Clinical course: On an unspecified date (reported as "night of 10/6"), Patient woke up around midnight feeling like she was having a panic attack or a heart attack, it was really bad feeling. On 06Dec2021, the muscles in her chest, sternum area and her gut felt like they were clinched up tight. She was shaking internally, but it wasn't her heart causing the shaking. No rapid beating. It was in her chest area, which was why she thought this was a heart attack. Her pulse rate was about 74 bpm, so not fast enough to cause the shaking sensation. Patient fell asleep around 3:30, and felt fine next day. The same thing has happened every single night ("since 10/6"), though patient didn't feel fine during the day now. Yesterday evening was the worst. Her neck was extremely tight down both sides from ears to chest. Although BP was normal, her heart bpm was at 108 vs norm of 69. BPM increased every day.

Patient felt better today, but was worried about tonight. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. Since the vaccination, the patient has not been tested for COVID-19.
