sore and aching all over; soreness is down in his abdominal area; soreness is down in his abdominal area and the base of his spine; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 90-year-old male patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE, lot number: EL5318), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 31Jan2021 12:30 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included blood thinner (doctor basically wants to thin his blood due to his age and so forth) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, the patient mentioned this to his doctor did want him taking the baby aspirin every day of the week but he told his doctor he bled too much and his doctor "well oh okay". Concomitant medication included acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN) as blood thinner, lisinopril, metoprolol succinate and amlodipine besilate. The patient previously took flu vaccine. The patient received his COVID vaccination around 12:30 Sunday afternoon. He felt fine for the next 2 hours and then he started feeling a little sore and so forth. By evening, the patient was sore and aching all over on 31Jan2021. This is the only side effect he had, everything else went fine. He could hardly get out of bed yesterday because he was so sore all over and it was the same today. The patient stated, "I keep shrinking at this age". The patient found that when he gets out of bed and forces himself to walk around very carefully, it seems to get a little better. Today, the soreness was down in his abdominal area and the base of his spine. The rest has seemed to clear up. The patient confirmed it has improved some. The doctor did a blood test about two weeks ago prior to the vaccine and it came back excellent in Jan2021. The patient wants to know if it is okay to take Advil or something like that to reduce the pain. The outcome of the events was recovering.

Severe abdominal pain unable to eat or sleep for 36 hours. He went by ambulance to the Hospital emergency room. They tried to pump his stomach but he aspirated and and went into cardiac arrest. He was revived but never regained consciousness. (The ICU Dr said that he had blood clots in his abdomen from a recent stroke. We were unaware of him having a stroke other than in 2026. The same Dr. said that he had necrosis in his lungs from aspirating. The necrosis was from his bowel dying) He was put on a ventilator and given drugs to increase his heart rate. On 3-5-21 the heart drugs were reduced and he died. I was with him when he recieved the vaccination and he was healthy, just old. I think that the shot killed him.

Patient was a healthy, active man, walked the dog 2x a day, wrote about classical music, etc. until 02/23-26/2021: Atrial fibrillation episodes that would not resolve themselves; 03/03/2021: Cardioversion at Hospital which did not work; medications were changed or adjusted over the next weeks, Metoprolo tartrate 25mg was added 03/10/2021. Patient was anxious, napped during the day, couldn't sleep at night, couldn't concentrate on anything for any length of time, breathing irregular, had no energy to walk; 03/11-16/2021: in Hospital 04-10-14/2021: in Medical Center, for ablation and pacemaker. Great improvement, had more energy, was ale to drive again but was not back to his active self pre- 02/23/2021. Medications as of 04/27/2021 were Allopurinal 300mg daily; Atorvastatin 10mg, daily; Eliquis 5mg 2x a day; Furosemide 20mg daily; Melatonin 10mg, daily; Metoprolol succinate ER 50mg daily; Valsartan 40mg, daily; Adult 50+ Eye Health, daily; multivitamin, 1 daily; Docusate sodium 50mg as needed. By 05/26/2021, the patient is once again sleeping off and on during the day, has no energy, coughs more, can't concentrate, has lost his appetite, is anxious and discouraged. His speech is often muffled instead of clearly enunciated as is his wont. The medications have been adjusted again: as of 06/07/2021, Metoprolol 200mg, daily; Furosemide 40mg daily; the other medications remain the same. The patient, over the more than 3 months, has had xrays, electrocardiagrams, CT scans; bloodwork done. The question is: is it possible that these seemingly uncontrolable atrial fibrillation episodes are an adverse reaction to the second Pfizer vaccine? Has research been done on the vaccine and cardiac problems?

I received my first COVID 19 Pfizer Vaccination on Jan. 21, 2021 from clinic about 2:30 pm. I am age 94. My wife brought me home about 3:30 pm and I was tired and went to bed and to sleep. I slept soundly until about 8 pm, and my wife awoke me to eat. I was too weak to sit up or stand, my legs felt like rubber. I didn?t feel like eating, and I couldn?t answer her questions coherently. My wife was worried and called the 911. They checked me and found my vital signs were normal, so they helped my wife get me settled in bed. The next few days I still felt weak and had to use a cane or walker. My second dose is scheduled for February 11, 2021 at 2 pm. Will I likely have worse side affects? What precautions should I take.
