On Friday (08Jan2021) she worked all day and felt arm soreness and sinus congestion but nothing out of the ordinary. The patient reported her right arm was still tender to touch, if she rotated her arm she can feel that she had the shot and she was still tender in her left arm from the first shot. The first shot hurt way more and hurt all over the whole arm, it was throbbing. On 08Jan2021 evening she felt really lightheaded, she thought maybe it was her sinuses since it is dry due to winter. She felt like a truck hit her. She had a low grade headache. On 09Jan2021, she felt a little nauseous, queasy, no vomiting. On Saturday (09Jan2021) she had a low grade temp of 100.3 degrees F.

She got up today (reported on 12Jan2020) at 5:30 am, she checked her temperature and it was 97.2 after the shower, an hour later it was 98 degrees F. She felt like she had to keep clearing her throat, her chest felt a bit tight which started Friday evening, the chest tightness was not terrible but it was there. She was not wheezing but when she took a deep breath she felt a little like a wheeze and she had to cough, she had a scratchy throat on 09Jan2020. She stayed home from work yesterday. The patient did not feel lightheaded today, felt it yesterday and did not notice it at all this morning, reported it has resolved. The sinus pressure and congestion started Friday night, she felt stuffy. She had a decreased sense of smell and taste on 09Jan2021.
