The patient experienced 'anaphylactic reaction' in 2021, 'hypoaesthesia', 'tremor', 'sensation of blood flow', 'musculoskeletal stiffness' on 26Jul2021; and 'feeling hot' in Jul2021. It was reported that the patient received her first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine on 26Jul2021 and experienced a reaction. Her blood rushed up into her neck and her neck and face went numb. It was numb up into her chest and it felt like a rope was wrapped around her neck. She shook for 5 hours after the vaccine. She continued with stiffness and numbness in her neck. She was observed at the vaccine facility sitting for an hour and then was sent to the emergency room where she was given steroids; stated she still has the stiffness and numbness in her neck and was calling to see if she should take the 2nd dose of the vaccine or not. The pharmacist that did her vaccine advised her that he didn't think she should get the second dose. The events required a visit to the emergency rom. The Emergency Room doctor didn't know, but he did diagnose her with an anaphylactic reaction. Her Health Insurance nurse didn't recommend getting the second dose either. She will see her primary care physician the day after at 1PM in a follow-up. The patient further stated that it was like a rush of heat straight up her chest and neck and she started shaking and could not stop and her kids sat on her legs and she was shaking like crazy and then it happened right away. Also stated that they gave her the first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine and she thought that was the best shot. She didn't feel like anything and right away after a minute or a minute after she got the shot, the heat rushed up her neck and chest and a really numb feeling and it was still numb on the right side of her face but not where her face was but also on her neck and chest. Reported that she was still numb currently and her neck was stiff from that. According to her, the symptoms were the same and she did not have the rope feeling of it tying around her neck and did not feel like someone was choking her. Stated the heat felt resolved probably like a half hour later, it started going away and then she was super, super really numb and felt her neck lifted up and her neck was so tight. The shaking began a minute after the vaccine was administered and was not ongoing and resolved she knows for sure she had it for 5 hours and then like went to bed and did not know what time she woke up in the morning and she was not shaking anymore.
