The patient was calling to report this vaccination, which had caused her a lot of trouble. She had an ambulance come within the hour after receiving it. The police department, ambulance and the EMT they charged for that and then she had non-stop seizures they wouldn't stop and she took medication and they finally did stop. She did have seizures, they found out she had low blood sugar, but that's from a brain tumour and brain surgery she had. She had to be careful of her sugar content, she's not diabetic, she's opposite of diabetic. Her blood sugar was 92. Her blood pressure was high, it's usually low, really low. It was 138/72 or something and it's usually 92/56. She's not heavy, she's light, about 110 pounds. She's healthy, well in a healthy condition. She didn't have a thyroid, but she took medication. She guessed she's not the healthiest person. She finally made it to bed last night and she was up this morning and her eyes were so swollen they were almost swollen closed. She was putting tea bags under eyes. They were so swollen one of them was almost swollen shut and now she could hear her voice was really rough and raspy. She was pretty positive she's allergic to the vaccination. She didn't know what to do. She could not hold her grandbaby unless she had the vaccination that's the only reason she got one and now she's stuck and her eyes look terrible. She thought people with seizures with epilepsy she thought there should be a warning that it could cause seizures and to double up on medication. She was allergic to blue dye, that would do the same to her she didn't know if it had blue dye in it but she's allergic to that. She's also allergic to a lot of antibiotics. She got the vaccination late at (facility name withheld) about 20:15 last night on 01Jun2021 and within half an hour these symptoms started 20:45-21:00. Her throat was swollen. She didn't normally sound raspy, she sounded normal and had a little nicer voice usually. She still had the headache with seizures. The seizure ended because of the medication, she still wouldn't have ended her seizures if she hadn't take the medication, they would have ended later. The seizures were gone because she's on her medicine. Now it was her eye and her voice. The headache started within a half hour its a precursor an aura to the seizure. It started at 20:45. It was like it made her seizure medicines stop working like it halted the seizure medicines. She couldn't think straight she called people and talked to people. She was not in her right mind before she had the seizures it was weird. It affected her brain. She also had sore claves. Her calves were very strong and muscled she worked out a lot. She had anxiety but its better since her divorce and one of the pills for the seizures was an anxiety pill too it did both they figured out. What happened after she got the shot was she got anxiety, she thought what the heck. She had a panic attack, she thought that was so weird that was on the road. When she got home she was okay. Her voice was feeling better this was her talking normally, it's getting better. Also this shot made her nose run and made her cough like she was in the middle of a grass field, which she's allergic to grass. She just felt like that was weird. She's just allergic to that blue dye and allergic to a lot of medicine. Events did not resulted in emergency room or physician office visit. Patient declined to go to emergency room when asked by ambulance. The ambulance offered to take her she said no thank you. Treatment received included lorazepam: she took something called lorazepam to stop the seizures. That's the drug they gave her at the hospital and she had some for non-stop seizures which she's had in the past she's had these pills just in case because she lived alone. She put it by her bed just in case she had to take it again. The Lorazepam was 0.5 mg tablets she took one. She only took it if it's a non-stop seizure. She's taken it 3 times maybe in the last 3.5 years. The action taken in response to the events for clonazepam, lamotrigine and gabapentin was unknown.
