There he was diagnosed per ultrasound with DVT or having a blood clot in a vein in his right calf. He was prescribed Eliquis and counseled to follow up with his physician at home. Patient met with our family physician on 6/9/2021, the day we arrived home to follow-up. After receiving the medical records Dr. advised us to file this report. We understand that blood clots can happen on flights, but Dr. felt that this event was such an anomally for patient that it merited further reporting. Patient is a completely healthy 16 year old male who is an extremely active athlete who participates in basketball, track, cross-country and other physical activities daily. For him to develop a blood clot after a 4 hour flight is an exceptional, unexpected event. Dr. long term plan is to keep patient on Eliquis for 6 months, then take him off of the medicine and then run more blood tests after 2 weeks to fully investigate the incident.

After my son received his 2nd Dose of the Pfizer on the scheduled date at approx.10:45 am, we went home and were just relaxing and at approx 1:54 pm. My son in a panic yelled for me to come into the bathroom and he showed me his urine and it was bright red with clots (Gross Hematuria). I know the time because as soon as I saw it I took a picture (of which I still have on my phone). I proceeded to access how he was feeling and after he said he felt okay just scared-no pain or anything, I called his Pediatrician whose office instructed me to take him to the ER and that is what I did. He was not rough housing, there was no trauma and again no pain. This has never happened before.

17-year-old male who presents with 8 days of headache. He received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on 4/21. He felt like he had the flu after getting the vaccine and developed right-sided neck pain and a temperature to 100. The patient did endorse being elbowed in the neck playing basketball during this time as well, as he played in a basketball tournament in right after this. He got his Covid vaccine in his right deltoid. He saw his pediatrician on 4/26 and a CT scan of his neck with IV contrast was done and this showed significant diffuse right-sided deep spatial neck edema and right-sided adenopathy. The pediatrician discussed the findings with ENT who recommended augmentin and a medrol dosepak. The patient developed a headache several days after this and went to urgent care for evaluation. There was concern that the augmentin and steroids had caused the headache, so the steroids were stopped and he was switched to keflex on 4/30. He was given phenergan and toradol at Urgent Care and discharged home. His mom notes that several days ago he had fevers of 101-104. He has not had a fever for several days now. His headache continued and he felt unwell at basketball practice so he returned to urgent care on 5/4. A CT scan of his head was done which showed right sigmoid and transverse sinus thrombosis as well as thrombophlebitis of the right IJ. He was sent to ED for further management at that time. In the ED, the patient was hemodynamically stable and well-appearing. The CTs were overread by our radiologists here. The patient had some labs done at the outside urgent care but PT/PTT/INR and a CRP were drawn here, which were unremarkable. A Covid PCR is negative. Neurosurgery, neurology, and hematology were consulted. Neurology recommended heparin and a hypercoagulable workup and hematology agreed with this plan. The patient was admitted to the ICU for neuro checks and monitoring during initiation of heparin.

17yo otherwise healthy male presents to clinic for worsening cough, runny nose congestion, and sweats starting 4 days ago. He received the COVID vaccine 5 days ago in the afternoon and initially had what he expected to be normal side effects from the vaccine that evening. Symptoms included body aches, runny nose and general malaise. However, over the last few days he has felt worse and developed more congestion, cough, and sweating. He did improve a little bit 2 days ago but then started to feel worse yesterday and had a worsening cough that is resulting in some chest tightness. Cough is productive sounding. Mom describes it as barking. No appreciable wheezing but he sounds hoarse. He has some SOB after coughing repeatedly. He states it simply feels like it is hard to breathe for 10-20minutes after a coughing attack but then it resolves. He developed sweating yesterday as well. He states he will just start sweating for no reason. No measured fever. No chills. Today he has dried skin and cracked lips from blowing/wiping his nose all the time. No fevers. No vomiting.

After 1st shot; Patient developed multiple blood clots (lungs and legs) about 10-11 days afterwards. All tests for cause of clots were inconclusive. Patient received his second dose and with in 48 hours was hospitalized for appendicitis. If it was a reaction after just one shot, I would normally think it was a coincidence. With him have severe reactions after both shots, it seems very suspicious!

