Clinical narrative: We believe Flu vaccine was the cause of reactions: Less than 24 hours after vaccines Patient woke up next morning feeling like he had the Flu.  By the afternoon he was having palpitations and rushed to the hospital.  Was experiencing tachycardia up to 180.  Medication was given twice to lower heart rate.  He was back in the emergency department in less than a week.  He was in the emergency department countless times. Experiencing tachycardia, feeling of anaphylaxis, hypertension, feelings of radiating waves from head to toes, taste and smell of metal, red welts on the neck, veins in arms bulging/pulsing, feeling empty-headed/cloudy and hypertension.  The treatment prescribed by Dr., cardiologist of Hospital, was to drink water and eat salty snacks.   Dr., cardiologist, also Hospital of, had Patient wear a heart monitor for 60 days to determine if he was experiencing arrhythmias.  None were detected.  Medication was never provided.  Various blood and urine tests were performed at Lab and Lab.  My son has been to Hospital; Hospital; and, Medical  In the fall of 2019, while at school, Patient started experiencing tachycardia, a cardiologist prescribed metoprolol.  The medication would jolt him awake.  School medical referred him to a neurologist.  He had a head MRI without dye performed but showed nothing.  In January 2020 I communicated with Dr. at the CDC regarding GBS. My son was experiencing tingling in his hands and feet, an increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and muscle aches.    Due to the continued tachycardia, school medical prescribed Patient hydrochlorothiazide, and atenolol.  He no longer takes either of these medications.  But he does keep the hydrochlorothiazide prescription current in case he needs it.  Patient is doing better.  But once in a while odd symptoms still occur.  Unfortunately, I can't say his primary care doctors really helped.  I had to request tests be performed.    My son's need to get the COVID vaccine took coordination between his primary doctor and cardiologist.  Patient received the Moderna vaccine.  Thank God no problems so far.  We are concerned about Moderna combining the COVID and Flu vaccines.  We don't believe he can ever take the Flu vaccine again.   Today is the 3rd anniversary of the date my son received the Flu and Meningitis B second dose vaccines.  I believe that one of the doctors in the emergency department of the hospital we visited reported what my son experienced - probably from Hospital.  I have attempted to seek help from attorneys, with no success because Patient's symptoms were not documented causes of any disease or injury.  Although the three-year reporting period has expired, I wanted to be an advocate for my son, tell his story and bring attention to his suffering.  He missed out on his last year of high school activities because he couldn't participate and some of his first years in college.  They can be replaced.  If requested, I do have Patient's medical records and can make them available.  I hope this information can be used to help someone.  Thank you for this opportunity and your time.
