Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Cold sweat, Dizziness, Feeling abnormal, Nausea, Sensory disturbance
Clinical narrative: About 5 minutes into sitting in my chair during the 15 minute waiting period, I felt very faint and nauseous and clammy.   I looked around for a medical person, but it was a very busy time and there were lots of people in the room.  I leaned back in my chair and just tried to take some deep breaths until the feelings went away, about 2 minutes later.   I also had a strange sensation at the time of the vaccine - I felt the liquid from the injection going in and then i had a sensation across my upper back and neck.  I was a very weird feeling. After my 15 minute period was up, the scheduler came and booked my next appointment.  I asked her if I could speak to a nurse.  I did find a nurse and report my reaction.  She asked how I felt now - which was okay, and she asked if I needed something to eat or drink, but I said no and that was it.  I asked her if I should get the 2nd vaccine and she said yes.   I have never had this reaction to any vaccine or yearly flu shot.  I am not afraid of needles.  It was very strange and I felt off for the next 3 days.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Dizziness, Feeling hot, Lacrimation increased, Lymphadenopathy, Nausea
Clinical narrative: About 5 minutes after receiving the shot, I started having intense dizziness, and nausea, and my body felt very hot. My eyes teared up  as well.  This feeling subsided a little after 15 more minutes, so I went home.  At home (and within 30 minutes of receiving the vaccine), the lymph nodes in my throat swelled considerably and I had great difficulty speaking.  Having experienced anaphylaxis in the past, this was not anaphylaxis but something else entirely - it was like my vocal cords were paralyzed.  I took ibuprofen to help with the swelling, but it did not seem to impact my throat or ability to speak. About 4 hours later my throat muscles seemed to loosen and I was able to speak fairly normally again.

Clinical narrative: I had a pain in the injection site that evening till next afternoon. I was not concerned or alarmed.  HOWEVER, Sunday (Jan 31) I started itching badly on the leg on the side of injection (right side) around 4:30  there were huge dark red hive like marks all over.  In an hour it seemed to be on my arm.  I took  Benadryl (50mg).  At 10 o:clock  I went to put an pajamas and saw they were all over the left side of my arms and legs as well .  I took another dose  Benadryl , and again at 4 in the morning.  I thought it felt better in the morning but the spreading and itching was back  I notified my dr who said as long as I could breathe and swallow and my lips were not swollen I should not worry - tho he did find the reaction unusual.  He told me to take Zertec . I live alone, and have been quite concerned.  I can't find similar reactions on line.    My arms and legs are covered .  I wish someone would get in touch with me and tell me what to do.
