Clinical narrative: blood pressure and noted that it was almost at 200/blood pressure which was 189/96 / second time they took it, it was almost 200/ blood pressure was elevated already; felt weird; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 83-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 16Feb2021 (Lot Number: EL9261, unknown expiration) as dose 2, single at the age of 83 years old for COVID-19 immunization.  Medical history included ongoing high blood pressure (she takes a blood pressure medicine, the only prescribed medicine she takes. It has been many years like 35 or 40 years ago, she was in her 50s). Concomitant medication included unspecified blood pressure medicine.  The patient previously received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number: EL3246) via injection in left arm at unknown dosage on 26Jan2021 at the age of 83 years old for COVID-19 immunisation with no reaction. The patient was asking if there is any information about elevated blood pressure after receipt of the COVID vaccine. She got her second dose on 16Feb2021, and the next morning on 17Feb2021 at 11:00, she felt weird, so she took her own blood pressure and noted that it was almost at 200. She called the clinic and the doctor saw her immediately and took her blood pressure which was 189/96. The patient asked if this was a reaction from the shot and was told they did not know. The second time they took it, it was almost 200. The patient was prescribed some medicine/pill, she took two on that day. She took one right after lunch and was supposed to take another one in the evening if the blood pressure hadn't gone down considerably, which it hadn't, but by the next morning her blood pressure was pretty much back to normal, she recovered, and she did not have to take any more pills, it seems as though it was a reaction to the COVID shot. Today (on 29Sep2021), the patient went to get a booster dose, but her blood pressure was high, probably because she was anxious since she has just moved in a new town and has a new doctor. The clinic reported that they were concerned because her blood pressure was elevated already and did not want to administer the vaccine for fear her blood pressure would go up again like it had before and will have stroke. Blood pressure before she went to the clinic was about 130/67. She was surprised when she got to the clinic knowing that her blood pressure was that high. The patient also mentioned that she had some changes in her life, she recently moved to a new area, a new apartment, lots of changes, she went to a new doctor and a new clinic, and was probably a little anxious, she's assuming that's why her blood pressure was elevated today. She did not call about it back in February but called today to ask if there is any information about the vaccine causing an elevated blood pressure. Today (on 29Sep2021), her blood pressure is 168/69 but normally with her medication it runs in the 120s and sometimes in the one teens. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). The patient recovered from weird feeling on 18Feb2021, while not yet recovered from blood pressure elevated.   No follow-up attempts are possible; information about batch number was already obtained.
