Caller wanted to get back and do some things. He felt that if he got Covid after the vaccine, he would not get as many side effects. He did get his flu shot and the experience had always been positive. His daughter also got flu shot and had positive experience. Caller thought that most people who didn't get shots was because they were afraid of needles. He thought maybe there was a different way to administer it so more people were taking it. Medical history included ongoing hypertension (About 14 years). He did not have high blood pressure if he was exercising. It was in good control. When caller was asked if he had a family history related to reactions to any vaccines, he stated that both his mother and father got the vaccinations. They were the first ones in the elderly group. His dad got sick and got a little lethargic and out of it for a day or so. He was not feeling well. His Mom just had a sore arm. Caller declined to do report on his parents. Concomitant medication included olmesartan medoxomil (BENICAR) taken for hypertension from an unspecified start date and ongoing, he said he really didn't needed to take it anymore, but he still took it and had been taking it for about 14 years.

Caller stated he now had a cardiologist appointment on 05Aug2021 and even though all of the tests came back negative, they put him on low dose aspirin. Caller stated he had seen the studies about 19-39-year-olds having chest pain and inflamed hearts and would like to know if there was information based on his age. Caller asked if there was anything he could do or take for the chest pain. Caller stated that it had been going on for a while and he was very uncomfortable. Stated that Pfizer cannot make treatment recommendations. Stated that caller got both doses of the Pfizer Covid vaccine. He experienced lots of chest pain. It was a dull achy pain near his heart in his chest. It occurred a week later after his second shot. Caller wanted to know if Pfizer offered assistance. He said that he was going to accrue a great deal of expenses. He had an appointment with a cardiologist on 05Aug2021. His appointment was so far out as that was what he could schedule. Caller also said that he was at the ER for a day and a half as they wanted to remove all life threatening possibilities such as the risk of a heart attack. They could not find a heart attack. He's never had a heart attack, but from what people described to him, that feeling in his chest.ck. When caller was asked if he was a healthcare provider, he said that he had done First aid, but he was not a healthcare provider. Caller did not want to provide email address. Caller clarifies that he had chest pain on Sunday night, around 22:00. He was sitting on his couch watching TV. Outcome: States it is persisting, then states he felt that there was a slight improvement at this time. He did not feel it around the clock like he did the first week when it was constant pain. It was coming and going very frequently. Caller stated that the only thing they told him to do was take a baby Aspirin 81mg. They told him he could resume activities. He walked and hiked a lot. He was hesitant to hike with altitude. He did outdoor activities like cutting the grass. There was no difference in the feeling of the chest pain whether he was doing activity or resting. It didn't make it better or worse. Caller stated that they did several tests on his heart when he was at the ER. His heart was strong. They could not find anything. They wanted him to go to the cardiologist to get an EKG and sonogram. He would have those done 05Aug2021 before his meeting with the cardiologist. His blood pressure in the ER when he arrived was 133/89 approximately. It lowered as they kept taking it. Caller stated that he knew probably 10 to 15 males who took shot. None of them had this problem. They had normal side effects such as sore arm and lethargic feeling after the second dose. He was talking to them to see if anyone had anything like this. None of them had chest pain. Some of them were big men like 270 to 280 pounds. Caller declined to do reports on these men. No further information provided. It was a park that had everything there.
