I didn't tell anyone because it happened quickly and I was worried it could be misconstrued as anxiety and I didn't fully understand what happened.

Clinical narrative: Important to share: I had a strong case of Covid in March, 2020. No hospitalization and no need to go to hospital but I was very sick for three weeks. Oddly, after Covid I had odd heart pains and erratic high blood pressure. I saw a cardiologist and my heart was fine but it lasted on and off for months. I've been very well for months now.   1) The day after the shot, I felt tired and had a headache, which is expected and no big deal. The evening after the shot I experienced a lot of pain around my heart area. It was very similar to what I experienced post-Covid but more painful. It hurt enough that I went to the ER at Hospital in because of the chest pain. EKG, chest x-ray, and all blood tests were normal.   2) The next day, I fell asleep on a hammock in my backyard. I was wearing jeans and a sweater so the sun wasn't directly on me but I noticed later that the outside of my R leg and the inside of my L leg were covered in a red, lacey-looking rash. Oddly, my arms and torso had no rash. I called my Internist (Dr.) who asked me to email photos. She said it looked like an allergic reaction to the vaccine and advised me to submit info on this site and to take a benedryl. The rash was definitely where the warm sun hit me.
