On 05May2021, she went to the emergency room because of her vertigo-like dizziness. She said that her head was spinning, and she had headache. She had dizziness, and she felt weak and then she had some sign of vertigo because head started just spinning and she couldn't keep her balance. Patient had no sign of coughing or fever or things like that.  Of course, patient had some nausea and patient had hard time getting up and when she go to bed and the way, go to bed then her head started spinning, felt like she on a cartwheel and she could not get up and then next most of dizziness too. So, it's been about a week now, since she had this, she had to call emergency so they can pick me up at 3 O clock in the morning and then she took CT scan and MRI but no stroke or no heart attack. Right now, she was still, patient had no chills or fever. It had been ok for a day or 2 now but, the vertigo was just about over. She mentioned that most of us like do get it by, she just had it couple of days and little bit down because patient could not remember but her head was just spinning. It was stated that she had not been to doctor over a year now and she do not have a resident doctor. It was stated that she had her daughter who helped her. It had been all day as emergency week. It was stated that no for medical condition, treatment, and lab data for a year now. She queried if it was safe to take the second dose of the vaccine on 20May2021 and she also said that she would cancel her appointment in the 21 day period and she would just have to reschedule it and she does not have the details yet and she does not feel normal. So, she was wondering if she should cancel it completely or she should wait to reschedule it.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
