The patient reported that when he got the booster the headaches came with force and pain on the right side only, it was so bad his right eye started drooping and he had to take a couple Aspirin, he went to the ER, and they told him that it appears he had had a mini stroke, they gave him a bunch of steroids, blood thinners, and Aspirin. They did a couple of CAT scans that showed no clots, but they still attributed these events to the Pfizer shot. His headaches were constant, he was not able to get rid of them, with the Aspirin, the pain pill (he was actually prescribed prior, was taking it for kidney stones, name was Norco 3.25), he can't get rid of it, he was using the Biofreeze patch (lot number: 15001200601, expiry date: May2022) on back of the neck to get rid of headaches. It was just the right side, he can't get rid of them. The patient stated that he didn't have any internet right now because of COVID, the money was being used just for paying regular bills. He had had no problems with headaches before the shots, but now it was constantly here. He told a nurse practitioner about the reaction and initially they kept telling him they didn't think it was the vaccine but when it continued and he told his primary care he was in the hospital from the Pfizer vaccine then they agreed. When looking of PCP information he stated that his memory was not that great. He went to his PCP once a month for his kidney issues and kidney stones. He would like to get rid of headaches. He was trying different medications for the headache. Patient stated that headache initially after the second dose it was mild and would come and go.
