. As time progressed, the hives disappeared from left side and moved down the right side of my face. After it passed on the right side it reappeared on the left side and followed the same pattern. My dermatographia also returned on my chest and I haven't had an episode of it for over year. The roof of my mouth was also itchy. All hives, itchy mouth, and slight breathing discomfort passed by 7 pm without the use of an antihistamine. No other signs of allergic reaction has been noted since. Breathing concerns passed the quickest (after 2 or so hours), then itchy mouth, and last the non-itchy hives. Other than that, I experienced the common side effect of body aches during the night and pain in vaccinated arm.

i received the vaccine at 3pm on monday april 12th. i started shaking less than 5 minutes after i received the dose and my throat started to swell and i couldn?t swallow. they placed me under observation for 30 minutes and gave me water?saying that ?i might just be afraid of the needle and not to worry, this is an abnormally normal reaction to a new vaccine.? after 30 minutes a man walked over to me and said ?oh you?re still here?? and chuckled. they then told me i would be fine after a while and to leave. i started walking down the sidewalk and almost passed out so i called an uber to take me to the nearest urgent care. i arrived at urgent care around 4pm unable to swallow and having a reaction to the vaccine. they saw me immediately and gave me 3 50mg of prednisone and a benadryl and placed me under observation for 45 minutes. he said i looked better and i even felt marginally better. i called another uber and when i was almost home my tongue started to go numb as well as my lips and my breathing was becoming constricted. i had the uber driver pull over as i had to sit on the sidewalk and get some air. i then called another uber to the hospital because my symptoms were becoming increasingly more alarming. Hospital admitted me and gave me a shot of epinephrine and IV fluids and kept me under observation for 6 hours. they discharged me a little after midnight with a prescription for prednisone, epinephrine, and benadryl. if i had been administered epinephrine at the vaccine site on monday and not been told i was just squeamish by the male air force cadets?i probably wouldn?t still be short of breath, painfully swallowing, and bedridden.

I took 2 Benadryl gel pills at 18:03. I felt some difficulty breathing, and itching sensation all over my body and still had a lot of tension on the left side of my jaw. I went out to eat with my boyfriend, because we had plans and he had also complained of having some cold chills from the vaccine, and he noticed that I had red marks on my hands. By May 7 10:05 I called off of work to go my doctor, because I had massive splotches of raised itchy hives all over my body. It was confirmed that I was having an allergic reaction and I received a steroid shot in my upper gluteal muscle, as well as Famotidine 20mg twice daily for 5 days and Prednisone 20mg twice daily for 5 days.

From ED note: Briefly, this is a 23-year-old female with past medical history of not allergies, asthma who presents for evaluation of shortness of breath, nausea and chest discomfort following Covid vaccine 30 minutes prior to presentation. Patient received her first dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine this morning, was observed and ultimately started to drive home with mother when she developed shortness of breath, nausea and chest discomfort. These have been progressive. She reports she is not taking her Flovent. No vomiting, no rash, no weakness, headache or dizziness. Remainder of history per note above. Vital signs as noted above (tachycardia, tachypneic). On physical exam, the patient is anxious appearing, hyperventilating; HEENT exam with MMM, clear conjunctivae, normal TMs & clear oropharynx without uvular swelling or edema; neck is supple; cardiovascular exam is stable with regular rhythm, mild tachycardia, no murmurs; pulmonary exam is clear to auscultation bilaterally, good aeration, no wheezes; abdomen is soft, non-tender & non-distended; neurologic exam nonfocal, moves all four extremities, 5/5 strength in upper and lower extremities, carpal spasm of bilateral hands (L>R). My impression is that this patient is having a panic attack given her rapid onset of hyperventilation, chest discomfort, and bilateral carpal spasms. Carpal spasms improved with controlled breathing. Considered anaphylaxis given patient's history, but absolutely no wheezing, rash or significant GI symptoms; no hypoxia; no hypotension. Epi-pen at bedside, but not given. Considered asthma, but no wheezing - patient is not wheezing and has good aeration on exam, she is requesting albuterol, which I think will help with her anxiety surrounding this - 2 puffs given. No evidence of persistent tachycardia to suggest PE (no OCPS). Initial ECG with sinus arrhythmia, one PVC, slightly prolonged QTc 477 - will check repeat. Patient briefly on NRB for comfort - slowly able to be weaned off and during observation in ED, symptoms improving but not completely resolved. Repeat ECG w/ NSR, slightly prolonged QTc 460. Given persistence of symptoms, patient given epi-pen and had almost complete resolution of symptoms within 10 minutes. We will plan to observe for 4 hours post-epi administration. Recommended discussion of second COVID vaccine with primary care provider but may have to avoid given this could have represented a serious allergic reaction. Recommend follow-up with PCP/cardiology for repeat EKG. Admit to Ed Observation Status Diagnosis: Allergic reaction Goals of observation: (1) Ensure continued improvement of symptoms, (2) Improved HR Interventions: (1) CRM, (2) Close monitoring, (3) Frequent exams 5/7/2021 15:00 23-year-old female received COVID-19 vaccine today and after which developed shortness of breath. Initially felt this was anxiety however symptoms persisted. Treated with albuterol as well as epinephrine and observed. Developed shortness of breath and complaints of chest pain after approximately 3 hours of observation. Repeat EKG obtained and is normal. Labs were obtained which demonstrated normal CBC. Normal D-dimer. Normal electrolytes but an elevated TSH (known hyperthyroidism). Treated with cetirizine and steroids with improvement of her symptoms. Discharged with PCP follow-up in 2 days.

