Medical history included hypertension (blood pressure high) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, pacemaker from an unknown date. Concomitant medication included a 10 mg high blood pressure pill (unspecified). The patient reported that after her COVID shot on 27Jan2021, she had the headache, achy, fatigue on unspecified dates; but she know that her heart rate was higher, she was exercising. It was higher than it normally was and her pacemaker, she have a pacemaker and she happen to have a pacemaker check 4 days after her COVID shot which they monitor every 7 months and it was working and it was pacing 100 percent of the time which was much higher than it had been before and the week after the shot she started having pain in her back, in her shoulder and it was hard to breathe, it's hard when she breathe and by the next day she ended up in the emergency room where she was diagnosed with pneumonia, tachycardia and pericarditis all on unspecified dates. She further reported that she was still suffering from them.  She have some other tests on the 04Feb2021in the ER, her hemoglobin was 14.6 and on 10Mar2021 it was 11.6 so, it gone down 3 points, by 04Feb2021 and 10Mar2021, her White blood count went down from 16,600 to 11,400 and her Sed rate count (ESR or sed rate) was 48 (clarification unknown).
