Symptoms: Chest discomfort, Chest pain, Computerised tomogram, Dyspnoea, Electrocardiogram
Clinical narrative: I started noticing that I had chest pain and chest discomfort. I also have been having more shortness of breath than I am used to. When I went to the doctor, they though it was just an asthma attack, but I told them that the discomfort in my chest felt different than what I am used to so the doctor referred me to a heart specialist. They noticed abnormalities of my heart and is going to continue to monitor it. There was some regurgitation with my heart and at those times it causes me to be a little short of breath. I felt like I had to do breathing treatments more frequently now. I had also caught COVID-19 well before getting the vaccine.

Likewise, I have one big toenail that has followed the same sequence, but not fallen off yet. There is no fever or any other symptoms. No pain until they fall off.

Clinical narrative: I started getting Tinnitus in June 2021. I don't hear it an one specific ear, just in my head. I haven't been able to sleep because it keeps me awake. I have Insomnia because of it. It sometimes takes over my life. I don't want to be around people or talk on the phone. I can't seem to get any kind of help for it. Nothing has worked. I had a machine that was supposed to help with the Tinnitus but it was to expensive so I had to send it back. I also tried physical therapy and acupuncture. The ENT doctor wanted me to get a special hearing aid to change the sound of the tinnitus but I could not afford that either. Also, the right side of my face is swollen all the time. This has also been since June. I have been to the ER for the Tinnitus and from there they referred me to a Neurologist. More recently I have been experiencing stomach issues including diarrhea.

Clinical narrative: About a week after vaccine (unsure of what time it started) I started experiencing palpitations and shortness of breath which persisted and I was at work one day (10 days after vaccine) and the palpitations and shortness of breath was strong and my blood pressure was about 180/100 something and they sent me to the hospital because my blood pressure was elevated. That persisted for many months and I was having palpitations and trouble breathing and so I seen a Cardiologist and started on blood pressure medication and wore a heart monitor for 2 weeks but nothing came up and the sensation persisted for three months. I also had several other tests like an EKG and stress test and a sonogram. I seen my Endocrinologist and my TSH spiked up with no change in my medication dosage so I think my body went into overdrive and spiked my thyroid hormones up. After 3 months I did feel better and I do still get shortness of breath and my blood pressure is still a bit high so I've continued my blood pressure medication, but all of this came up after the vaccine.

Clinical narrative: My first dose on March 24th very next day I noticed I was getting light headed and a little dizzy. Tried to drink some water, however a half hour later I was having issues walking and collapsed. I was constantly dizzy for 2 weeks later, swaying side to side, I felt like I was spinning rather than the room itself. Intense brain fog, light headedness and fatigue. Saw primary care assumed BPPV and was given maneuvers to help BPPV to subside. Vestibular therapy was started and a week or two later slight improvement. Triggers like quick eye movement to the corner of my eye, looking down at my lap etc. would bring dizziness. 2nd Dose was administered however dizziness became worse for the dizziness. After 3 months of vestibular therapy I have seen some improvement. Uneven surfaces make my head spin and as long as I do not bend over walking is capable. Neurologist stated that there was nothing they could do from their stand point. Antidepressants were  administered for anxiety. After coming off of  Amitriptyline dizziness became even worse.  Currently  dizziness, headaches, night sweats, fatigue, brain fog, light headedness. Loss of hand eye coordination as well. Spatial Awareness becomes hard as well. Vestibular therapy would be good for an hour, however intense wave of dizziness can come and cause me to become fatigued. Shift in center of gravity is also a new sensation after weening off of Nortriptyline. With 3PD cognitive Therapy and Vestibular Therapy Specialized in 3PD.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: COVID-19, Cardiac monitoring normal, Dizziness, Fatigue, Feeling abnormal
Clinical narrative: 5+ weeks after the second dose, (July 1, 2021) I developed benign positional vertigo. After a few weeks, the significant spinning lessened but turned into general foggy-headed, mild dizziness, general fatigue, heart palpitations.  This lasted 2.5 months Now, three months later, the fatigue and heart palpations are gone. The dizziness is almost gone but not entirely. I am in physical therapy and being treated for Vestibular Ocular Reflex. I have no idea whether this has anything to do with the vaccine. It could be that I got COVID, am having long term symptoms without having had any of the normal symptoms. Just thought this might be helpful