At 2 AM I woke up with a tight and heavy chest. It was difficult to breathe and I used an oximeter to check my O2, which showed 99% saturation. I checked my temperature but that was normal, around 97 F. I tried different positions to make breathing easier but the pressure would not lift. Around 3 AM I used my (expired) inhaler. Almost immediately I could feel my chest getting lighter. I used my inhaler again around 10 am. The chest tightness did not lift a noticable amount until around 2 PM. By 5 PM all tightness had subsided.

A 23-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 17Apr2021 (Lot Number: EW0162) (at the age of 23-year-old) as single dose for covid-19 immunization.

A family member had some reaction to the first pfizer covid-19 vaccine. Wanted to know where can she find information to determine if the second vaccine shot is safe. 40 minutes from the time of the injection the back of her tongue felt numb and her throat was itchy then sore. About 40 minutes after that those symptoms went away. Later in the day she had chest pain and not quite normal breathing. After using her asthma inhaler twice in a short time this dissapated. Fatigue remained for about a week. Her daughter was prescribed Metronidazole 500mg (she initially thought it was penicillin) and the packaging information of the antibiotic says not to receive any vaccines. She was scheduled for her second dose next Tuesday (18May2021) and wanted to know if it would this be applicable to the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccine. Mother calling on behalf of daughter who received the first dose of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccine on 17Apr2021. She was told to wait 30 minutes after the vaccine and was okay, however after 40 minutes after the vaccine she developed a numb tongue, her throat was sore and itchy. This subsided within about 30 minutes (also reported as 40 minutes). About 4 hours after the vaccine she developed chest pain and uncomfortable breathing. Her daughter states her lungs felt swollen, and was out of breath walking up the steps. She did use her AuviQ and albuterol inhaler and the first dose of AuviQ didn't work so she repeated it and it helped. She called the doctor and used her peak flow meter and the doctor on call stated that her reading was okay and did not need further medical attention. After that evening those side effects went away. Caller has a past medical history of asthma and allergies to bulldogs. If she was even around someone who has been near a bull dog she will develop chest symptoms. Mother spoke with CDC and they told her as long as her daughter didn't go to the ER it was okay for her to receive the vaccine and wanted to know if she get her second dose of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccine. She is scheduled to receive it next Tuesday (18May2021). Her doctor said that some people react to the polyethylene glycol and want to know if she could get tested for that. After the patient received the vaccine, her tongue was numb and her throat was sore and itchy but it went away. This started 40 minutes after the patient received the vaccine. 4 hours after the patient received the vaccine, she had chest pain and heavy breathing. The caller is nervous because the patient has only had this chest pain during a severe allergic reaction in the past. The patient do about the second dose. The patient was also prescribed an antibiotic this week and the antibiotic paperwork said not to have any vaccines while taking that product. The patient is due for the second dose of the vaccine this week, is it okay to get because she will still be on the penicillin. This event happened after receiving the first dose of the vaccine on 17Apr2021. The patient also had fatigue for a week. The patient had the heavy breathing that was more of an irregular breathing.

