Additional Context. The patient had the third dose the day before yesterday. After the second dose and yesterday the patient got very sensitive to the toothpaste, it would burn her mouth. After the second dose it lasted for a couple of weeks. Yesterday when the patient tried to use her least sensitive toothpaste her mouth burned, and her upper lip is swollen this morning. The burning in the patient mouth with toothpaste did go away a couple of weeks after the second dose. The patient is afraid to use toothpaste. The patient is asking can antihistamine help reduce the swelling of the lip. After the second dose the patient was very tired the next day and had a rapid heart rate with very light activity, it got up to 134 beats per minute. So far that hasn't happened with the third dose, the patient heart rate has gotten up to 120 and is lurking around 92 when she isn't really working out. This is higher than usual, the patient usually is around 69-72 so this is a little bit of a rapid heart rate. Because the patient had the rapid heartbeat after light activity for a few weeks after the second dose. The patient saw her doctor Date: 15Oct2021 for an EKG before the booster and it looks normal and so her doctor told her to get the booster. The patient had burning in her mouth before and its not feeling swollen and does not. The patient stayed away from some of the toothpaste that caused the burning for a couple of weeks. The patient had a sore arm after the second dose but was better because she did arm movements. The patient has very little soreness in her shoulder now. The patient didn't feel it when she got the third dose of the vaccine and said, "did you give it to me" the man giving it said she didn't feel it because he was talking to her. The patient walks 3 times a week and exercises 6 times a week. The patient moved in her weights that she lifts at the gym from 6.6 to 10 pounds. The patient rinsed her mouth after she brushed her teeth yesterday and thought that would take care of it. The patient guesses some if it got absorbed because her upper lip is swollen this morning. The patient mouth isn't raw, but her lip is worse. The patient hadn't had any water for 14 hours before she got her labs drawn so her creatinine and bilirubin were a tiny bit out of range. The patient GFR was 54. The any of adverse event did not require a visit to Emergency Room nor Physician Office.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
