He was wobbly, he ached, and felt terrible. It was a yucky feeling. He also felt nauseous, and it went away soon as he ate. He had never had a feeling like that before. He stayed down all day. He noticed all these events that occurred on Saturday 23Jan2021 started late morning around 10-11 in the morning. By the afternoon he was on his back for the rest of the day. It knocked him for a loop. Sunday 24Jan2021 he woke up and felt a little better. He still had some of the symptoms, but they were milder and kept getting milder through out the day. By Sunday afternoon they were almost gone and by Monday 25Jan2021 he felt normal and great. Tuesday 26Jan2021 these same feelings hit him again, but not the same way and was not as bad. Then 27Jan2021, they were gone and he felt fine. He went to the doctor's office yesterday (27Jan2021). The doctor thought he was having an inner ear problem. He has a history of tinnitus and the doctor thought this was causing the light vertigo symptoms. He was light headed, wobbly. He was prescribed Meclizine-25mg one tablet by mouth three time a day. Now, today, 28Jan2021, he woke up this morning and he had the same feelings again. He was wobbly. He had the same feelings that he experienced on Saturday 23Jan2021. However, they were milder. He felt like it is a little vertigo. He did not feel stable. He had never had anything like this happen before. The patient stated he is pretty healthy for his age. he is very active. He usually plays golf, but has not recently. The patient believes he is having a reaction from vaccine, he is not sure, but he is having some of the symptoms. The doctor provided him with medication, but he has not started it yet. He does not know if he should. Caller is thinking these events are related to the shot.