Pt had a scheduled appt at 1235 pm for her 2nd dose of pfizer covid vaccine on 6/4/21 at our store . Pt stated that she had some "chest tightness" shortly after the first dose (~4/24/21). After reviewing VAR filled out by patient today, I consulted with pt about having a reaction to the first dose. Pt stated that EMS observed her for 30 minutes after the 1st vaccination and patient self-reports that she recovered without the use of an epi pen (pt does carry an epipen on her at all times) within that 30 minute window and was allowed to leave. We administered 2nd dose with the understanding that patient recovered from 1st dose with no breathing difficulties or swelling of tongue or throat (just chest tightness as reported by pt). After administering the second dose today, Pt began to show signs of an allergic reaction ~ 5 minutes after administration and we administered the epi-pen and 911 was called. Observed that pt vomited and complained of chest tightness, tight throat , difficulty breathing and being hot and "sleepy" after second shot. Pt appeared to be alert and oriented and was sitting in a chair. EMS arrived and pt is now under their care. We dont know the lot number of the 1st covid vaccination but the lot used today was EW0167 with an expiration of 8/31/21.

No prior vaccinations within 4 weeks.On 09Jul2021, she tested positive for Covid-19. States that she does not know the exact strain that it was. She is trying to get genome sequencing done so that they can find out. She has one but, she is (withheld) and has a PCP back home. She hasn't given them any info about her having Covid yet. She hasn't called her physician. She saw someone in the clinic. She hasn't told them yet, so she wants to call them first. In the clinic, they assumed it was as sinus infection and the prescribed her with Amoxicillin. She was taking it last week when she didn't know that she had it yet. She is still taking it right now. They gave her nasal spray and she did that for 2 days completely and it is clear now. She had every possible symptom she can think of. On Tuesday, 06Jul2021, she woke up with a horrible stomach ache and diarrhea. When she got to campus, she was more exhausted on 06Jul2021 and just felt ill and run down, not herself on 06Jul2021. Her voice was so gone. She did not feel good on 06Jul2021. She felt like that is probably because she took the vaccine while she was sick. She had all this work to do, so she went through it. She took her Vyvanse medication instead of resting and it almost masked the symptoms but, she felt ok for an hour, then all of a sudden she had to go to bed because she felt so sick. She just thought it was food she had eaten because of her birthday. She had eaten cake and a whole lot of junk food. She usually eats really healthy. She went to clinic that morning to see patients. She also had no voice and it was very crackly/ Voice was gone and was very cracky on 06Jul2021. Her throat didn't hurt, it was just very sore and her vocal chords were hurting on 06Jul2021. It hurt to talk. Those were the only 2 symptoms she had the first day. She felt ill, fatigued and her body started to hurt and she felt really tired. She came home and didn't feel like she usually did. She just felt really sick. She could taste and smell, it was all still there. She is still getting the runs though out the day. She was with family and 2 friends and did not pass anything on to them. They are all vaccinated. That night, she was exhausted and went to bed early, then she was freezing cold, had the chills but didn't take her temperature in Jul2021. She took Nyquil and Dayquil. She woke up again at night and was freezing and shaking and Woke up in a puddle of sweat and hair was soaking wet and dripping in Jul2021. She felt horrible. She thought she caught the flu and was not thinking that it was Covid in Jul2021. That day, she kind of tried to get though school and do work online. She was feeling really crummy. All of those symptoms, she had the next couple of days. Then her Nose really runny and super congested in Jul2021. her throat didn't really hurt but she had a kind of deep cough in Jul2021. This was the last night before she saw the doctor. She had tried going for testing the day before but the lines were 3 hours. She booked a test and a doctor's appointment for the next day because she thought she caught the cold or flu. One night, she woke up again and it was the same, with chills and sweat but, her chest was really sore. It felt like pressure on her chest in Jul2021. It felt not normal, like it was maybe a variant. She was super contagious and vaccines may not be fully effective against them. She felt horrible in her chest and it was hard to breathe in Jul2021. When going up and down the stairs, she would get really tired and was out of breath. She tested at the Drive through. It was a nasal swab in each nostril. That night, 08Jul2021, when she had dinner, she couldn't taste anything or smell anything on 08Jul2021. She thought, it must be Covid. The next day, she went to the clinic and saw a Nurse Practitioner. She made her put her head down to see if there was pressure in the sinuses. She tested her breathing and her lungs, everything was clear. She didn't really think it was Covid. She put her on amoxicillin and has been taking that ever since. She tested positive (09Jul2021) was when she was starting to feel better but really, she was still tired and exhausted. Her energy was very low in Jul2021. She was only really sick for 3 full days. On Saturday, she was really lethargic on 10Jul2021 and fatigued. She knew she was getting better, just not 100 percent. When she knew that it was Covid, if it wasn't for the vaccine, she didn't think she would be able to tough it out. She still can't taste or smell at the moment. She is in self isolation. She feels completely normal. If she hadn't gotten the Covid test, she would have never thought that it was Covid. She feels 90% right now. She is back to studying. Horrible stomach ache and Diarrhea: Did not last very long, would say, like 30 minutes and then it passed. Still has diarrhea every morning but it may because of the amoxicillin. Lethargy and fatigue and all of the other symptoms: They were all on 6Jul2021, 7Jul2021 and 8Jul2021. On 9Jul2021, she started to get better. Treatment included Before Friday, when she saw the Nurse practitioner on 9Jul2021, she started taking the Flonase. She only did it a couple of times. It was fluticasone propionate, Flonase nasal spray and Sodium chloride nasal spray, 1 spray in each nostril. She only did it 3 times since she got it.

