Clinical narrative: 7-8 hours after injection slight soreness at shot location; 20 hours after injection sudden wave nausea & possible need to vomit, defecate, urinate, & dizziness; sat on toilet & collapsed forward onto floor into stack of towels remaining semi-conscious for a several minutes trying to determine location; worked way upright, got to bedroom, and tried to sleep but severe chills; chills subsided and slept 6 hours; felt feverish and in period of 2 hours had temperatures of: 99.6; 100; 100.4; 101.5; 101.8; 98.8 & went back to bed for night; awoke feeling relatively normal 03/13/2021; thereafter to the present time of 04/04/2021 days of feeling relatively normal, but often waves of feeling light-headed; blood pressure my blood pressure taken at home on Omron wrist device has been highly variable from 136/74/58 down to 101/64/72 with prior normal being about 115/65 to 130/70 at home and as taken at the eye doctor's office on 03/01/2021 the week prior to cataract surgery on 03/08/2021 it was 128/70, but is commonly higher at doctors office exams likely due to stress of driving to the doctor's office and on day of surgery was up to 158/80; on those days of being light-headed the blood pressure was commonly in the 101/64/72 to 114/65/61 range; my body temperatures remained in normal ranges of 97-98; beginning on 03/30/2021 there was some feeling of some throat or esophagus constriction and harder to swallow; this has continued & included acid reflux on 04/03/2021 and feeling very tired and went to bed about 05:00pm & slept to 08:00pm followed by going to bed at 11:00pm and unable to sleep the rest of night due to acid reflux in throat all night; but better on awakening this morning; it remains that there is the feeling of being light headed; a few times during this period after getting the Moderna vaccination the area of the injection has had a minor soreness, and/or itchiness. I have not yet seen a doctor about this reaction, but I did indicate to my eye doctor prior to the cataract surgery on 03/08/2021 that I would be getting my second Moderna vaccination 3 days after.  He felt it should be okay.  Similarly at the time of my first Moderna vaccination, I told the nurse practitioner that I would be having cataract surgery 3 days prior to the scheduled second vaccination.  She also felt it should be okay, as well as having had a reaction to Amoxicillin for the first time about 11 months earlier.  That reaction was hives all over the body that kept recurring for 3 weeks and thereafter at places on the body for another month.  I am otherwise in excellent health for my age and the only medication taken is Timolol for glaucoma.  I am active and frequently walk several or more miles several days per week.  My reaction seems unusual.  I have only now ceased taking the last of the cataract surgery eye medications, that being Prednisolone eye drops.  If the symptoms persist after seeing my eye doctor tomorrow, and after elimination of the eye drop medication as of today, I will be scheduling an appointment with my regular doctor for a checkup.
