On an unspecified date, she experienced tachycardia, bradycardia and extreme fatigue. The consumer stated that she got her 2nd dose of the Pfizer Covid Vaccine on 20Jul2021. Since then, she has had all the other symptoms, and had a fainting episode at the time of the vaccine and multiple other fainting episodes since. Clarifies that the first fainting episode occurred the night after she got the shot, that night when she got up to get some Advil, it was like she was swimming through syrup and then she went down. The following day it happened again. Stated that she had a PulseOx and a blood pressure machine at her house, and her pulse was 39, and oxygen was 84%, which was what it was when she was sick with Covid; but her pulse and oxygen were not staying like that constantly. Stated that the day before, she felt hot and sweaty so she checked her pulse and it was 120. Caller stated that she was small, and typically her blood pressure was low normally, but it was 85/56 the two days before, so she had been all over the place since getting the 2nd dose of the vaccine. She was still sore for quite a while. She believed all her symptoms were directly related to the Covid vaccine, especially since the fainting episode started the day she got the 2nd dose. States she dose feel like she was improving; she's not falling on the ground fainting every day. Stated she has fainted about 6-7 times already; her dog took a hit for her, she fell on the dog instead of hitting the fireplace.

Stated that she had bruises all over her body from the fainting. Stated that the fainting could be an interaction with one of her medications, but at least she was alive.

She would like to see a Cardiologist, but she needs a referral.