4/4: Woke up Easter Sunday with the following symptoms: sweats, chills, uncontrollable shaking, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Went to Urgent Care, but it was closed for the holiday, so instead went to ER. See Item 19 for details. I was discharged within an hour because there was nothing seriously wrong with me, doctor wrote it off as a stomach bug and ordered me to rest and hydrate. 4/4 - 4/10: Virtually every day for this week went the exact same. I would wake up between 6-7am, feel nauseous, weak, no appetite, and shaking. Walking around my apartment would leave me utterly exhausted. I would nap from 9am-12pm, then again from 2-4pm. Ate very little, drank water and sports drinks when awake. Breathing was still shaky. Occasional diarrhea. 4/10: Although slightly less ill than the previous 6 days, I still felt weak, shaky, and exhausted. I went back to Urgent Care this time, and the doctor examined me. She noted my left ear was very inflamed and suspected an ear infection. She prescribed me a week of amoxycilin and told me to rest and eat bland foods. 4/12: After 2 days on the antibiotics, some of my symptoms cleared. I was no longer shaking or having shortness of breath, and although still tired, I did not sleep for half the day as I had the previous week. My appetite was not fully there yet, and in the mornings of this week I would wake up feeling nauseous for about 2 hours. On this day 4/12 my period also started, which is unusual. It was not due to start until around April 17th. My period is very regular and light due to being on birth control, so I consider this abnormal. The flow was also very heavy. 4/17: Heavy flow of my period slows significantly and is now just a slight pink/brown color. I only need a liner to contain it. This is also my last day of antibiotics, so I buy a probiotic supplement in the hopes that it will help settle my gut. 4/17-present (4/20): The morning nausea and lack of appetite are still present despite being off the antibiotics. Occasional discomfort in abdomen/chest. Unexplained muscle soreness in hips, legs, back, and chest. My bowel movement schedule has also completely changed. Normally I do not experience a bowel movement until late morning, after 10am. But for the past 2 weeks I have been woken up around 5:30am with a sudden urge. At the beginning of my illness it was diarrhea but now it has transitioned to slightly more solid feces. It is not really diarrhea anymore.

- 24 hours after felt typical, fatigue, achs, and nausea - 4 days after my second dose I got severe upper back pain for two weeks (no prior history of back pain ever) - 10 days after my second dose I began to have severe acid reflux after anything and everything I ate. These symptoms have lasted for over seven weeks and are so bad to the point I cannot eat or sleep and have sought out emergency medical attention. In this same time period, I got what my doctors believe is Eosinophilic Esophagitis where my throat is now chronically inflamed, making it difficult to swallow. I am also experiencing extreme fatigue, anxiety, and mood swings when I never had a history of this. I have tried taking several medications and PPI's with no success as well as trying every type of diet and lifestyle change possible with no success.

