Concomitant medications included amlodipine; olmesartan medoxomil taken for hypertension; acetylsalicylic acid, ascorbic acid (ASPIRIN [ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID;ASCORBIC ACID]) taken for prophylaxis; atorvastatin calcium taken for blood cholesterol; metoprolol taken for hypertension; melatonin taken for sleep disorder, all from an unspecified start date and ongoing. She has taken medication for blood pressure and cholesterol for years and never had this type of pain. She takes amlodipine, olmesartan medoxomil and was taking Bystolic before and it was working ok but she would have PVC's and that was discontinued, and she was placed on metoprolol. The PVC's are better, better control over the PVC's. Clarified she had the PVC's before the medications. The patient previously received a flu vaccination for influenza immunization and got soreness at the injection site. Reporter stated that on her right side when she presses down in the area, she feels it a lot, has pain in the right side of her stomach when sneezing and coughing, and a very deep pain upon movement. These started mildly several hours after the vaccine on the same day and then progressively got worse over the last 2 days, 07Apr2021 was very bad and 08Apr2021 also and she still has it this morning. It let up a bit this morning. The slight dizziness started the same day as the vaccine a few hours later and has stayed about the same, it may be improving a little she thinks as she didn't really evaluate it this morning, but she thinks it might be a little better. The dizziness she knows you can have light dizziness as a side effect from the vaccine and it is not serious, it can be a normal side effect for people, that most people she has spoken to didn't have dizziness. The pain is a little less today, she is moving around now, and it has lessened to some degree, it is not as severe as yesterday or the day before. She didn't know if her liver was being affected or what, it is in that area. She feels her symptoms are 100% related to the vaccine. Consumer stated, "I took Pfizer COVID vaccine on 06Apr (06Apr2021) and after that I started feeling dizziness and pain in my stomach area or abdomen area and now the third day it is really bad. All I had was the Pfizer COVID Vaccine." When paraphrased the concern, consumer stated, "Yes, It is in my stomach area." The events coughing, sneezing and stomach pain were considered medically significant by the reporter. The outcome of the event slight dizziness was recovering, while of the rest was not recovered.
