Additional Information: Caller calling about the Covid 19 Vaccine regarding his wife is why calling. She has taken the Pfizer Vaccine and ended up in the hospital. Little did they know later on that some of the side effects had to do with the vaccine. She had to go to surgery, a procedure, with issues with her heart. He was calling for clarification and understanding. He later mentioned they will have some expensive hospital bills. He explained his wife had the procedure done at (Withheld). He further clarified the side effect that occurred and what resulted in the patient going to the hospital as being short of breath. Caller explained when she went to the hospital they said she had fluid around the heart. They found out and had to have a procedure, he does not know the exact name of the procedure, but they had to drain fluid. He clarified condition as pericarditis, inflammation heart and had to do the procedure right away. This was an emergency for her. Caller did not have full date details to provide. He did not know when the shortness of breath started initially.  He commented the medical record will show. Caller stated his wife went misdiagnosed. She went to one Emergency Room and was diagnosed with something different. She went to another Emergency Room and was rushed right away to get an ultrasound to see what was going on. They came to the conclusion had the diagnosis and had to drain because it was fluid around heart. He does not know exact dates his wife was in the hospital, but she was in there almost a week. After the procedure she was in ICU and then she was released over the next few days. Short of breath: Commented she is not complaining of it at this time. She was off work and off feet for about 6-8 weeks. They were asking how this occurred. He was reading information about the vaccine and issues with the heart is one of the side effects. Thinks she has recovered. His wife lives with him and he does not hear her complaining. Before the procedure she was complaining of being short of breath all day every day. She is on other medications, but he stated he is not able to spell out/provide all those details we are asking for at this time. When probed for details mentioned the heart doctor who performed the procedure and drained fluid off heart was a specialist. The thing that he was thinking about that brought this to his condition that has been lingering on his mind over the weekend is what he read. He asked them what caused this to happen, it's not often fluid fills outside the heart, but they did not know.    The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162B2], was not provided and
