A 65-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on 05Sep2021 (at the age of 65-year-old) (Lot number was not reported) as dose number unknown, single for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included allergy to sulpha (unspecified medication), allergy to Walnuts (anaphylactic shocks), and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) 30 years ago but she had it under control. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Reporter (husband) stated he was calling for his wife who had the adverse event. His wife had the shot on 05Sep2021 at (name withheld). The adverse event, they went to the emergency room yesterday, her general doctor had been gone on vacation, she went for couple of weeks, they were trying to get in, they were booked just because of everything going on (further clarification was unknown). They couldn't get into her to see her doctor, so the doctor told her staff get to the emergency room or walk in clinic. So, they got to emergency room and they did a bunch of staff and they were going to be record pretty much right (not clarified over the call) and now it's been sent to their general doctor, so here what happened and the husband wrote it down from the ER people so there wasn't any confusion. She got the COVID shot on 05Sep2021 (Sunday) and then on 06Sep2021 (the next day), she started suffering extreme pretty bad dizziness, now (Sep2021), his wife did have vertigo and she was diagnosed with vertigo, BPPV benign positional something vertigo (as reported), he could not remember the name 30 years ago but she had it under control, it never got out of control on her. In the first 2 years of 30 years ago, it was pretty bad and she had always kept that under control and never has a 'broke' big incidence with this sense or she was never out of control like vomiting and nauseous and totally the room is spinning around, she never had that effect at all. But all of a sudden (Sep2021), she started getting extremely dizziness, couldn't even walk straight, then had pretty bad fatigue and her legs got really heavy and that's the one that's worrying them. She got really heavy legs, where they just felt like she was dragging 'logs' and flushing, she had flushing like hot, cold, her face was turning red and stuff and headaches, she started getting headaches and all of this continued. Now this was the weird part, all of this continued to get worst until the 12Sep2021, a week later after the shot. On 12Sep2021, all of the above that went into extreme mode, all of these things he told really got bad and then a rash developed all over her body with small bumps, he meant all over the body everywhere. This rash slowly went away after 7 days (19Sep2021), he gave her Benadryl (treatment) to calm it. He watched her breathing, her breathing was a little labored, he knew if it got worst she was going to go to ER (further clarification was unknown) and here's the thing, and she had an allergy to Sulpha (unspecified medication) and walnuts and she carried Benadryl with her for that reason for the walnuts because she did get anaphylactic shocks, in other words her mouth lips tongues and throat swelled if she accidently ingest walnuts through the cookies that people gave her and didn't tell her there's walnut inside it. She was very sensitive to that, her lips swelled so she always carried Benadryl in her purse in case accidently. So that's some fact he want ed to tell and then, so the rash did go away in about 7 days and it's completely gone now. Then on 22Sep2021, her middle finger in the right hand became very painful. She was sitting in the chair, watching TV and then in just 15 minutes, the figure turned black and blue, like a blood clot, like something happened to it, it was black and blue instantly right in front of her eyes. This eventually went away after about 4 or 5 days it completely disappeared from the finger, the black and blue part. After that incident with her middle finger, the middle finger started blowing up, it swelled up, it swelled and turned black and blue. After that, he was thinking blood clot to himself, he first was not a doctor or anything but she started taking Alka-seltzer (treatment), it had Aspirin in it 325 mg and it also helped with pain and some other stuff to calm the stomach, Sodium and stuff like that in it and so she just took that basically because it had aspirin in it. After the finger's issue, she noticed her legs were much more painful and extremely heavy like she was dragging 'logs' around and the legs got worse than they were for the time. She would have to stop even half an hour. This will give a little background, she worked at a school district and she was walking about 10 miles a day, she was extremely healthy and that's 5 days in a row she did that. Now, she would have to stop every half an hour at work and rest. She would actually get so dizzy and her legs were so heavy she would have to hang on to the walls and then she actually sat down. Treatment in response to adverse event: reporter stated she did take medication. She did take Benadryl for the rash, Alka-seltzer because they were worried about possible side effect. They didn't know yet and then she did take some ibuprofen just for the headache and body ache. Reporter added and asked if they will be contacting him or his wife, main thing was his wife that's he was worried about, since she had quite a few reactions. Reporter stated if did he needed medical guidance, they had gone to the emergency room and she was going to her doctor this coming Tuesday in general, she (doctor) got from her vacation so she was going to see her everything that ER came up with. Reporter further added that she would like to continue where they stop him, there was another issue, after the finger issue, she noticed her legs much more pain and extremely heavy like she was dragging 'logs' around, she would have to stop every half an hour and rest, now this was what he got when he got home, her wife's legs were hurting from inside and he said to let him feel her legs, he felt down each leg kind of where the main arteries went down on the each leg on the inside of the thigh and her inner side 'down the foot' and it was very painful to medium to hard touch (further clarification was unknown) so something was inflamed, there was pain in the arteries and then she started getting legs cramps at night, at times very intense, arm and hands were also cramping and then her toes had extreme pain in it like her finger but no black and blue developed in toe but she had that same feeling in her toe that was strange, it went away but there was no black or blue developed like the finger did and then her hearing had been worsen, which was strange and she started getting extreme headache at night between middle of the night at 12 AM to 5 AM in the morning, it make her get up, she get and take the Ibuprofen and take some Alka-seltzer which helped her headache too (clarification unknown) and other thing was her breathing had been labored at work unlike the past (clarification unknown), she is in very good shape, she wakes 10 miles a day at work, so that was very strange that her breathing was labored then she also stated that she was also allergic to Sulpha and walnuts.
