Details as described as follows: Reports she went to sit in the waiting area, after 5 minutes she noticed her tongue was a little numb. She took her card out of her purse, and noticed it was a little hard to swallow, this was within about 8 to 10 minutes. She sat for another 5 minutes and then decided to ask about her tongue feeling numb and was taken to the nurses station. She told them about her tongue, and as she was talking her mouth was feeling more numb and it was getting harder to swallow. As the nurse was talking to her it was like she couldn't really speak. The nurse said this is way past Benadryl and called to another nurse for an Epipen. Caller states she started to cough as her throat felt like it was closing up. They jabbed her with the Epipen within 15 minutes of receiving the vaccine. She got some relief for a couple of minutes and then her body went back into the allergic response. They put her on the oxygen finger machine and then her throat started to close again. They gave another Epipen and then the ambulance arrived. She is unsure how long after she got the second Epipen that the ambulance arrived but it was no more than 5 minutes. They told her they had to call 911 right after giving the first Epipen. When the ambulance team came, she felt like she had novocaine in her mouth, her mouth was super numb and she was super shaky. They said the shaking was normal from an Epipen. Adds her feet were also feeling numb. She didn't know before that the shaking was from the Epipen. She was able to walk to the ambulance and her husband came and the med team was asking him if her face looked swollen and he said her face looked swollen. States her mouth felt like it was moving funny and she was exaggerating her speech trying to make her mouth move right. Adds she was still unaware that this could be an allergic reaction and was just trying to remain calm. At the site, she noticed her vitals on the machine and she saw 148/70 on the blood pressure. Adds it was about the same in the ambulance, it was 148/64. She was not able to collect any information about the Epipen other than they were yellow with a blue cap and they held it in her leg for three seconds. No lot or expiration date known for the Epipens. In the ambulance she was treated with Intravenous (IV) steroids and dose of Benadryl 50mg. As she was being transported to the hospital, she started to have chest pain. They did an EKG in the ambulance with no remarkable findings. Adds she has a follow up with her Primary Care Provider (PCP) today. When she arrived at the Emergency Room (ER) they monitored her for a couple of hours. She had another EKG at the ER and was told that it was normal so they released her. She has no product information for the steroids or the Benadryl that she received. No lot or expiration date known. When she got home everything was calming down. Her throat was a little sore and she was tired. The next morning her chest was still tight. She called the doctor who told her to just relax and come back to the ER if she has palpitations or difficulty breathing. Mentions she got the results of the EKG in ER now, and it said it was abnormal as compared to a previous EKG she had, and something about the T axis. Adds now she doesn't have much of appetite and her tongue still feels a little off. Caller interrupts the call to say her doctor just called and she needs to go. Unable to complete the report at this time. The outcome of other events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
