Clinical narrative: she would die it felt so bad; A few days after the 2nd shot, she had heart palpitations which have continued now for 14; she went to Urgent Care where they did an EKG that showed she was experiencing bigeminy; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 71-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as 2nd dose, single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported.  The patient previously received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN5318) administered in right arm on 03Feb2021 for COVID-19 Immunization. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine myocarditis side effect in someone age 71 after 2nd shot plus 17 weeks of on-going side effects since first shot first reported to Pfizer in March. The patient has been experiencing this for 14 weeks and she's 71. It appears that older people who have also had heart palpitations and other unusual side effects are not being reported. After her first Pfizer/BioNTech shot on 03Feb2021, she started experiencing extreme fatigue, brain fog, short term memory loss, difficulty concentrating, headaches, nausea, congestion, cough, fever, chest rash, and occasional hand spasms. While some side effects went away after a few days, the fatigue, brain fog, short term memory loss and difficulty concentrating continued right through the 2nd shot three weeks later. After the 2nd shot, she was flat on her back for 24 hours and thought she would die it felt so bad. The longer term side effects have now continued for 17 weeks. There is nothing from the CDC, Pfizer or the news that talks about side effects lasting this long. Pfizer should have been concerned with her March report after a few weeks. A few days after the 2nd shot, she had heart palpitations which have continued now for 14 weeks. After a couple of weeks, she went to Urgent Care where they did an EKG that showed she was experiencing bigeminy. Some days, she will experience this for several hours. There are other days where she won't experience it at all. It is intermittent. Overall, she has experienced bigeminy 80% of the time since the 2nd shot. She has told her healthcare provider (Withheld) about these side effects. She talked to her doctor about them as well as nurses. Whenever she mentions vaccine side effects, they do not say anything to her. Zero response. Ignore that she said anything. Pfizer and the CDC have both said that we should talk to our doctor about our side effects. But it appears some doctors and health care provider systems don't want to hear about them. Her doctor finally agreed to refer her to a cardiologist for a workup. It took 10 weeks to make that happen! But doctors in our area are overwhelmed with an influx of patients because they held off going to the doctor during the pandemic and before they got vaccinated. She doesn't even have an appointment yet over 10 weeks since the EKG showed she was experiencing bigeminy. The consumer stated his wife (the patient) has experienced 11 side effects from both doses of the Pfizer covid vaccine, its been  19 weeks now, they have previously reported this (him and his wife 71 years old) received a letter from safety that is not related to what his wife has experienced. she had heart palpitation, he is aware of the younger people experiencing it but nothing about the older people experiencing that. The outcome of the event she would die it felt so bad was not resolved, the outcome of the other events was unknown.  Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.
