It was reported that, the patient wanted to report a really bad reaction to the vaccine. She had the first dose the Friday before Christmas. She always gets vaccines and never has a problem. After the first dose she did not feel anything, she did not have any of the normal side effects, she was fine. She is a surgical tech. About 9 or 10 days later, clarifies it was Sunday 27Jan2021 she was fine all day and later that evening, she thinks she was either laying in her bed or getting changed and she experienced an episode which she describes as overwhelming heavy feeling all over her head, her throat felt like it was closing up, not like an asthma feeling. Her eyes got blurry. She has never passed out before or fainted, she just felt like she was at that point and got real shaky. She went to the ER since this episode lasted for a while. Her blood pressure at the ER was high, around 140 something over 90 something. They did a lot of blood work and nothing came back. Her pulse ox was fine. They gave her Benadryl in case she was having an allergic reaction. They did blood work and a chest x-ray to make sure for covid. States everything was fine. Her blood pressure went down while she was there for 6 or 7 hours. She was not admitted to the hospital She was told to follow up with primary for hypertension. She went to her primary doctor a couple of days later and explained that the only thing different was that she got the covid vaccine. Her primary doctor diagnosed her with chronic anxiety order and panic attacks and put her on medication, Paxil 10mg and Klonopin for panic attacks. Her primary doctor did not seem concerned about her blood pressure. She bought a pulse ox and blood pressure cuff since she continued to feel these episodes, it was not constant, but she still continued to feel the episodes. Reports her blood pressure has been all over the place, it has been high. When she was last seen by her primary doctor in Mar her blood pressure was 116/68 and she normally runs low. She exercises and she has never had high blood pressure. When she went to the doctor previously, she normally went in for a sinus infection.  She is looking to get information about these episodes she is experiencing. The episodes starts with that heavy feeling on her head, her throat feels like it is closing up, her eyes get blurry and she reports her blood pressure has stayed up. She also has some tachycardia. She decided to go see a cardiologist on her own. She had another bad episode this past Friday and her heart rate was up to 150. The cardiologist had her on a Holter monitor for the weekend. She has O negative blood and does not know if this has something to do with her episodes. She is going to have an echocardiogram and stress test next week. She is still experiencing the episodes. About 10 days after the second dose, she went back to ER where she had the same bad episode it was the same symptoms as reported above. They did not find anything in the bloodwork. States she had no issues prior to getting the vaccine, she did not have any panic attacks. States she had nothing like this before getting the vaccine. She works in the healthcare field and she has had all the mandatory vaccinations and has never had a problem. She was not even nervous about getting the covid vaccine, she forgot that she even got it, it was not even on her mind. She did report the episode to occupation health with her employer. It was suggested for her to get the second vaccine, so she did.