A 17-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration on 21May2021 (Lot Number: EW0618) (at the age of 17 years old) as 2nd dose, single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity from an unknown date. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. No reported family medical history relevant to adverse events (AE), no reported cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction (MI) under 50, no early deaths, nor any pertinent history. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Lot Number: EW0619) on Apr2021 for COVID-19 immunization. The patient experienced myocardial injury on 23May2021, 2 days after he received his second Covid vaccine with possible association. It was stated that the patient came in to the emergency room (ER) about 28 hours after his second vaccine with sudden chest pain that woke him up and got worse. Further stated that the patient was seen at an outside emergency department (ED) and had elevated troponins, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK MB), electrocardiogram (EKG) showed ST segment elevation, Echo showed trivial effusion, normal coronaries, and low to normal function. It was reported that he was admitted for monitoring due to potentially decompensating. Stated that he was consulted because of the association with the vaccine, and viral testing was done; the patient was tested for enterovirus, adenovirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), epstein-barr virus (EBV), and parvovirus, all were negative. Treatment received was intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), pain medication and general support. States that the patient did receive IVIG while he was there, a one time dose, because the cardiologist was concerned with the way his troponins were trending, no decompensation. Further stated that the patient did not receive any pressors at any point and that the patient was still in the hospital but he was being transferred to the floor and they were trending labs, but he was not on any pressors or anything and he seemed like he has been doing well. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. Chest pain and myocardial injury required a visit to Emergency Room on 23May2021. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No or unknown AE following prior vaccinations. As per the reporter all events seriousness criteria reported as medically significant, hospitalization. The patient was hospitalized from 24May2021 and ongoing at the time of the report (also reported as 2 days and counting). The outcome of all the events was recovering.; Sender's Comments: Based solely on chronological connection to the vaccine causality between reported events and BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) cannot be completely excluded. 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.

History of Present Illness 17-year-old male who denies any major medical problems presents to the ER concern for chest pain. The patient states that he stayed up all night and he woke up this morning around 12:30 p.m., around 1 hour prior to arrival and he was having a tightness in his chest. The tightness is constant, seems to go down his left arm. He has never had this happen before. He received his Pfizer vaccination for COVID-19 on Friday of last week and he feels like he has had some aches since that time. He has been taking Motrin for this and this morning he also took Motrin but there is no significant relief. He has no significant shortness of breath, no nausea vomiting, no diaphoresis. I spoke with him privately and he denies any history of cocaine abuse. Per his mother he has healthy, no major medical problems. He has not recently had any other concerns or recent review systems. No history of having blood clots or DVTs. Medical Decision Making: History examination as above. Patient presents our concern for tightness in his chest with some radiation to his left arm over the past 1 hour. His EKG does show J-point elevation but he has no risk factors, he is hemodynamically stable well-appearing on examination. He has no shortness of breath, nausea, diaphoresis. Differential includes myopericarditis, early repolarization. Feel that the likelihood of STEMI, ACS is low. Will obtain a troponin as a part of his workup, chest x-ray for evaluation of cardiac silhouette size, bedside ultrasound. I do not suspect that he has a PE. He has no tachycardia tachypnea hypoxia. No external findings of suggest a DVT on examination. I do not suspect that he has cardiac tamponade, CHF, pulmonary process such as pneumothorax, pneumonia based on his history. Do not suspect a GI etiology. Will monitor closely here in the ER and re-evaluate. Time 2:30 p.m.. The patient's troponin is elevated at 7. I consult with Cardiology and I spoke with Dr- we reviewed the patient's EKG, his presentation, his history. He feels this is secondary to myocarditis from likely the COVID-19 vaccination. I have added a viral PCR as well as a part of his workup. He does not recommend activation the cath lab, he does not feel this is a STEMI. I do agree based on the history and the patient's appears this time. He recommended a formal echocardiogram as well. -I spoke with the ultrasound technician at bedside and there is no evidence of wall motion abnormality. This is consistent with my examination. -given the patient's elevated troponin we do not have capabilities of caring for him here. Not have Pediatric Cardiology, we do not have a PICU if the patient's condition were to worsen. There for the patient requires transfer to tertiary center. -will consult with another hospital for transfer. Time 3:22 p.m.. I spoke with Dr, he accepts for transfer. No recommendations for medications at this time. The patient is chest pain-free, hemodynamically stable. Spoke with the ultrasound technician there is no evidence of cardiac wall abnormality, pending official interpretation with our cardiologist. -asked for emergent transfer because I do not want the pain to be waiting here in the ER with possible worsening condition, worsening troponin elevation without cardiology consultation at a pediatric specific hospital. I do not want him to have the chance of deteriorating at this facility and therefore I do feel that he warrants emergent transfer as opposed to routine where he could wait here in the ER for hours. I do feel that benefits outweigh the risk and I spoke with the patient and his family about this and they agree. Critical Care: 55 minutes. Emergent evaluation on presentation given his EKG showing STEMI per computer interpretation. Time spent for multiple re-evaluations, discussion with Cardiology and outside hospital consultants, time spent with documentation. Time spent with family. Complex medical decision making. Serious life threatening disease process. Potential for death and increased morbidity. Exclusive of procedure time.

