Additional Information:She has never been out of the country, everything she experienced was while in town. Her First Dose was on 09Jul2021, then about 2 days later she went to the Emergency room, she was not admitted to the hospital, they sent her back home because at that time, the hospital was full of covid patients and they weren't admitting anyone. She went to the Emergency Room because when she first got the shot, within 30 minutes she had really bad headaches, she was nauseous, vomiting, had diarrhea, started having Shortness of breath, pain in the chest and in the back. By the time she went to the Emergency Room they were treating her for pleurisy, they told her to follow up with the doctor, they could hear the fluid in her, and they gave her medication as well. She does not know the name of the medication at this time. She followed up with the doctor, because the pain was getting worse. He was treating her with some kind of water pill and something else, she doesn't remember the medication name. Since then she has had a lot of Shortness of Breath, they are concerned because her Heart Rate then was in the high 40's like 47-48, she had to keep an eye on that. Her heart rate is now running in the 80's and 90's, but goes up and down, for example when she uses the stairs her heart rate is in the 120's. Now that has covid, things are getting worse, they want her to see a cardiologist and pulmonologist, but she lost her job 3 weeks ago. She was a contract worker, and because of covid she couldn't work, so they took her off the job, she now has no income in and is still sick. The medical bills, its a new medical bill each time, she is even going back to the clinic today, she is still not better, they are trying to still test her for possible covid. She has lost smell, lost taste, she is nauseous day and night, she is vomiting on states that she is calling in regards to the Pfizer Covid vaccine, specifically the first vaccine.
