Her am is still sore and itching(She lastly explained her arm hurt in the muscle where [they] gave [her] the shot for 3 days, then it itched). patient stated, "I have a lot of allergies. I sat in the waiting area for a half an hour. I got home and about 8 o'clock at night, I start getting a headache so. I took a Tylenol, it didn't help, (PC Filed) I took another one and it somewhat helped. I went to bed, I had a very troubled sleep and I woke up with terrible pains in my right leg like a Charley horse, I had them before if I don't drink enough water. I got up, I took some water, went back to bed, by 2 hours later the pain happened again so I took some more water went back to bed, by 2 hours later got the pain in my left leg and I got up and I took a little milk. I tried to stand, it was very difficult. I had, it feels still since Friday like I am drunk. If you say is it a headache, not exactly but I don't feel like normal. On Saturday night I took 2 Dulcolax which are laxatives because I didn't go, have a bowel movement for couple of days and when I always take Tylenol I get constipated, so I took it so yesterday afternoon I was tired laid down in the afternoon and I had panty liners thinking that if I have a loose bowel movement or whatever, it was all like diarrhea a little more consistency all the way up to the slacks belt of my slacks, I had to clean myself up of course and then I was very very careful if I pass gas so I wouldn't be passing stool. This morning I went to the washroom and I still had a loose bowel movement but it wasn't diarrhea. My head still feels like I have been all drinking and I never drink, I am 81. The arm where I got the injection, it is starting to itch in the muscle and this morning I don't know if this is just arthritis or my age, the index fingers of both my hands were swollen a little bit and stiff. Whether that is from the Covid, I don't know but I don't feel right.", also reported that felt kind of groggy like if almost being drunk. The patient reported "I do have hypertension but last time I went to the doctor couple of weeks ago, it was 144 over 70 and he said fine. I was in a skilled nursing facility 9 days and my blood pressure was always 123 over 70." also reported that probably 3 weeks her blood Creatinine were a little elevated but other than that nothing. Also reported , "I would give them a call because you see the diarrhea could have been due to the Dulcolax, the laxative and then I had fiber or it could have been that it was just diarrhea because of the shot, I don't believe that. The muscle pain, leg pain, the cramps in the leg that is muscle pain I believe I had that, I did walk a great distance to get to the location, it could have been that maybe I didn't drink enough water, it could be relative things but the underlying headache, it's still I feel groggy it feels like I am almost, I had too much to drink." The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure measurement: 144 over 70, 123 over 70.