18M with no PMH s/p pfizer vaccination dose 2 on 5/4/21 who presented with chest pain. He initially had chest pain the day prior to admission with pain in his back and down his left arm. This improved with Tylenol and resolved prior to bed. On the morning of 5/6 the chest pain returned and was so severe it woke him from sleep. He was difficult for him to characterize, but he said it was all over his chest, sometimes sharp and pressure-like, most severe in mid substernal region and was so substantial that he had difficulty speaking properly. He feels that the pain is most severe when lying flat and is best managed when he is resting at a 45 degree angle. Patient was at ED he was found to have an initial ECG with ST depressions in aVR and elevations in II, aVF, and V2 through V6 raising suspicion for pericarditis/myocarditis. Initial troponin was elevated at 4.35 as well. Cardiology Dr. was contacted by ED physician, case discussed, and EKGs reviewed and felt this was more likely pericarditis, but not STEMI. Of note, he reports a family history significant for his mother having a?hole in her heart.?He was given Toradol with improvement in his pain and upon arrival to hospital his chest pain was markedly improved. He was noted to have troponins peaking at 39.415 that down trended and an elevated CRP of 4.8 on admission. D-dimer was 0.26. Covid PCR was negative. He was evaluated by cardiology again here who upon review of his ECG and cardiac enzymes as well as presentation was consistent with pericarditis. Echocardiogram showed normal LV systolic function with trace posterior pericardial effusion and telemetry was monitored without any arrhythmias. He was started on low-dose beta-blockers, aspirin 650 mg 3 times a day, and colchicine 0.6 mg every 12 hours for 2 doses followed by 0.6 mg daily. He is planned to continue this for approximately 3 months and will need to follow-up with cardiology in 1 to 2 weeks for repeat monitoring and management with plan to taper off aspirin once his CRP normalizes. Later that night, he even had a similar episode of sudden onset chest pain for which she received IV Toradol with minimal relief and oral Tylenol with relief of symptoms after that. No telemetry abnormalities were recorded at that time. ECG the following day showed improving ST changes and troponin of 26.328 with CRP 4.2. He had no further symptoms for over 24 hours and is responding well to treatment. He is advised to take Tylenol as needed in addition to the above-mentioned medicines should he have any recurrent chest pain.

pericarditis; a large pericardial effusion; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. An 18-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: unknown), at the age of 18 years old, at single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The reporter explained the only probable trigger to the 18-year-old male patient developing pericarditis and a large pericardial effusion was the receipt of the first dose of BNT162B2, 2-3 weeks before the diagnosis. The reporter added he read through the CDC website, about increased cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after getting the second dose of BNT162B2. The reporter asked if the second dose was contraindicated after such adverse reaction to the first dose. The outcome of events was unknown. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the events of Pericarditis and Pericardial Effusion and the suspect drug BNT162B2 cannot be excluded. The case will be reassessed once new information is 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.