allergy; Short of breath; Tachycardia/my heartrate was like 140 - 150; Blood pressure was like 165 over 114/my blood pressure just like skyrocketed; Upset stomach; Tired; Started to feel not very good/not feeling like wonderful/overall sickness; Muscle ache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 25-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), lot number: EL014 (can't really tell), via an unspecified route of administration on 31Dec2020 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included allergy and heartburn. Concomitant medication included omeprazole for heartburn, cetirizine hydrochloride (off-brand for Zyrtec) as allergy medicine and a birth control medicine. Consumer stated, she just was calling this number because she didn't necessarily know if she had an adverse reaction or a symptom. She just wanted to report it and see if maybe you had any insight if this has happened to anybody else. Consumer further stated, she had an adverse reaction where she had to go to the emergency room. So, she didn't know if it was from the Vaccine or not because her reaction was very delayed. She got her vaccine on 31Dec2020, New Year's Eve and then starting on Monday after the vaccine on 04Jan2021. She started to feel not very good, it was mostly just like overall sickness, just as muscle aches, tired, having upset stomach so that was after 4 days. Patient had allergy from an unspecified date. And then on 07Jan2021, a week after she got the vaccine, she had signs of tachycardia and her blood pressure just like skyrocketed, her blood pressure was like 165 over a 114 and her heartrate was like 140 - 150. And she worked in healthcare, which was why she was one of the first ones to get the vaccine and she went to the ER and got worked up and they couldn't find, nothing was abnormal with her labs or blood work. She even had a chest X-ray and they couldn't find anything and they just gave her fluids and sent her home. And she was home now and still not feeling like wonderful, she felt better though but she just wanted to report that and see if there was any correlation. She didn't really know because it was so delayed, a week later. So she just wanted to report it. Consumer further stated, she forget to tell one thing, she was also short of breath on 07Jan2021. So that was why they had sent her to ER because of Tachycardia, shortness of breath and her blood pressure was really high. They didn't give her any medicine they just gave two big bags of fluid and then they discharged her. Consumer stated, she was scheduled to have her second one, she thought it was 14Jan2021. She wanted to know if she should get the second one. Consumer stated, when she went into the ER she had a lot of lab work. She didn't even know what all they did but a lot like, blood panels, she checked everything was there, that was on Thursday, last week, 07Jan2021. Consumer stated no treatment was received for the events.

approximately 5 min after receiving the vaccine, felt flushed and a swelling sensation in the throat. Felt like a globes sensation without itching or hives. Nurses at vaccine site checked vitals multiple times. BP at start of symptoms 152/106, HR 140, O2 sat 99%. EMS was called but I did not feel symptoms were worsening, my lungs were clear without wheezing or stridor. I made the decision to not have EMS transport me to the ER. Symptoms improved so I decided to not go to the ER. Symptoms returned moderately for which I took 25 mg tab of Benadryl. As time progressed, symptoms waxed and waned, about 4 hours after the vaccine the globus sensation in the throat has improved, but there is a globs sensation in the lower esophagus, almost GERD-like in nature.

Within 15 minutes my vision began to blur, I became shaky and disoriented. My heart rate increased and it felt as though my blood pressure decreased rapidly. After 30 minutes my symptoms had worsened and I was so disoriented I was not able to seek medical attention while being observed. I exited the building and once I got into my car my face (specifically under my eyes and on my cheeks) began swelling and a red burning rash appeared. By the time I got home (10 more minutes) I needed Benadryl immediately, I was not able to complete my sentences and all other symptoms had become more intense. I continued to take Benadryl every 4 hours for the next few days due to the symptoms consistently rebounding. I had one episode of throat tightness but it passed without use of my epipen. I checked my pulse and blood pressure frequently with the lowest reading being 93/60. Lethargy, shakiness, confusion, high heart rate all are still present after 5 days.

