Clinical course: Consumer stated, Well, I got the latest COVID shot, Pfizer COVID shot (Clarified as Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine) 05Oct and its just so happen I had doctors appointment 45 minutes later and anyway when they tested my blood pressure it was flare up to 174 and normally its been in a 120 range for the systolic and the doctor thought it was just because I was visiting the doctor and I went home and I tested my blood pressure and it was in the 140s and 150s, that was on 05Oct. Then the following day it actually early very early Saturday morning. I tested my blood pressure it flare up to 195. So, I went to the emergency room and they thought it was probably because I had the COVID shot and they advice me to go back and seen on Monday morning, the following Monday they advise me to see the nephrologist and also see my primary care doctor and so I did and the primary care doctor raise my blood pressure medicine which is Amlodipine from 5 milligrams to 10 milligrams and because of some other I dont know why I could not communicate with the doctor, nephrologist but on the phone Thursday he directed me to start taking 50 milligrams a day of Losartan to two 25 milligrams tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening and I have been doing that since about the 8th or 9th of Oct and my blood pressure just come down some but its still very high. It ranges now from 125 approximately up to about 170 on the top pressure but the bottom pressure seems to be somewhat stable between about 58 and 64 but I just thought I should report this. This is my 7th COVID Vaccines I have had no issues that I know of before with the other Vaccines and so wondering its good to report it but I was wondering have you heard of any people having high blood pressure problem with the newest Pfizer Vaccine? Consumer stated, No, I dont want to know if its common that I think it could occur in some people and I am just curious if they heard of any people having high blood pressure problems with the new COVID Vaccine (Clarified as Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine)? Consumer stated, I believe it is sort of stable but it is high. The information on the batch/lot number for bnt162b2 omi xbb.1.5 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
