She just spoke to a friend and colleague of hers who has the same side effect, heart burn after this last COVID vaccine, Comirnaty. On Saturday afternoon at 3:30, patient got the vaccine. She has had all her vaccines through Pfizer and only had reactions after the second one which was normal. All the other ones, she's been fine, perfect, not a problem. This is her5th vaccine. Got the vaccine at 3:30, and around in the evening, started getting a little bit of heart burn and thought to take Pepcid, not a problem and then the next morning she had the usual side effects, a little bit of fever, a little bit of a chill, throat aches, the arm soreness but what was really bad was the heart burn. It was a really bad heart burn and then she went to have another one of Pepcid. Maybe it was something she ate or something but she didn't eat anything. She had the ordinary, kept to a very plan diet to begin with. She couldn't even go to school because she teach, couldn't go to a school on Monday and then yesterday and was working at home, also feeling worse because she was scrunched in, been sitting. Patient called her doctor's office, her health plan and they told her to switch to Prilosec instead to see if that helps with the heart burn and they don't, they don't think its a side effect or anything. No one believed that it would be a side effect of the vaccine but this morning when patient was talking to her friend, they had a colleague that had the exact same side effect as patient did after the vaccine. Patient also mentioned she was not feeling well and has to find a way to get back to work while standing up.
