Additional information for other conditions included patient had fairly mild case, got herself checked and did have COVID virus on 02Jan2021. About 3 weeks ago right after she had thought she was completely over it; about 3-4 weeks into Jan2021 got this cough from hell, could not talk, if talked she coughed; figured something related to COVID because couple other people said had same thing. Concomitant medications included triamcinolone acetonide (KENALOG [TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE]) taken for cough from Feb2021 till Feb2021 and prednisone (PREDNISONE) taken for cough from Feb2021 (Taken for 2 weeks). The patient did not had any other vaccine in four weeks within vaccination. The patient did not had Covid prior vaccination and not tested for Covid post vaccination. She had first Covid shot 27Feb2021 and is scheduled for the second 20Mar2021, and she doesn't want to have the same reaction.On 27Feb2021, the patient experienced flu like tiredness, on same date at 12:30, the patient experienced nervous is her heart, chills, joint pain and at she had 20:00, patient's heart was beating very fast, muscle aches, had lots of cramps, freezing phenomenon and aching at the same time. The events were not treated. The patient reported onset of side effects about 20:00 on 27Feb2021. She called to ask if she should or should not get the second dose relative to these side effects; and if she should take a Tylenol before the second shot and after the second shot as advised by her Doctor-because she does not think that is right. She also asked if side effects could be related to her having had COVID virus 02Jan2021 even though her doctor told her to go ahead and get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, not to wait another month like she asked him. The part of the side effects that makes her nervous was her heart was beating very fast when she woke up in the middle of the night 27Feb2021 and really most of the next day until about 18:30 on 28Feb2021. It was really beating hard. She has the other side effects like muscle aches and things like that which kind of don't worry about but the biggest one was her heart beat. She also had lots of cramps described as murderous and was freezing and aching at the same time; but it scared her a little with the heartbeat. The papers talk about side effects bothering her right away, but her side effects did not start until like 19 hours after the shot. She felt like a freight train had hit her. Outcome provided as she was fine. By Sunday the 28Feb2021 at 18:30 she felt much better. She went to bed most of 28Feb2021, just lay in bed thinking maybe it would make her heart relax and stop doing whatever it was doing. So she lay in bed and fell asleep and when she woke up at 18:30 she felt fine. For the cough described in COVID history Doctor recommended that she take a Kenalog shot and cough medicine; she declined, said she had cough medicine at home, did not want the Kenalog shot because it affects her low cortisol level. Doctor wanted to give her Prednisone-she declined. A week later thought she would be better, was worse so she broke down because it was hard not being able to talk, awful not to be able to talk. She went back to doctor and he gave her Kenalog shot and Prednisone into the first or second week into Feb2021.The outcome of events joint pain, Flu like tiredness, Chills was recovered from sequel, the patient recovered from pain on unspecified date in 2021 and recovered from rets all events on 28Feb201.  No Follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
