Clinical narrative: small stroke; fluttering heart beat; myocarditis; pericarditis; fluttering heart beat and pounding heart; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 74-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/Lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm left on 07Sep2021 (at the age of 74-years-old) as dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included COVID-19 (She had COVID in Jan2021) from Jan2021 to an unknown date. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2, administered in left arm on 07Aug2021, was given (24-hour clock): afternoon (at the age of 74-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient experienced a small stroke on 06Oct2021 at 01:00, fluttering heart beat and pounding heart, myocarditis and pericarditis on 10Sep2021. The clinical course was as follows: The patient reported getting her first Pfizer BioNtech covid 19 vaccine on 07Aug2021 and her second dose on 07Sep2021, was unsure if these are the exact dates. Three (3) days after her second dose she began experiencing a fluttering heart beat and pounding heart, this side effect is still occurring and getting worse. Two nights ago, on 06Oct2021 she experienced a small stroke. She was wondering whether myocarditis will go away and pericarditis or is she stuck with a bad heart, is this a long-term side effect? She was healthy before and she is active. She has sought medical care and has an upcoming appointment with a cardiologist. Caller hopes this department can answer her questions. Ever since getting the COVID vaccine she has a fluttering heart beat. It was further reported that the other night, she had a little stroke. Now her son told her she might have myocarditis. Will that go away or is she stuck with a bad heart? She would really like an answer from a Cardiologist, but her appointment isn't for a couple of weeks. She had COVID in Jan2021. She got the vaccine because she was forced to get it. She doesn't remember the exact dates of her vaccine. She thinks one might have been 07Aug2021 and the other 07Sep2021 or something like that. It was a couple days, 3 days later, after the second dose that she experienced the fluttering heart beat. If she had it after the first vaccine, she didn't notice it. She had a stroke on 06Oct2021 at 01:00 AM. She still has a fluttering heart beat, and it has worsened. She got the vaccine in her left arm both times. She asked the lady to give it lower because she read it could help prevent the shoulder issues like Bursitis, but the lady refused. she would listen to her. She knows this fluttering heart beat is due to the shot. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included electrocardiogram: extra heart beat on 2021 and SARS-COV-2 test: positive on Jan2021. The events resulted in Physician Office visit. The outcome of small stroke was unknown, while of the rest was not recovered.    The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162B2], was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
