Later that day at an unspecified time, the patient experienced increased heartrate, dizziness, light-headed and lost consciousness while driving. The patient then lost control of the car and hit a tree. The next day the patient could not hear from his left ear at all but was not sure if the hearing loss was from the accident's impact or from vaccine in left arm. The patient was also experiencing body aches and his left arm was also sore at the injection site. Based on the close temporal relationship and the lack of a plausible alternative explanation, the causality for the events of "warm, tingly feeling as if the vaccine was going through his body", increased heartrate, dizziness, light-headed, lost consciousness while driving and his left arm was also sore is assessed related to the vaccination. The causality for the inability to hear out of his left ear is unassessable.  The causality for body aches is assessed as not related as it is more likely due to the accident.
