On 30-Dec-2020, the patient experienced PALPITATIONS (feeling of palpitaions). On 30-Dec-2020 at 3:02 PM, the patient experienced HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate spiked to 129), FLUSHING (Face got very hot), ERYTHEMA (Face got very red), BLOOD GLUCOSE DECREASED (Blood sugar was low), HYPERHIDROSIS (Sweaty palms), COUGH (Coughing) and DIZZINESS (Felt dizzy).

The patient was treated with OMEPRAZOLE for Adverse event following immunisation, at an unspecified dose and frequency. At the time of the report, HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate spiked to 129), FLUSHING (Face got very hot), ERYTHEMA (Face got very red), BLOOD GLUCOSE DECREASED (Blood sugar was low), HYPERHIDROSIS (Sweaty palms), COUGH (Coughing), DIZZINESS (Felt dizzy) and REFLUX GASTRITIS (Reflux) had resolved with sequelae, DYSPNOEA (Trouble breathing), ASTHMA (Asthma attacks brough on by smells), HYPERSENSITIVITY (Feeling of having allergic reactions to several things) and PRESYNCOPE (going to pass out) had resolved and VACCINATION SITE REACTION (Covid arm) and PALPITATIONS (feeling of palpitaions) outcome was unknown.  DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On 30-Dec-2020, Blood glucose: 43 (Low) Low. On 30-Dec-2020, Heart rate: 169 (High) High. On an unknown date, Antibody test: 8.5 (normal) 8.5 and 44.5 (abnormal) 44.5. On an unknown date, Tryptase: negative (Negative) Negative.   The action taken with mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) was unknown.  For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter considered HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate spiked to 129), FLUSHING (Face got very hot), ERYTHEMA (Face got very red), BLOOD GLUCOSE DECREASED (Blood sugar was low), HYPERHIDROSIS (Sweaty palms), COUGH (Coughing), DIZZINESS (Felt dizzy), DYSPNOEA (Trouble breathing), REFLUX GASTRITIS (Reflux), ASTHMA (Asthma attacks brough on by smells), HYPERSENSITIVITY (Feeling of having allergic reactions to several things), PRESYNCOPE (going to pass out), VACCINATION SITE REACTION (Covid arm) and PALPITATIONS (feeling of palpitaions) to be related.

The patient got tested for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), but tryptase test was negative.  Treatment included snack intake for blood sugar, diphenhydramine (Benadryl), steroids unspecified, omeprazole and Montelukast.