At 2-8-21 at approximately 1:00pm I recieved my 2nd shot. At 5:00am on 2-9-21, I woke up experiencing an extreme headache, nausea, body aches, and severe chest pain. I checked my heartrate with a PulseOximeter and found it to be elevated at 105-115. I called out of work and rested in bed for the day. On 2-10-21 most of my symptoms had subsided however the chest pain persisted through 2-11-21. On 2-11-21 at 2:00pm, I visited the Urgent Care. While there, the provider ran an ECG, Chest X-Ray, and bloodwork. Test results showed Troponin levels in my blood had reached critical levels of 7.72ng/ml. I was immediately transported to the ER at the Hospital, where upon arrival they did an EKG and bloodwork. I was then admitted and seen by a cardiologist, who ordered an CT Angiogram, more bloodwork, and an Echocardiogram. After I was admitted, my mother contact the nurses station to check on me and asked what was wrong. She was then told the hospital was treating me for an NSTEMI and Myocarditis. This resulted in a 3 day hospital stay where the results of the tests showed there was nothing wrong with my heart other than the increased Troponin levels. It should be noted that I have had ZERO previous cardiac issues, or any other significant health issues. I was discharged from the hospital with lower but still elevated Troponin levels, and told to follow up with my primary care doctor. I had no health issues and felt fine until I had my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. I have copies of my hospital records detailing all of this.

