Clinical narrative: I received my first vaccine in March 5th, 2021. Ten minutes after I received vaccine my heart began pounding and racing. The Nurse checked my blood pressure and my heart rate and both were very high. I was advised to stay and be monitored. After a while I started to feel better my blood pressure and rate were coming down but still a little high but I went home. I felt ok after that. My second dose on March 26th, 2021 I had the same outcome. Ten minutes after vaccine my heart began to pound and race. Again my blood pressure was checked and both my blood pressure and heart rate were high. I was monitored for 30 mins. and sent home when my vitals were lowering. About 1 hour after the vaccine,I experienced nausea, dry mouth and fatigue.  Later that evening, I had body aches, low grade fever and fatigue.