I made sure to hydrate and eat well the day of the vaccine. I have had no allergic reactions to any medications/ injections in the past and I was not worried about this one. I didn't take any meds beforehand besides my normal morning modafinil. I have no fear of needles. I received the vaccine in the auditorium about 1:25pm. The RN did a fantastic job, went through all of the information, no pain at all with the injection. As I was sitting in my chair for monitoring, a few minutes in I began to feel very uncomfortable. I felt clammy/sweaty and kept shifting my weight in my seat. I didn't want to make a big deal of it at first because I worried it was all in my head. But I became more and more uncomfortable. I laid my head down on the little desk, no help. I closed my eyes, no help. About 10 minutes or so in I decided to ask if they had water available. I slowly got up and walked to the back of the room. I couldn't even get the question out of my mouth before the nurse told me to sit down. Apparently I was white as a ghost. They got a wheelchair and wheeled me to the space behind the auditorium. By then I was starting to feel like my throat was closing and I saw spots in my peripheral vision. It was kind of a blur from there. I tried to take deep breaths. I drank a few sips of water and poured some on a paper towel to wet my forehead (and spilled all over my lap because I was a little disoriented at this point). My BP was 60s/40s and then 60s/30s. A rapid response was called. They moved me to a cart flat on my back with my legs elevated. My fingers and toes were starting to go numb and my lips were apparently blue/ white. After laying for a few minutes in Trendelenburg my BP began to resolve and my breathing started to ease a bit. No further intervention was done by the rapid team. I was taken by the Rapid RN to the ED for monitoring. They eventually pushed the cart into a room and took some vitals and an EKG. They had me stand and move to a wheelchair. I felt horrible but improved from before. They had me sit in a wheelchair in the lobby for a few hours before taking me back and placing an IV and drawing labs (I believe it was 3 hours from the initial reaction). I gave a urine sample. They then put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me back into the lobby for some more time. Then, they wheeled me back to a room where they gave some lactated ringers and a PA and MD saw me. By then my BP and breathing was completely resolved. The MD said he wasn't fully convinced it was just a vasovagal episode because I haven't had issues with vaccines in the past and I was well hydrated and my HR was normal. It partly fit the picture for an allergic reaction/ severe immune response d/t the feeling of throat closing, the BP drop, and the elevated WBCs. They advised that I list the vaccine as an allergy and do not get the second dose, especially since I had COVID back in September.

fatigue; Throat tightness; sore throat; Rash; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 25-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm right on 06Mar2021 14:30 (Lot Number: EN6025) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included known allergies: Penicillin. No other vaccine received in four weeks. Concomitant medication included diphenhydramine hydrochloride (BENADRYL), took the week prior to receiving the vaccine. The patient previously took amoxicillin and experienced rash (Amoxicillin tablets. Had allergic reaction when taken 5-7 years ago and did experience similar skin rash, this is the only other reaction in lifetime). The patient experienced sore throat, throat tightness and rash, all on 06Mar2021 14:30. Clinical course: After receiving COVID 19 Vaccine, within one to two minutes of vaccine very strong sore throat and tightening of the throat. Was taken to emergency room by the ambulance that was at the testing center. At that time the ambulance at testing center recommended taking two Benadryl's, which started to work and sore throat and tightness completely went away about 15 minutes after that and then started to come back at time of riding in ambulance to the ER. While being written up and vitals checked, the rash (blotchy) developed to which she was given a Solumedrol steroid shot to fix the rash which amazingly cleared up rash and it ended up back to white. Had amazing clear photos of rash and it being red and sloshes starting to appear. After caller left ER and went home and had couple of follow up prescriptions of Pepcid and Atarax to help combat rash for two days. Now she was taking Allegra still for adverse events. Reporter mentioned sore throat was on and off but it had improved and still had a little bit of a rash. Caller had a little bit of tightness and it had improved if she exerted herself a lot the tightness got worse she wsn't referring to a big exertion but provided example like if she is going to the grocery store. The rash was severely reduced but was apparent. Caller also mentioned she had pretty severe fatigue after receiving vaccine unsure if this was because of the vaccine or an allergic reaction to some medication in her. She missed work on Monday and part time on Tuesday due to having to take breaks and naps during the day. Caller went into work but she did not feel up to working a full day in the office and was working remotely from home right now. The patient had allergic reaction to amoxicillin tablets when taken 5-7 years ago and did experience similar skin rash, this is the only other reaction in lifetime. Caller stated she knew how important it is to report not sure if there is an association between Amoxicillin and COVID ingredients. May have another allergy that was contributing but Amoxicillin was only other known allergy. Caller was asking for the next steps since she still has not fully recovered her throat, she is still feeling sore and tighter than normal and her skin was still redder than normal. When she had the rash it was red blotchy and warm to the touch it was no longer warm to the touch. Outcome of the events sore throat, throat tightness and rash was recovering, of event fatigue was unknown.

