Clinical narrative: 1st covid shot: 10 minutes after I felt light headed and numbness\tingles throughout my entire body for up to a minute. (didn't eat prior) 2nd covid shot: felt similar symptoms but only lasted a few seconds. (ate that day) ------------------------------------------------  Issues\Symptoms Week 1  May 2-8 Right eye started slowly watering on Sunday and kept going for a week  Dizzy moment on a trip. Eye stopped watering mostly by Saturday -----------------------------------  Week 2  Dizzy moment again at a friend's  house(hadn't eaten that day).  Numbness through arms/weakness. May 10th: Panic attack. I was driving home and felt the numbness go through my arms so I pulled off and called friends to come and get me and take me home.  Ended up calling another firend who is a nurse and she had me squeeze someone's hand and check my face for sign of a stroke etc.  She thought I was having a panic attack and said to get some food, take some melatonin and try to calm down and goto sleep which I did.  May 11th: Saw General doc  who ordered blood work and heart monitor. No recommendations for immediate issue. EKG looked fine.  Through the week Numbness and tingles in arms and head Ringing in ears, lots of head/sinus pressure, unable to focus, brain fog. -----------------------------  Week 3 May 19th: Had blood drawn for testing: Night before getting heart monitor I couldn't sleep because it felt like not breathing fast enough made me light headed to the point I could pass out and was getting worried.  May 20th: Fitted with a heart monitor for 48 hours.  I was freaking out when we got to the hospital and almost went to the ER but we went to cardiology and saw the nurse who helped calm me down and did another EKG which looked good. Blood pressure was high that day possibly from the anxiety. Stayed at my dad's the next few days with the monitor, had tingles a couple times, some pressure, but slept well. ------------------------------  Week 4 May 24th: Followup with General doc said blood tests looked good, not diebetic, blood pressure fine, no signs of heart problems.  Gave me 6 days of prednisone and Nasonex for possible inflammation of Eustachian tube. (didn't feel like they helped any)  through the week: Felt okish for a day and a half, drove to work and then towards the end of the day started feeling off, right side feels like it's floating up and down, sensation down through leg which lasted about a week. Pushed in between nose and cheek on right side and felt numbness/pain shoot through my head on that side Periods of ringing again though not as much but also periods of head pressure and pain if resting head on hands etc. ---------------------------  Week 5 Muscle spasms in both arms lasting a couple minutes, finger twitching on left hand.  Also had muscle spasms in legs since.  ENT visit June 2nd: Audiologist tested hearing and saw no issues. ENT  gave me an exam and did not find any issues with the Eustachian tube or any other problems.  Suggested to do see if the symptoms continue to lessen and if they dont then do a VNG test and if that doesn't provide anything that he would have to refer me to a Neurologist next to see if they can find anything.  After the visit I came upon a web site and found that there are 300 pages of other people posting having the same symptoms as I have been experiencing for varying lengths of time, some upwards of 10 weeks. https://vestibular.org/forum/dizziness/covid-19-vaccine-side-effects/ At this point I am absolutely convinced my issues have been as a result of some sort of reaction from the covid vaccine. There are way too many people having the same issues in a similar timeframe for not to be true.  In the few weeks since I still have symptoms that come and go but don't last nearly as long when they do. However it can still be quite disruptive depending on the circumstance.
