Clinical narrative: On September 1, 2021 at 12:25 p.m. I received the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine from employee. The vaccine as injected into my left arm intermuscular into my deltoid muscle. The next day I had constant metal taste in my mouth, and which has not changed to this day along with weakness. A few days later I started having palpitations and feeling very light headed and short of breath. Along with severe headaches this issue has continued to increase. On September 9th 2021 while at work, I attempted to get up from my chair and felt extremely dizzy and started to fall at that point a co-worker grabbed me and helped me back into my chair and proceeded to get my blood pressure which was very elevated for my baseline. My coworkers at that point called one of the nurses that I work with to come and evaluate me and my blood pressure remained elevated then one of the doctors that I work with came in to do an assessment on me she listened to my heart and my lungs, at that time she advised for me to have an EKG.    Once all of my symptoms continued to worsen, I called my doctor to have an appointment due to all the health issues that I have experience since the vaccine. They took my vitals and preformed an EKG which showed to be abnormal. I have been referred to cardiology now due to the health complications since the vaccine. The following day while at work the symptoms were increasing with my blood pressure and tachycardia, When I returned from my lunch break, I felt very weak and lightheaded. When I reach my floor to my department my nurse manager was there and saw that I was not feeling well. She then took my blood pressure and it was so elevated that they called a code blue on me. I was transported via ambulance to Hospital and they performed 2 EKGs on me there. After being in the back of the ER they moved me to the lobby due to all the exam room being torn up from the new construction that they are doing. My husband who met me there at the emergency room where we waited for three hours from no rooms from the construction being done, took me to another ER where I was taken back within minutes. Once back in the exam room the nurses and doctors evaluated me and took another EKG and I had several labs done and x-rays and ultrasounds. After all the testes were done, The ER doctors came in and advised me of the abnormal EKG and all the other test results. They advised me to see a cardiologist as soon as possible. I followed with my primary care provider and again my vitals were elevated for me. He went over my labs and results from the ER who took excellent care of me. Every day I have weakness and brain fog and tachycardia and shortness of breath. Where-as prior to the Pfizer BioNtech vaccine I have been a healthy person for all of my life. Always exercising and walking, climbing stairs and being a mother that has children and a wife that has taken care of my family I want and need to stay active and healthy for them. Now am limited to the ?normal? activities that I can do without getting short of breath and my heart racing. Now I have worry that if I get up to quick and walk a faster pace that I will pass out. I worry if my young children and my husband will find me collapsed or having a heart attack because of the issues with my heart.
