She was on 10 days of antibiotics, and she ended up in the ER again because of vertigo happening every time she is standing up, so basically, the patient is still having dizziness and complaining about not being able to do work, Dizziness happens when the patient sits or stands; caller would say this is disabling, as the patient cannot do daily functions, ironing or whatever. She is feeling too dizzy and afraid to fall. Caller stated the patient had a sinus infection and was given Augmentin. Caller reported the patient saw an ENT. There was a lot of phlegm and cough, and it subsided within 2 to 3 days, but the dizziness is still there the whole time and tiredness, the dizziness remains. Since 10 days, the patient had dizziness, then a bout of vertigo, and is still run down, patient is lying in bed for 2 weeks now, when she gets up, she is spinning, and the patient has been able to go to her PCP, but is very slow due to dizziness. The dizziness seems to not be going away, and the patient  s ear is very stuffy like if someone put a cotton ball in it, the stuffiness is constantly there, and today she said, the arm where the shot was given, for 2 weeks it was very heavy, no pain, but very heavy, she has sensations and 3 days today she has extreme heaviness in the arm from the shoulder to the elbow. Caller states Arm heaviness is serious, not disabling, but the patient said the best way to say, is like someone pulling her arm down, but no pain, dizziness when she stands or sits, and caller was reading about side effects, she was thinking there were a few instances of POTS, and the patient saw a cardiologist today, saw her PCP yesterday. The patient postponed the second dose. Pharmacist inquired if POTS one of the regular side effects, and can she get better, also, since the patient has not had the second vaccine, will the effect, will the first dose wean over 3 weeks, caller thought the first dose would wean so the patient would feel better.