After receiving my second dose, I was seen by my primary doctor for suspected Celiac disease (which came back positive). I had a strange medical episodes during the bloodwork (April 15th) that they originally assumed was anxiety. Symptoms were shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and loss of feeling in extremities. I?m a first responder and did not feel this was anxiety, but didn?t argue and forgot about it until it happened again. I had my second episode on April 20th, and debated going to the ER for it. A third episode on April 23rd did put me in the ER. I proceeded to have more episodes on almost a daily basis after that and started monitoring blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar, and food intake at home (some of my bloodwork levels were off due to the celiac). I purchased a heart rate monitor, a blood glucose meter, and a smartwatch to monitor some of my symptoms. Both devices (monitor and watch) would later flag me as having a suspicious heart rhythm (heart monitor could be for fast/slow rhythm or for arrhythmia, smartwatch flagged me as Afib twice). I could not recreate these results when my husband wore the devices. Episodes could be as brief as 45 mins or last more than 12 hours. I have a high pain tolerance and illness tolerance, and had to leave work several times due to my symptoms (extremely abnormal for me). After several more appointments with my primary doc and another visit to the ER (where they did another EKG, an X-ray, and more bloodwork), things were still coming back inconclusive. After about April 28th, I started having significant chest pain with my episodes. The ER checked me for possible clotting related to the heart issues and my birth control pills. My arrhythmia could not be captured on their devices. My doctor has since diagnosed it as suspected myocarditis (pending more testing). We?ve ruled out all possible things related to my Celiac diagnosis, and can?t seem to find a cause for this. I had a few things I brought to her attention that may be the cause (pinched nerve at chiropractors, covid vaccine) and she says it may be the vaccine, and said I should report it to you.

Aside from the usual chills, body aches, etc, I ended up calling my doctor over a separate concerning issue - very high heart rate. I woke up at 8am the day after getting my 2nd Pfizer dose, walked to use the restroom, walked back to bed, and laid back down. Within a couple minutes I noticed my heart felt like it was racing and I was out of breath as if I had just come back from a jog, not a trip to the restroom. Heart rate continued fluctuating from 105-115bpm just laying in bed. Was also feeling fatigued, nauseous, dizzy when standing up, and with slight difficulty breathing. Called advice nurse after 30min of no change. They had me check heart rate manually (had been going off FitBit), and timing was consistent with what FitBit was reading . Nurse advised to keep resting and drink lots of water, scheduled follow-up with a Doctor later in the morning. It should be noted that I had been alternating between water and Pedialyte constantly all day, starting 5/17 through when this happened (and then the next few days as well), so I should not have been dehydrated. Follow-up call with Dr. (on-call Dr., not my usual one) was scheduled for 11:45am, and by then all concerning heart symptoms had passed. The Dr. basically reiterated what the nurse had told me, in keeping up with fluids. And that sometimes temperature change, even if you don't completely get a fever, can cause a high heart rate. As more information is coming out regarding younger people developing myocarditis after the mRNA vaccines however, I wanted to mention this in case it could possibly be related.

All of the below occurred after Pfizer shot #2 administered on 4/1/2021. Pfizer shot #1 was administered on 3/12/2021 with minimal effects lasting less than 24 hours (arm soreness, flu-like symptoms, etc.). 1) Severe worsening of costochondritis (chronic chest pain) to the point of breathing difficulty and inability to lie down. Began 4/1/2021 and became unbearable the evening of 4/7/2021, requiring an ER trip the same night (see Item 19). This pain has since continued to come and go, worse than I ever had it before the vaccine. 2) Very severe worsening of tinnitus (ringing/pulsing in ears) - lasted 1.5 months, from 4/1/2021 to around 5/15/2021. 3) Severe hormone imbalance symptoms (waves of severe nausea occurring several times daily, extremely late and painful/heavy period, swelling in ankles & feet, etc.) for ~1.5 months, from late April 2021 to around 5/15/2021. I cannot identify any other changes or life factors besides the vaccine that would have caused these issues.

Staring 5 hours after the vaccine a tightness in the chest started. It was difficult to breathe. By the next day it was difficult to move because of what felt like a band around my chest. It feels like I am running out of air doing my normal routine. I have started moving excessively slowly as I can't get a deep breath. It is four days after the vaccine and I am considering going to the er because it is not clearing up. I started taking Benadryl and Claritin yesterday which has greatly relieved the symptoms (not gone but brought to a manageable level), but everytime the medication wears off it comes back in full force.
