In 2021, Computerised tomogram: abnormal (abnormal) negative for cancer; sugar spots found on her lungs 2 years prior were a little bit bigger. In 2021, Echocardiogram: abnormal (abnormal) mitral valve prolapse and aortic stenosis. In 2021, Oxygen saturation: 96% (normal) after walk laps over 6 minutes ( 95-97%). In 2021, Pulmonary function test: abnormal (abnormal) showed mild COPD.     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   The patient stated that her primary care physician put her on Prednisone 40mg daily for 5 days. She stated that she was more comfortable, but it did not help her breathing. Patient was seen by a Pulmonologist on 9Jun2021. She stated that she smoked for 40 years, so the pulmonologist wanted to do a CT scan to rule out lung cancer and none was found. He did find that the "sugar spot on her lungs," which was found 2 years prior, and was a little bigger but not concerning to him. He took her oxygen level (96) and then had her walk laps around his office for 6 minutes. Her oxygen level then ranged between 95-97%, so she did not need to be on supplemental oxygen. He then did an echocardiogram and diagnosed her with mitral valve prolapse and aortic stenosis.  The patient stated that her blood pressure is now high and she is seeing a cardiologist on 19-Jul-2021. She stated that she thinks the vaccine accelerated these things and she's been in a living hell for 3 months. She stated that she used to only have to use her albuterol inhaler 3 or 4 times a year. She said that she pants just sitting in chair and has trouble chopping vegetables. Physician did a Covid test, CBC, PFT, Liver Ultrasound, and tested the patient's liver functions. The patient reported having never been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse or Aortic Stenosis before the vaccines. She was diagnosed on June 9, 2021 as a result of her Echocardiogram, but she had been feeling effects as of March 22,2021.
