Clinical course as follows: She is currently 71 years old. She wanted to tell about the side effects of Pfizer covid 19 vaccine. Now she is due to get the booster and she has concerns and nobody can answer her questions. She suffered from side effects, clarified that her blood pressure went over the roof after she had the first and second dose of the Pfizer covid 19 vaccine. Her blood pressure went up to 220. They did not check her blood pressure during the covid vaccination but she had an appointment for a colonoscopy on 10Mar2021. They woke her up and was shaking her like she was so angry, she was told her blood pressure was 220 and then 193 and then 185. They called all the doctors and made such a big fuss and did an EKG. All the time she went through all the tests, she was asking herself why she has high blood pressure, she thought it was connected to the colonoscopy since this is the first time she knew about her blood pressure being elevated. She knows and read research from France that a lot of patients that took the Pfizer covid 19 vaccine had blood pressure increase. She is asking what ingredient in the vaccine could be causing the blood pressure increase. Asks should she take the booster. She was a 100% healthy person before the Pfizer covid vaccine. She read it causes myocarditis. Asking if the booster will make her blood pressure worse. Reports that for 5 months she refused to take medication, she thought maybe the side effects would disappear if it was from the vaccine and she was drinking beets and celery to lower the blood pressure. She wanted to know why she had the blood pressure increase so she went to the cardiologist and had tests. Even during the colonoscopy the doctors rejected it, clarifies the doctor states that her increased blood pressure had nothing to do with vaccine. When she asked her primary doctor if she should take the booster, she was told according to cdc the benefit outweighs the danger. She had 3 strange episodes, one day she woke up and she had bloody eye, completely bloody and she called doctor and she was asking the nurse what it could be. She thought maybe her brain is bleeding. She went to ER but she was not admitted. She saw the doctor and looked in her eye and said it is just a blood vessel that broke and nothing needs to be done. One day she woke up and she noticed that her feet were swollen and this has never happened before her in life. She was so surprised she could not see her ankles. This happened one to three months ago. patient stated, "I was looking online for the booster. I had two Pfizer shots. First one 27Feb2021 and the second one, 20Mar the same year (2021) and I had terrible side effects. You know the doctors were saying no it was not possible. My blood pressure went to 220 after the Pfizer and it stayed 193, 185 its stayed for months and I was trying to get the tests from the doctors what was causing the high blood pressure and they were saying we did not know. The EKG were normal, the blood tests were normal, the urine tests were normal and they were saying we did not know but you should take medication for the high blood pressure and I refused the medication because I am a senior citizen, age 71 (Further not clarified) and I was in excellent health. I did not had any problems till of the Pfizer my blood pressure went over the roof and I started to be very concerned and so I did not take any high blood pressure medication because I did not want more side effects but you know my blood pressure stayed in Apr, in May, in Jun, in Jul. Then my doctor told me that I can drop dead anytime from high blood pressure and I have to start the medication. So, I started the medication like two or three months ago. The doctor prescribed Losartan and the blood pressure was still high like 179, 175. So, they told me that I should take a water pill, so, thats a long name for that medication. I did not remember its a water pill. So I am taking those two medication and they increase Losartan to two pills so I take 1 in the morning 1 in the evening and in the middle of the day I take the water pills. So, during the day my blood pressure is much lower it is like 150, 160, 140 but at night if I wake up since I did not take medication it still can be 180, 195. So, I want to report this to you because I found online information from France. The French they did research and they found the side effects of Pfizer the heart inflammation, the muscles or in the chamber or on the outside. So, I have this concern because I spoke to the doctor about the booster. I am afraid to take Pfizer booster because it may increase to the problem with my heart and they said, CDC, they comments that the benefits outweigh the side effects. So, I did not know if I should take the Pfizer booster and I am worried because you know there are restrictions for people who did not take the booster that like if I want to travel if I did not show that I had the booster maybe they will decline my travel. So, I wanted to report that because I did not make it up its really happened to me and I am sure it happened to other people and I visited cardiologist and he did not know what is causing the high blood pressure. What is the reason? What is the ingredient in the Pfizer that effect the heart? Because you see now when I was reading about side effects it says myocarditis, inflammation of heart muscles. Pericarditis, inflammation of the lining outside heart. So, is the booster going to bad for me. I want the Pfizer to give me answers. Should I take the booster? Because I am 71 and I did not want to have heart problems. I did not want to be paralyzed or have a heart attack. So, can you give me the answer?"
