Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of dyspnoea, fatigue. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of chest pain.  Additional information: She wanted to know if there is any suggestions if a patient is still experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain and being fatigued after getting 2 doses of the vaccine over a year and a half ago in 2021. She stated it happened shortly after the vaccine was administered. The first time was few days after the first dose and she complained of fatigue and shortness of breath and chest pain. They sent her for an echocardiogram and that was all normal and within 2 weeks she started to feel better, and all of her symptoms resolved. Shortly after the second dose all the symptoms came back and have never really gone away. She was very athletic, played soccer year-round and plays 95% (percentage) of the game and never gets short of breath but now after this vaccine she cannot play that well or that long without having symptoms. They have seen so many specialists and still don't have any answers. They believe in the vaccine but they just want her back to normal. 4 days later, called office, stating she was experiencing shortness of breath and was very fatigued. Assumed the fatigue and shortness of breath was from Covid but patient is an athlete and plays soccer yearly. Probably plays 95 percent of the games. This all was shortly after the Covid vaccine. They did some tests, echocardiogram, all were normal. Just gave her a little time to get rest and not play sports. It did go away. Then, got booster 1Oct2021, symptoms persisted. Basically, she was very tired, chest pain came back and shortness of breath along with it. Did pulmonary function test, saw the cardiologist, did EKG, stress test, all normal.  Initially thought there was some vocal cord dysfunction, but they did some Physical therapy exercises.  All proven unhelpful, patient continued to have symptoms. Here they are a year and a half later. They still don't have any answers. She still gets very short of breath, and a little chest pain. Not quite sure who started her on it but, she saw a specialist who started her on Gabapentin for chest pain. Thinks it was more muscular than anything. It had not been very helpful either.  Not sure if it was the Covid vaccine but it was a coincidence that symptoms started after the Covid vaccine and got worst after the booster. Assumed it lasted a good 2 weeks. BY the time she got her booster, she was feeling good, back to her normal self.  When she came back, they thought they were not giving her booster, but she felt good by the time she got the booster. After booster, all the symptoms came back again. Last time saw patient was Jun2021 when she went in from knee pain, from playing soccer. Nothing since then.  Father has high cholesterol, allergies, mitral valve problems, which is probably something to do with them doing echo for patient. Pulmonary function tests were normal, cardiology did stress test that was normal. Thinks when they did stress test, patient got shortness of breath but, her heart was fine. Did go to ER Nov, due to broken arm, year not provided. Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s): US-PFIZER INC-202300148565 same patient/event, different dose;
