Patient did not visit emergency room or physician office because if a person has a heart condition and goes to the ER, they want to keep her overnight to observe her and she didn't want to do that.

The second time was worse, "with throwing up" and "patient could not lift head off of the pillow for 3 days" and "had to stay laying flat and could not lift my head up". Patient reports, that saying its vertigo is mild to describe what she experienced. Patient also reports "she thought she was good, it always seemed like when I'd get up, she can't get up because she was so dizzy she had to lay back down. She had to hold on to everything to try to go to the restroom, may got to find some depends because may not be able to make it." Patient reported that the second time she thought she was good when she didn't have dizziness after 5 days and thought it wouldn't happen again, but then it began again 8 days after her second dose. Reports "this time her stomach got to like, don't like being dizzy so you're just gonna have to throw up for a while". Patient reports that she told her doctor, who then told her "Having Covid is worse than having the after affect of the shot". Patient also reports that her arm was also sore for about a day.