heart failure; heart attack; fluid in his lungs; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's mother). A 19-year-old male patient received the first dose bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EP7534), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 25Mar2021 (received at the age of 19-years-old) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing seasonal allergies and cardiac murmur he had as an infant. When probing medical history, the consumer reported that as an infant, her son, had a heart murmur. Her son saw a heart specialist in (State) who did an ultrasound/sonogram of her son's heart. The specialist said the heart murmur was fine and nothing needed to be done. She also adds that for family medical history, she and her husband don't have any early onset heart issues in either side of their families. She also reported that her son has horrible seasonal allergies. Concomitant medication(s) included cetirizine hydrochloride (ZYRTEC [CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE]) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; triamcinolone acetonide (NASACORT) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; montelukast (MONTELUKAST) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The reporter stated that her son (patient) had a heart attack (26Mar2021) after receiving the first dose of bnt162b2. The patient also experienced heart failure on 28Mar2021 and had fluid in his lungs on Mar2021. She called regarding the COVID-19 vaccine on behalf of her 19-year-old son who received his first vaccine on 25Mar2021. Her son received his first Covid 19 vaccine at a PRIVACY where he attends college. On Friday, 26Mar2021, he was feeling crummy, on Saturday, 27Mar2021, he was feeling crummy. On Saturday night, 27Mar2021, her son started texting her around 11:30PM saying he had pain in his left shoulder and left arm. He had already taken 2 Advil and it wasn't helping with the pain, her son asked if he could take a third Advil. The reporter told her son he could take a third Advil because it had been an hour and a half since he had taken the first two Advil. The texts from her son continued. He was getting no relief. He took a hot shower and tried self-massage and warm compresses. He ended up throwing up and he said he felt a little better. Her son tried to lay down and couldn't get any relief from his pain. The pain was tremendous in his left shoulder and arm. Her son told his mother, he thinks he needs to go to the emergency department. His mother is two hours away from him and told him to call 911. Her son had a friend take him to the emergency department instead of calling 911. Her son went to PRIVACY. While at the emergency department, the doctor thought that her son's pain was muscular. Her son received an injection of Toradol. Her son was discharged from the emergency room and went back out to his friend who had brought him to the hospital. Her son and his friend didn't even make it out of the emergency department parking lot when her son suddenly couldn't see anything. His eyes were wide open and all he could see was black. His ears started ringing. Her son went back into the emergency department. Her son received Benadryl and an Epi-pen thinking maybe he was allergic to the Toradol and having a reaction to the Toradol. Her son had blood work, an EKG, and vital signs done in the emergency department on 28Mar2021. His blood work were over 3000 which the reporter reports, indicates a heart attack. The emergency room doctor did not think the Toradol would have pushed his Troponin levels that high. With her son complaining to her about the pain in his left shoulder radiating into his left arm and throwing up, those are signs of a heart attack. Her son was maybe playing off the seriousness of the pain he was experiencing. It was agreed at that point it might be her son's heart. She was about 18 minutes away from the hospital when she received a call from the hospitalist, the doctor taking care of her son. And that doctor tells her that her son is not doing well and is not responding to treatment of the bag of saline fluids. The doctor is trying to get her son's blood pressure and heart rate back up. The doctor was afraid he might have to air flight him to the PRIVACY hospital. She told the doctor she is 18 minutes away and asked if he can wait that long or does she have to turn around and drive the opposite direction to the PRIVACY. At this point her son was having a COVID-19 viral test in case he needs to be transported to the other hospital. The doctor tells her that her son can wait the 18 minutes until she gets to the hospital. She arrived at the hospital and wanted to see her son, her son is on high flow oxygen and she has to gown and glove up to be in his room for fear of Covid particles since he's on the high flow oxygen. His COVID-19 viral test results have not come back at this time. Her son was admitted to the hospital for heart failure. He was in the hospital for 5 days. He was admitted in the wee hours of the morning on 28Mar2021. During the time he was in the hospital he had chest x-rays and he was given Lasix to get the fluid off his lungs. His white blood cells were way up so he was given an antibiotic. He had an MRI, Chest X-rays, and a Heart Catheterization through his wrist that would indicate that he had blocked arteries in his heart. He had no blocked arteries. The heart catheterization revealed an artery going into his 4th heart chamber was slow to open and close. The cardiologist prescribed Metoprolol for six months with monitoring. The cardiologist feels the Metoprolol will repair his artery and get his blood pressure and heart rate numbers where they need to be. He was admitted to the hospital at around 3:00AM on 28Mar2021 and was discharged on 01Apr2021. Her son's COVID-19 viral test came back negative, but his COVID-19 antibody test showed that he did have COVID-19 antibodies. The doctor didn't know if that meant that her son had a previously undiagnosed case of the COVID-19 virus or if he developed COVID-19 antibodies that soon after he received the Covid 19 vaccine. She reported when her son was discharged, he was feeling better, but still had residual fluid at the bottom of his lungs. Her son did have to go for a chest x-ray on Tuesday, 06Apr2021, after he was discharged, to make sure the fluid was making its way out of his body. When he was discharged from the hospital, he had some shortness of breath and he was tired and weak feeling. The pain in his left arm began before he was admitted to the hospital. The shortness of breath started during his hospital admission. At this point in time she would say her son has improved. The Metoprolol he was prescribed by the cardiologist is one half of a 25mg tablet once at nighttime. She stated that she does not have any information on how low her son's blood pressure and heart rate were during his time in the hospital. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the adverse events. Outcome of the events was recovering.

1 day after the 2nd shot in the Pfizer COVID vaccine series he began to develop substernal pressure like chest pain . Patient was admitted into the hospital for 2 days (4/27-4/29) for this substernal chest pain. A CTPE, EKG, and CXR were ordered that were unrevealing as to the etiology of the chest pain. Troponins were elevated on admission with a slightly decreased delta (515->479). An ECHO was ordered that showed a LVEF of 35-40% with moderate global hypokinesis of the left ventricle, right ventricles moderately dilated, and no pericardial effusion. A Cardiac MRI was then ordered to determine etiology that showed subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement of the basal inferior and mid-inferior and inferoseptal wall consistent with acute myocarditis. Additionally, a small pericardial effusion without signs of inflammation, calcification, or cardiac tamponade physiology. Patient was then D/C on 4/29 after the cardiac MRI with no medical therapy with the recommendation to not partake in physical activity for one month. Will have follow up with cardiology clinic in 1 month and will participate in cardiac rehab.

