Vaccine: COVID19, COVID19
Symptoms: Headache, Lip swelling, Mobility decreased, Nausea, Swollen tongue
Clinical narrative: DAY 1 (Thurs. 1/14/21 - received 2nd dose of the vaccine at 8:49 am central time): 15 MINS POST SHOT: acute tingling around mouth and tongue; BP spiked and face became very flushed. Waited with nurse until 1 hour post shot. BP stayed above normal all day, as did fatigue. 12 HOURS POST SHOT: sever headaches warranting migraine medicine but I only took Tylenol and Ibuprofen since Maxalt (10 mg) can raise BP. Alternated Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 3 hours but would only get about 2 hours of relief each time. This continued through the night.   DAY 2 (Fri. 1/15/21): 23 HOURS POST SHOT: Headache remained. but was lessened after taking Mucinex D. Extremely fatigued, which remained throughout the day.  24 HOURS POST SHOT (9:00 am): Saw NP at clinic, BP was normal.  Was prescribed Fioricet, ESGIC 50-325-40 and advised to take it if headache returned. If ineffective after 2 hours, advised to take Maxalt 10 mg. 10:10 am: took Fioricet with no impact to headache, took Maxalt at 12:10. 28  HOURS POST SHOT: Severe, painful heartburn in my chest and  upper back - Mylanta provided no relief.  Headache returned and started having severe abdominal pain and shortness of breath. 29 HOURS POST SHOT (~2PM) Went to urgent care; vitals were all normal. Received fluids and "GI cocktail" containing lidocaine. Heartburn pain subsided but headaches and abdominal pain. Was advised to go to Emergency Department and did. ED ran multiple labs and ECG to rule out gallbladder, pancreas, etc. Headaches and abdominal pain at this point were excruciating and debilitating. Shortness of breath was significant. ED staff said they have seen the different reactions I was having to the vaccine, just not all together in one patient at the same time. Pain subsided after fluids with Benadryl, Toradol and Reglan. Was discharged approximately 4 hours after arrival. MD prescribed Reglan for continued headaches through the weekend.  DAY 3 (Sat. 1/16/21): 48  HOURS POST SHOT: Severe headache when I awoke. Reglan did not provide relief. After two hours, took Maxalt 10 mg . Headaches and significant fatigue continued with such severity I took Maxalt as frequently as allowed per dosing instructions. I stayed in a dark room until Monday (1/18/21, Day 5), ensuring I was staying well hydrated and nourished. The fatigue was so significant that movement was very labored. It should be noted that I am a very active person and I had zero energy and missed two days of work (Fri and Mon).  DAY 4: headaches were less frequent  DAY5 (Mon. 1/18/21): At 3:30 PM (~126 hours post shot) - it was like someone flipped a light switch and the fatigue and headaches were gone and I felt like I was back to normal.   DAYS 6-7, (Tues. and Wed 1/19-20/21) - worked a normal day at work.  DAY 8 (Thu. 1/21/21): extremely fatigued again, like over the weekend, but it only lasted today.  Of note, the lips and tongue tingling would come and go following the initial weekend of severe reactions. While noticeable, it was not as significant as within the first 15 mins of receiving the dose.  On Monday 1/25/21 at approximately 3:00 PM, the tingling was very noticeable and my BP spiked again. Since that time until now, I have had no reactions.
