I was weak and shaky and light headed, my top lip was fuzzy feeling. I didn't feel like there was a blockage in my airway but I felt like I was having trouble getting my rib cage to expand so I could breathe. I went back in and was sat down, I was evaluated. Paramedics were called, by time they came I was lightheaded and I was foggy brained. I couldn't respond easily. My BP was 165/99 and my heart rate was 98. my O2 was fine but by that time I felt like I had to work hard to get a deep breath. I was feeling worse quickly. I was taken to the ER in a wheelchair.

Doctor ordered a blood sugar test and it was below 100. Chest x-ray, EKG and blood work. He told me later that everything was normal. I was there for 2 hours before I felt like I could go home. I didn't receive any medication. I was able to breathe easier by time I left the hospital. I was thinking more clearly as well. The next day I was still feeling shaky and weak. I went to my PCP on friday and I was feeling normal by then.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Anxiety, Loss of personal independence in daily activities, Sleep disorder, Stress, Tinnitus
Clinical narrative: Have had tinnitus for a number of years, but the volume has always been at a reasonable level such that it was never disabling.  I was awakened on the morning of March 24th by considerably louder tinnitus ringing in both ears and was unable to sleep thereafter.  This condition persisted throughout the day, causing significant stress and anxiety and making normal function extremely difficult.  That night, I was unable to sleep at all.  Though the volume has diminished somewhat, it is still close to being at a debilitating level, making normal function exceedingly difficult.  Receiving the vaccine was the only change in my normal routine, so I am attributing this condition to that.At this point, I have determined not to get the second dose of the vaccine.

Symptoms: Product administration error
Clinical narrative: Patient stated he was injected twice by the vaccinator, LPN, during his vaccine administration. Patient was concerned that he may have been poked with a dirty needle and then given the actual vaccine. He stated that administered the first syringe when he commented that it burned. He stated told him there wasn't anything in that one and then administered the actual vaccine. The patient showed his arm, where it did in his opinion, appear there were two needle marks in his deltoid region. He discussed the issue with LPN. Her story was inconsistent as she repeated what happened. She stated she did not inject the patient twice.  She denies using a dirty syringe on the patient and stated she immediately throws her dirty needles in the sharp's container. HE interviewed LPN with someone else present. Initially stated she did not inject the patient twice. She later stated that she did poke the patient twice: the first time is when the patient complained it burned, she stated she pulled the needle out and then proceeded to use the same needle and injected the patient with the same needle. He informed LPN that he advised against that practice and that her story had changed from the previous versions. He informed her that he was sending her home immediately.

Symptoms: Arthralgia, Injection site mass, Injection site pain, Injection site rash, Injection site warmth
Clinical narrative: I have Covid arm.  Developed a lump over the next several days post vaccine, which got larger over time.  Didn't hurt too much unless I touched it.  Didn't stop me from doing anything I normally do, and I didn't pay much attention to it.  On Day 10 post vaccine, I happened to look at my arm in the mirror after a shower, and noticed a red circular rash at the injection site, about the circumference of a golf ball.  The lump underneath was very warm to the touch, and the spot was still sore if touched.  Kept watching daily.  On Day 12, it was the largest that it had been...the rash was 2 1/2 inches in diameter and still warm and sore.   Had soreness going up into my neck and down towards my elbow.  By Day 14, I noticed that the center of the area was returning to normal skin color, so the rash looked like a big red 'O' now.  Have taken Benadryl the last two nights, and it appears a lot lighter in color today (Day 15 post vaccine).  Lump is still there and still warm, but it seems that the worst is over.  The lump fills my cupped palm, but I can push on it pretty hard now without pain.

Clinical narrative: Within an hour of the shot I  felt very tired and took a long nap. Around 5 pm I began to feel a little achy and a slight headache. During the night, I ached all over, had a terrible headache, the muscles in my neck felt like they were drawing  up, I had fever, but didn't get up to check it, my joints and bones ached, I had chills and it was a miserable night. The next morning I got up to make my breakfast and I kept trying to pass out and would have to sit down. I was sweating real bad and finally went to lay down. My husband fixed my lunch and I began to feel like my eyes were getting black, and then I slumped over and he said my head was bobbing on his shoulder. I could hear him saying my name, but I couldn't respond. Right after I cam to, I began to throw up at the table. He called an ambulance and they came and check me out. My blood pressure, blood sugar, EKG, and pulse ox were all normal. I refused going to the hospital, but I didn't know what the hospital could do for me. I called my family physician's office, but never heard back from them. I hear the second shot is worse than the first, so I am not sure if I should take the second shot. Also, strangely enough, my arm wasn't sore. Every time I have the flu shot I feel bad for a couple of days. I also felt bad after my Shringrix shot and pneumonia shots.