Initial presentation Patient was in his usual state of good health until 4/19 when he received his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Two hours after the injection he became nauseous and vomited multiple times. Overnight he experienced diffuse myalgia and suprapubic pain. He awoke the next day to a pustular rash on his chin, forehead, chest and back. The patient describes similar previous rashes that have resolved spontaneously. The next day he began to experience gross hematuria and presented to the ED with a temperature of 98.9, blood pressure of 100/69mmHg, heart rate of 110bpm, respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute and an O2 saturation of 97% on room air. On examination, patient was ill-appearing with diffuse pustules on his face, chest and back, periorbital edema, and leukoplakia of the tongue and buccal mucosa. His abdomen was soft and tender to palpation in the suprapubic area and at both costovertebral angles. Hospital course In the ED the patient was found to have a metabolic acidosis of pH 7.33 with an anion gap of 16, lactate 2.6, neutrophilic leukocytosis (22k), acute renal insufficiency with a BUN of 45 and creatinine 3.81 (baseline is 0.76). The patient?s urine demonstrated packed RBCs and 5-10 WBCs. He was admitted to the medicine service for further management. On the medicine floor he was initially found to have rhabdomyolysis (CK 584), worsening renal failure (Creatinine 8), follicular conjunctivitis by skin biopsy, a low CD3/CD4 count (CD4 91, CD3 47, CD8 258) with normal complement, and bilateral tinnitus. CT A/P without contrast showed increased attenuation of renal pelves and ureters consistent with hemorrhage, but no renal stones or hydronephrosis was seen. The patient was treated with pulse dose 500mg IV Methylprednisilone for 3 days and then transitioned to 60mg Prednisone. The patient?s pustular rash and oral leukoplakia greatly improved while on pulse dose steroids, but his kidney function continued to decline (Creatinine rising from 8 to 11), and the patient?s bilateral tinnitus progressed to bilateral sensorineural deafness over 2 days. Bilateral hearing loss prompted an MRI of the brain which identified several punctate infarcts across multiple vascular territories in bilateral cortices and left cerebellum. The patient?s kidney function has continued to decline, with progressive hyperkalemia and hemodialysis was begun.

A 20-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, lot number and expiry date unknown), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in right arm on 13May2021 at 11:00 as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient is very strict on his health. The patient is a vegetarian, he is very health conscious. The patient did not receive any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration of the COVID vaccine. The patient previously received the first dose of bnt162b2 on Apr2021 for COVID-19 immunization and experienced tenderness at the shot site and was very tired. On the morning of 14May2021, the patient had a small temperature that was one degree higher than before and the patient was wiped out tired-extremely exhausted and tired. Then the patient started experiencing chest pain within days of the second dose. The patient woke up on 15May2021 with chest pain that was persistent through 18May2021. On 19May2021, the chest pain got worse. The reporter thought the patient had indigestion so she gave the patient Tylenol, Pepcid, and clear soda and the patient felt a little better. On 20May2021, the patient was clutching his chest and had pain in his left arm. The patient couldn't talk, the pain was so hard. The patient went to the emergency room at 12:00 and the healthcare team said that the patient was experiencing a heart attack (reported time of heart attack was 10:00). The patient was not admitted to the hospital. They said the chemical that the large muscle in the heart makes, it was elevated which was how they determined it was a heart attack. These lab numbers were drawn every three hours and they came down but never went away. The patient had two Troponin draws and they were both elevated. They also did an EKG on the patient which showed a heart attack. The patient was told to see a cardiologist and was sent home. The reporter is watching the patient and the patient is still in a little bit of pain but not as much. The patient went to his primary care provider on the day of the report and the doctor doesn't see this as a displaced issue. The doctor does not know what would cause this in the heart. The patient is to see the cardiologist on Tuesday, 25May2021. The reporter is unsure if this is related to the vaccine but it was almost a week after the patient's second dose. The outcome of the event small temperature that was one degree higher than before was recovering and the outcome of the event wiped out tired-extremely exhausted and tired was not recovered. The outcome of the other events was unknown. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested

On Friday patient woke up with severe chest pain. He had to be taken to the emergency room. His troponin levels were above 1300 which indicated a heart attack so they admitted him to the hospital overnight. However, the blood work indicated an infection and Ibuprofen was the only medicine that helped with the pain. While at the hospital a series of tests were done to find out what was going on. Once the patient was stable enough he left the hospital and he is now undergoing more tests and getting his medical records transferred to the doctors here. We are still in the process of finding out the exact issue and will hopefully get some answers soon.

