Medical history included heart attack from Oct2020, asthma and she developed asthma from when she worked with cleaning materials and can't be around industrial cleaning products because it sets off her asthma, ruptured back disc from Jan2017, having shortness of breath dyspnoea prior to receiving the vaccine, allergic to mold and dust mites, abdominal pain came back so she took some Pantoprazole sodium 40 mg, cholesterol was high on her lab work with the Lipitor. Concomitant medication(s) included clopidogrel (CLOPIDOGREL 75 mg once a day); ezetimibe (EZETIMIBE 10 mg, once a day); apixaban (ELIQUIS) 5 mg 2 times a day; and dicyclomine (DICYCLOMINE) 20 mg tablet taken for abdominal pain; atorvastatin (LIPITOR [ATORVASTATIN]) 80 mg NDC and lot unknown, expiration date 13May2022 taken for blood cholesterol; montelukast sodium (MONTELUKAST SODIUM) 10 mg taken for allergies; pantoprazole sodium (PANTOPRAZOLE SODIUM 40 mg) lot and NDC unknown, expiration date 05May2022 taken for abdominal pain; metoprolol succinate (METOPROLOL SUCCINATE) 25 mg once per day orally taken for heart. The patient previously took rosuvastatin calcium 40 mg tablet for cholesterol but when she started taking that it caused a lot of back pain and stomach pain and chest pain. Patient reported that she received first dose of vaccine on 01Jun2021 in afternoon and within 3 minutes after receiving the vaccine she was sitting down, and her heart started pounding and racing and she thought her heart was going to jump out of her chest and the symptom lasted for about 5-6 minutes and as she was currently in a research study and has a heart monitor in place until 06Jun2021. She did not know this could be from the vaccine. The patient didn't know if she got the Pfizer covid vaccine because she didn't feel anything, and she doesn't have a sore arm. She also stated that she had abdominal pain this morning, so she took dicyclomine and was on Lipitor up until this week, but they had to swap her because her cholesterol was high on her lab work with the Lipitor and the patient was back on Lipitor as of today (date not specified). This morning the patient abdominal pain came back so she took some Pantoprazole sodium 40 mg and as the Pantoprazole did not work so she took the dicyclomine. The patient has been having shortness of breath prior to receiving the vaccine and no one can figure out why, so she did not think that happened from the vaccine, her stents were not clogged. The heartbeat was totally new for her and she never had that before. She further stated that she was scheduled to receive the second Pfizer Covid 19 Vaccine on 22Jun2021 and was asking if she should receive the second dose. She mentioned that she was high risk, and her doctors were hounding her to get the vaccine. Her symptoms were still ongoing. On an unknown date the patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood cholesterol which result showed cholesterol was high. The outcome of the event was not recovered.
