Reaction had not gone away. She had to go back to the office several times to have that treated. Clarified reaction as welts, hives, and itching on skin. She took a lot of dermatology. She did have a reaction with the Flu shot (no NDC/LOT/EXP). She received it when she had an empty stomach and after working out for a couple hours. She stated that it went all the way through her. It was several years ago. She got a Flu shot every year after that reaction and it had worked fine. Preferred clinical, or synthetic, and not live. Live stuff did not work well for her.

She received first COVID-19 Vaccine on 14Mar2021 by pharmacist and scheduled for second dose in Apr2021. She read information when waiting 15 minutes after COVID-19 vaccine and noticed she could have a possible fast heart rate. She wanted to know if that could cause her heart rate to go up. Thought she received a placebo. She did not have side effects. She didn't feel anything. Her arm didn't hurt. She had nothing until she took her blood pressure. She did the V-Safe and was logging in every day. She felt fine and didn't feel any different. She reported that as everything was fine, she was not going to start Losartan till she received the second COVID-19 vaccine but started on 22Mar2021. She didn't want to introduce new stuff into her system all at once. She didn't want to start Losartan until she knew everything was ok. She didn't want any linkage between the COVID-19 Vaccine and the Losartan. It was reported that she had a video call coming up with a nurse practitioner. She was afraid and did not want blood pressure to get close to stroke numbers. She did not feel sick and felt fine. She did not take drugs. She lived a healthy lifestyle for the most part. She was way too inactive. She went to gym, but people did not wear masks and she did not want COVID. Because her blood pressure numbers went up, she did not want kidney disease. As her numbers had gone up higher than it had ever been and she thought that she should began Losartan to see if the blood pressure numbers would go down. Blood pressure was 168/90 and had never been that high before. All week blood pressure had been high like 168 and sometimes 143. Her normal range was 118/73 to 137/79 before the COVID-19 vaccine.
