Patient states she is calling regarding the Pfizer Covid vaccine. Five weeks after the second vaccine, she had a mini stroke. She has no high risk factors. She is being tested currently for Atrial Fib and has a monitor. She had all of the testing done at the hospital. Had an MRI, CT scan on the carotids, and echocar-diogram and lab work. She had a little bit high LDL and that was the only thing that was abnormal, so they put her on baby aspirin and a statin drug. This happened when she was out of town. When she got back into town, her primary care physician said to report the mini stroke to Pfizer. There had been no reported side effects of clotting or whatever, with Pfizer. Before that, she had no high blood pressure, she doesn't smoke, and does not have diabetes. So, he said to report it. Called 911 and the ambulance came. They checked her blood pressure and blood sugar and they were pretty good. They advised her to go to the ER. Her son and husband drove her to the ER. She was in PRIVACY and went to PRIVACY hospital. They admitted her to the ER and gave her aspirin. She does not recall if it was one or two. She should have had 2 but does not recall. They observed her there. All of the symptoms resolved within 3 minutes. She had facial droop, slurred speech and glossy eyes. Her husband said she seemed a little out of it. They admitted her to the observation unit and they ran all the testing. Was there 13 hours. She was just in observation and was not admitted to the hospital. They needed her to follow up in a week with her physician. Has heard of other people having mini strokes but she is no expert. Just thought it would be nice if down the road, if there were any association, it would be published anytime that it did occur. No additional information provided regarding this statement regarding other people having mini strokes. Min stroke required a visit to emergency room and physician office. Relevant Tests: CT of carotids, MRI, echocardiogram, lab work, were all normal but little high HDL. They also did a separate CT of the carotids.
