A 67-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 05Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6199) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation at age of 67 years old.

The patient previously received the shingles shot before of 05Feb2021 for immunization. The patient got the first Vaccine, Pfizer Vaccine on 05Mar2021, she had really bad side effects and she had it for three months. She had vertigo everyday, it's very severe when she did things like gardening or yard work. she felt like she was going to faint. When the vertigo was bad, she had chest pain, which might be like acid reflux, never had that in her life. She had nausea, she had headache with the vertigo, in addition to that she had Tinnitus. She knew it pronounced differently. She had Tinnitus all the time, the 24 hours 7 days a week, she had tinnitus. She had difficulty in cognitive processing such as if she was in her kitchen and she wanted a spoon, she got a fork. If she wanted to go to the refrigerator, she went to the microwave. She went to a room, she didn't know why she came in there. It's like she had a brain of 80 years old at time of reporting. She cannot remember words, if she was talking a sentence she can't remember what the last word, it was like people with dementia so difficulty with mental process. She loose things. Sometimes she will do something and then she will say who did that and her partner will say you just put that there, so she didn't know how you put that into words but she had a very good brain before. She was older but very good brain, like when she went in her car in the beginning she would go towards the door at the passenger site when she really wanted to go other side. She cannot do what she used to do before and she felt sick all the time. So, she went to her medical provider and tested the patient for stroke (name not clarified). That's what she thought she got but the medical provider said no, so the medical provider referred the patient to a neurologist. So, the patient went to a neurologist and he tested the patient too. Within one week, the patient went to her medical doctor and she referred the patient to get a CT brain scan so she went and get the CT brain scan and it did not show any abnormality. So, the patient went to a neurologist and he did some tests and he did not think that the patient had a stroke but when he saw the vertigo he said that the patient should get a brain MRI. So, the patient got a brain MRI and it showed no abnormalities. So, he also referred the patient to a hospital that has a clinic for testing the ears both for hearing and also for its called balance test. So, the patient went to the hospital clinic for an hour and they tested her hearing and they told the patient she had some hearing loss but they cannot say if it's related to this. It could have been when the patient was younger and she didn't know the results of balance test because they didn't send the patient any information and they also referred the patient to an ENT. So, the patient went to the ENT doctor and they tested her hearing again. Consumer confirmed that no medicine was taken as a treatment. Consumer confirmed it was Pfizer COVID 19 Vaccine. She had blood work done so that she knew what dosage of thyroid medicine to give her, so, about three or four weeks ago she had her annual blood test for her thyroid but it didn't have anything to do with the side effect of the shot. The outcome of all events was not resolved.
