Symptoms: Deep vein thrombosis, Dizziness, Fear, Hyperhidrosis, Induration
Clinical narrative: A couple of hours after Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine, approximately 6:00pm, my left calf became swollen. I called pharmacy and spoke to pharmacist to inquire if there are reports of issues with vaccine and swelling in calf, I was advised that he was not aware, but advised to seek visit at emergency room or doctor if needed. A few hours later I proceeded to go to bed with my leg still swollen and when I arrived to my bedroom I thought I was going to pass out, throw up and was sweating. In complete terror my husband and I rushed to our local hospital which is five minute drive to be admitted immediately to hospital with what was diagnosed DVT ( Deep Vein Thrombosis ) which required emergency surgery the next morning by their vascular team. My left leg was completely purple from toe to hip, they were struggling to find a pulse via my left foot,  swollen and hard to the touch and very painful. Dr., was my surgeon, head of vascular department at Hospital. This was a traumatizing event as one can imagine. I will be on blood thinners for what appears to be a lifetime, but feel blessed to alive, walking and feeling myself. I thought it important to report this event to VAERS per the recommendation of pharmacy to ensure it is reported.
