The clinical course was reported as follows: The patient stated that she was supposed to wait 15 minutes after getting the second dose of the vaccine and within a few minutes she had a tingly sensation in her left arm and left hand that was more so towards the pinky and her ring finger area. She used to have a history of passing when she got a shot or blood drawn as a young girl, but as her brain had experienced this over and over again she had been fine; however, this time she began to pass out. Since she knew it was coming with the tingling, she knew it was not normal, so she immediately went and told the employees that she was in a position of where she might pass out. So, she laid down and did not feel so great, but probably 20 minutes went by and she felt weird. It took her 45 minutes to decide to sit up and then 15 minutes later she left. The tingly sensation in her left arm and left hand was gone, but she had a left-over numbing feeling. The patient also reported that her brain had a swooshy feeling, like she was groggy, and she did not want to turn her head too fast because she felt like she would not like it. Relevant tests were reported as no. The clinical outcomes of the events this time she began to pass out, tingly sensation in her left arm and left hand, she was in a position of where she might pass out, did not feel so great and she felt weird were recovered/resolved on 28Apr2021 while the clinical outcomes of the events numbing feeling, brain has a swooshy feeling and like she is groggy were not recovered/not resolved.
