Patient still recuperating from that. Cardiologist told him for every day in ICU he had expect 3 days to recuperate; ICU stay was 3 weeks; Had to stop surgery because blood pressure getting low. Thought it did not do anything that's what doctor basically said; but then said they fixed atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, got fixed itself, but reporter guessed it did not because in Feb2021 he had atrial fibrillation and was hospitalized); Uses CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) sometimes, sometimes does not because he gets frustrated with it; he did not have one that works so, sometimes he doesn't use it); had Type II Diabetes but yes, his sugars were high when at hospital, but overall doctor said he does not have the high sugars, his Type II Diabetes is mild.

It was reported that patient woke up with chest pains and high blood pressure in the morning, around 07:30 on 18Mar2021. Patient also felt like he might have the chills on 18Mar2021. He said to her that his arm was not sore at the time he got the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine yesterday (17Mar2021) and during call she asked him if his arm was sore, and he said he felt fine now. She called to ask if Pfizer tells all those facilities to make sure to give the paper before they do the injection of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine because she gets the feeling a lot of places were not doing that. Her husband was not given the paper or information from the paper for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine until after he was administered the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. He read the paperwork after he was administered the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and saw that it said to notify them if patient have a bleeding disorder or are on blood thinners. Patient was on blood thinners and no one asked him that or told him that before he was administered the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Reporter did not want him to get the vaccine because she thinks they are the guinea pigs. She does not like the government person that she cannot stand that is probably gonna kill a lot of people in her opinion. She felt like a lot of people are going to be dropping down now because of this. The events not resulted in Emergency Room and Physician Office and not hospitalized too.
