Clinical narrative: Within ten minutes, I had a big thump in chest and heart racing really fast and I started shaking uncomfortably. It felt like things were firing like crazy throughout my body and I had a hard time breathing. It looked like my chest and neck had a rash (nurse saw). Blood Pressure 160 for top number. 130's -140's heartrate. Within two minutes, everything kind of calmed down and a few minutes it all back upstarted again. Worse than the first wave, my heart rate went to 150's and I was  shaking controllably and convulsions and I was rushed to ER .  When we got to ER, I had abut 7 more waves like this hit about one minutes apart and heart rate was staying in 160's and I was shaking really bad and I was starting to go numb from waist down to my feet. The doctors were thinking about doing an EPI-PEN but instead they gave me an IV - Decadron and they also gave me IV Benadryl and IV Pepsid. And they started bolusing me with fluids (liter) to flush what was happening with me. And the episodes kept happening - about seven and the nurse who was with me decided to move me to a bigger room to big code room w here all equipment was just in case.And I stayed there for several hours. And the entire time my head felt very fuzzy and I couldn't think straight - like foggy brain. I was lost in the moment and not thinking straight which lasted about an hour. My heart rate started coming down within a couple of hours. Numbness from waist down to feet lasted until I got discharged about 2:00 pm in the afternoon. BP was back to normal but the brain fog was very heavy and the brain fog lasted several days. I went home and they sent me home with Prednisone for three days (I cut it in half because I can get allergic reaction to it) and wanted me to do it for three days they put me on Benadryl and Pepsid. That night I was still having foggy brain and my ears were completely clogged and I started having mini-anxiety attacks - heart racing really fast and out of breath would last an hour or two at a time and than it would go.30th still having those anxiety attacks and on 31st my legs felt like I was walking through mud. My left leg started dragging. Husband rushed me to ER on 31st. Doctors didn't know what to do and they said it might continue for three days and sent me home. It cleared up a two hours later (the leg dragging weakness thing). Fogginess in my brain was for days. On the 1st of January- that night I started bleeding vaginally and I hadn't had a menstrual occurrence for six years. I called my gynecologist and she wasn't in but nurse called her and told her that I should start all hormone drugs immediately. I was told to stop every thing for 3 weeks to clear out everything so they could tell what was causing me problems. I was still feeling the symptoms from the vaccine but they didn't know what was happening with the drugs so they wanted me to stop them. Foggy brain and anxiety attacks with racing heart stayed with me for days. Couldn't eat because every time you tried it felt like a heaviness in my stomach and I felt uncomfortable - so could only eat one pudding and  a cup of broth for whole day for one week and a half. Wasn't sleeping at all - because of anxiety attacks - would last two -three hours every night for about a week and a half. I was getting sleep deprivation. Went to urgent care for it. And that doctor gave me Valium because he knew I needed to sleep. I took it two nights and I slept. Went to work on Jan 13 and only got a full night's sleep until one or two night's before that.  Still have a bit of that foggy brain.
