Additional information:  Additional Information for Other medicines Corcidian HBP: Almost totally gone when she got vaccine, but she continued since she still had a cough. Received call from consumer. She had the Pfizer BioNtech COVID 19 vaccine booster Bivalent - 4th dose on this past Wednesday(11Jan2023). Saturday (14Jan2023) morning, she got up and was nauseous, threw up and could not eat anything. Low grade fever, very low grade and also had it on right arm. Right side was sore. Just really felt sick. Better today (16Jan2023). Wanted to report this and also she had Diarrhea. The patient weight reported as 150-155lbs. Have not eaten for 3 days and not gotten on the scale. Her daughter looked it up and everything she has is listed as a side effect. She is better today and is weak. She did have toast and egg and it stayed down.  Kept trying to push liquid and would have to take it in small amounts or else she would throw up. Had breakfast that morning on Saturday, and by about 10 am it hit her. She did not feel good and felt discomfort on right side. Throwing up- Last night finally got through the night and did not throw up. Drank water and Pedialyte and it stayed down. Had 1 cracker and it stayed down. Prior to that nothing stayed down. When she had first Pfizer BioNtech COVID 19 Vaccine, she had it on the left side. Had Lymph node swelling and pain there and that lasted about 4-5 days. The 2nd and 3rd booster had no side effects at all. She can't remember exact dates because it was so long ago. She later found her card and was able to confirm dates. When she got boosters she did it in the right arm because she did not want to go through it again. Called family doctor and said just to watch it. She could feel it on left side of chest, but it did improve and it did not get any worse, so she did not need to go to the emergency room. She could feel right side soreness was gone. The patient said she had a Lyme infection and mild stroke with no aftereffects. She first stated she could not remember if it was before or after the 1st dose, but later stated she was pretty sure it was before and it occurred in 2020. They put her on atenolol to prevent another stroke. Not sure what it was from and then decided all of the problems was from the Lyme infection. She recovered completely. She was hospitalized 23 Jul of that year. She got a bite and thought it was a mosquito bite and it got really awful looking on back of leg and cellulitis set in. Went to doctor to see about it. She was in AFIB, so they sent her to the hospital, plus she is allergic to a lot of antibiotics and they wanted to monitor her. She did not provide any details about what antibiotics she is allergic to. They put her on antibiotics for cellulitis and Lyme. They tested her and guessed over a period of 3-4 days. First came back negative, 2nd positive and 3rd negative. They assumed she did not have Lyme and only took the antibiotic for 8 days and then off of it. Then in September of that year, got a repeat test and said to take a repeat, actually it was end of August, got a repeat because some times it wont show up as positive for 3-4 weeks. It was labor day that year and she was packing to go visit daughter and her son said she sounded funny. She did not feel funny. Went into hospital and that is when they said she had the stroke. Also hospitalized for that for 3 days. It was labor day and she believes it was 2020, prior to the vaccines. Outcome Lyme: Took antibiotic for a month and then the doctor said she was good. She has not had any reoccurrences. AFIB: Was on the monitors and she had been on them 4-5 times while in the hospital and 2-3 times afterwards and never occurred again. They think it was from the infection. She has always been pretty healthy. The patient had no medical treatment. She was going to go to the doctor today (16Jan2023) if she did not feel better, so she does and did not need to. Since her daughter researched the symptoms and they were all there, they figured it was from the vaccine. When queried about event she could feel it on left side of chest it was confirmed that she was referring to the first dose.