Approximately two weeks after receiving the second dose I began to notice abdominal pain that worsened when breathing or laying down. The pain became more severe over the course of the next few days that I admitted myself to the emergency room of the Hospital. A CT scan showed a pulmonary embolism located in my lower right-hand lung, which would have killed me if left untreated. I was admitted to the hospital and treated for pain and given intravenous blood thinners for 3-4 days. I was discharged with orders to follow up with a pulmonologist, cardiologist, and PCP. I was unable to schedule visits with the specialists due to financial constraints. After leaving the hospital my condition began to improve and has continued to improve since. As I understand it, the tissue in my lung may never heal and as a result i suffer diminished lung capacity.

Approximately 7-10 days or so after receiving the first dose of the pfizer Covid vaccine I started to develop this red, nodule-like, painful "rash" on both of my forearms. Not only the left arm where the vaccine was administered. This did not go away after a couple of days, and I was instructed by a physician to being taking Benadryl. This appeared to alleviate the symptoms (no visible red nodules anymore) 4-5 days prior to my second dose, so I stopped the medication and presumed it was done. Then, within 4-5 hours of receiving my second Pfizer covid vaccine, I broke out into the same red, painful, nodule-like "rash" along both of my forearms. This time was worse than the previous reaction. I was instructed to take Allegra at the time by a physician, which I did for approximately 4 weeks. This seemed to get rid of the symptoms I was experiencing, and I could not visualize the nodules on my forearms anymore. However, after approximately 2 weeks, I noticed a painful and swollen vein in my right forearm, opposite arm to the one I received the vaccine in. I did not think much of it at the time, since I had no other associated symptoms. Then, over the next couple of weeks, it appeared to become more swollen and painful. Also, I saw another swollen vein near my knee. On April 6, I had labs drawn and CBC, CMP, TSH, and ESR came back normal, but the CRP was elevated. Thus, I was instructed to begin aspirin 325mg, which I took for 4 days beginning April 8th and ending April 12th. On April 13th, an official ultrasound confirmed a DVT in my right popliteal vein, a superficial thrombus in my proximal great saphenous vein, and a superficial thrombus in my right forearm where the pain originated from weeks prior. The initial presumption at this time is that the clots are vaccine-related, but could be linked to an underlying blood disorder that was triggered by the vaccine. Blood hyper coagulation labs have not yet come back. I was initiated on Eliquis starting April 12th for the DVT.

throat fell really tight. They told him was throat was closing up.; Anaphylaxis/anaphylactic shock/severe allergic reaction; Swelling of the throat/throat was swelling; Trouble breathing; Itchy throat; Said that his throat felt really thirsty.; He is very upset./He is pretty devastated.; His throat started to do it again.; They said maybe it was something he ate or maybe sinuses; This is spontaneous report from contactable consumer (patient) and contactable consumer (patient's mother). A 25-year-old male patient received the first dose for BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot No. EWO187) at single dose for COVID-19 immunization on 19May2021 at 12:00 or 13:00. Relevant history included Diabetes, obesity, endocrine abnormalities, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, respiratory illness, compromised immune status and Allergies. The patient had Allergies to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can induce anaphylactic shock, severe reaction, swelling of face and throat. Relevant concomitant drug was unknown. No history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. No Additional Vaccines were Administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect If applicable. No Vaccines were Administered prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Family Medical History was none. About 3-5 minutes after being administered the Vaccine, the patient immediately developed anaphylactic shock. He was transported via ambulance to the Emergency Room on 19May2021 where he verified he was admitted to the hospital Emergency room for about 5-6 hours and discharged from the hospital the same day, 19May2021. He was told not to get any additional doses. He was still having swelling of the throat and went back to the ER today and was given a steroid prednisone 40mg a day for 5 days. He was advised to take benadryl also. He said he didn't get any IVs or anything. He had a past medical history of anaphylactic reaction to NSAIDS. He has been advised not to get the second dose. The patient stated the anaphylactic shock occurred with trouble breathing, throat was swelling and itchy throat. He did go into ER, they told him to just keep drinking fluids, that there was nothing else they could really do. When he was seen in the emergency room they gave him Benadryl and a steroid: Prednisone for now which he is on for the next couple of days. He was told that after 2 days or something, that after getting injected that he wouldn't have any symptoms-but he is still having those pretty severe symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Initial onset of anaphylactic shock was about 3-5 minutes after Pfizer Covid Vaccine shot was administered. Within 10-15 minutes he had swelling of tongue and throat and difficulty breathing. They called an ambulance, the ambulance took him to the Hospital emergency room where he was admitted and discharged that same date on 19May2021 after about 5-6 hours; he reported discharge time was around 16:40. They told him to come back if he had any issues that occurred over next couple of days or worsening or causing problems; to call back the nurses line. He was on a lot of Benadryl, a lot of antihistamines. When he gets off the antihistamines almost all the allergic reactions of the anaphylactic shock reoccur. This morning, 21May2021, he didn't take any Bendaryl before bed, and this morning when he woke up he was alright. After being at work like 30 minutes he felt the itchiness; scratchy throat; swelling of tongue; a little swelling of the throat; difficulty breathing. He took Benadryl and called the hotline who told him to call the Emergency room, he called the emergency room and went there. He talked to them this morning because he went to work and had issues breathing. He called and they told him to come in asap, so he went in to the emergency room; they gave him Benadryl and told him there was nothing else they could do other than him taking the steroid: Prednisone. The patient was in the hospital 3 days and will be day 4 tomorrow. He was trying to figure out how long this will last. They told him to talk to his doctor. They basically told him they were not responsible. The patient's mother reported that her son received the shot Wed 19May2021. Does not know if the Walgreen's reported this. He left there in an ambulance within 10 minutes of getting the shot. They took him to the emergency room and he got mixed information. He went back again today. They blew him off and told him maybe it was something he ate. She assumed that an allergic reaction would be about 24 hours but this is day 3. She is scared he may be taking too much Benadryl. He said he felt like he needed something to drink. Said that his throat felt really thirsty. He went back inside since his throat fell really tight. They told him was throat was closing up. They saw that his throat was swollen and they called the paramedics. Within 15 minutes they came and brought him to the emergency room. Nobody had given him Epi. They were going to give it to him an Epi pen but he wanted to wait for the paramedics. He was freaking out. The paramedics showed up and they were unable to give him Epi, stating he didn't have hives. He only received Benadryl. They he had to have to give him extra Benadryl because whatever they gave him in the IV because the first didn't work and his throat was still closing up. It made him feel like a drug addict asking for Benadryl. She was not sure if they gave him Benadryl in the ambulance, knows that it was given in the emergency room. The Benadryl may have been started in the ambulance but she is not sure. They did give him oxygen in the ambulance. Clarified he was in the ER over 4 hours, but was not admitted to the hospital. They gave him steroids but forgot to send him home with steroids. He had to call to find out about getting them and they told him they forgot to send the prescription in. He was late starting the next dose of steroids. He went back to the ER today, day 3. He didn't feel too bad today and went to work. After exerting a little energy and moving around, his throat started to do it again. He didn't have Benadryl on him. He left work because he thought it was going to close up again the day he got the shot. Once he calmed down, he took Benadryl. He called the hospital to ask if this was normal. He was told that it is not normal and was told that if he still felt bad, to come to the hospital. They said maybe it was something he ate or maybe sinuses. He spoke to one of the doctors. They had never shown him how to use an ePi pen. He does not know how long this will last. He gets scared. Treatment: Has only been taking Benadryl. He started the steroids yesterday and today. They had given him Benadryl today in the ER and he is home now. The patient visited to the Emergency room twice, first time by ambulance, confirmed he was not admitted. He was pretty devastated. The outcome of events was unknown.
