Clinical narrative: high blood pressure/blood pressure 167/93/Blood pressure 144/95; Racing pulse/pulse was 177/pulse was 163/Pulse 116/ rapid pulse; Her heart was pounding; she couldn't catch her breath; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient herself). A 43-year-old non-pregnant female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot number: EL8983, Expiration date: Unknown), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 01Feb2021 at 08:45 AM (at the age of 43-year-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included mitral valve prolapse (diagnosed at the age of 18). No known allergies. Concomitant medication included medroxyprogesterone acetate (DEPO PROVERA) from an unspecified date in 2020 and ongoing, received in two weeks within the vaccination. She took a Depo Provera shot on Saturday 30Jan2021, but she has been on this medication for a year now since either Feb2020 or Mar2020. The lot number and expiration date was unknown, since she has discarded the packaging. She usually picks up the drug, and her neighbour was a nurse, she usually just gives her the injection, since COVID has started. The patient previously received flu vaccine on an unspecified date in 2020 for immunisation and experienced feeling bad, didn't feel good. The patient previously received flu vaccine on an unspecified date for immunisation and experienced thrown up, chills, fever, body was sensitive. Caller was queried she if she had had any issues with vaccine in the past, caller states that she takes the flu vaccine every year, her body was sensitive to the flu vaccine, this year she had no issue, but last year (on an unspecified date in 2020) after the flu vaccine she started feeling bad, didn't feel good, years before she has thrown up and had chills and fever. Her body must be sensitive. However she has never had the heart issues. The patient did not receive other vaccine in four weeks. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior vaccination. The patient has not been tested with COVID-19 post vaccination. It was reported that, she was calling about the COVID-19 vaccine. She received the vaccine yesterday at 8:45 AM, then at 12:30 PM she began to have a rapid pulse and high blood pressure. She went to the ER because of her pulse and blood pressure. In the ER, she received an IV to calm the heart, she doesn't know what was in the IV. They did blood work and told her the blood work was fine, and the chest X-ray was fine. She went to a Cardiologist today, she does have a valve prolapse, but she has had no issues with that for many years. She states that her body had a weird response to the covid vaccine. Caller states that she need Pfizer to know what happened because it was real scary. She has her first dose on 01Feb2021 at 8:45 AM. The rapid pulse began while she was sitting at the computer working. Her heart was pounding on 01Feb2021, she couldn't catch her breath on 01Feb2021, and so she was a school teacher, so then she went to find the nurse, and even in that she was having trouble catching her breath to be able to even talk. The nurse took her into the office, and she put a pulse ox monitor on her finger. At 12:25 PM her pulse was 177, at 12:30 PM her pulse was 163 with blood pressure 167/93, at 12:40 PM pulse 116, blood pressure 144/95. The nurse then called the ambulance because it was alarming. Caller states that doesn't know what her readings were in the ambulance. She went to the ER at (institute name withheld) and they did an EKG, 2 of them. The regular ER doctor was not super helpful, he said that she was okay to take the second vaccine. Caller did not agree with him thinking that the 1st covid vaccine sent her to the ER. HCP: He was at (institute name withheld) Cardiology. He did an EKG today (on an unspecified date in Feb2021), she doesn't know results at the moment. He didn't say if it was normal or abnormal. They did an echocardiogram, she was also assuming nothing was alarming or she would have been told the results. He listened to the heart and said it sounded fine, there was nothing he could detect. She did have a rapid heart rate at the cardiologist office, both pulse and blood pressure were elevated. He said that she was going to do a stress test in a week, the doctor was also going to see what the blood work from the ER yesterday looks like, he would also check the thyroid. He told her that next week she would also wear a heart monitor. She was at the doctor's office today at 10:30 AM. Her biggest concern was which she talked to the cardiologist today about was the 2nd dose of the vaccine. She doesn't want a repeat of this event. The cardiologist said that she was supposed to get the second dose in 3 weeks, let's do testing and see where we stand. Her 2nd dose was scheduled for 22Feb2021. She was concerned this happened. She doesn't know what could be done. This was bizarre. In the ER, the doctor said this wouldn't be considered an allergic reaction. Caller wonders what this was considered then. The ER doctors thing was that this didn't happen in first 15 to 30 minutes of receiving the vaccine, and that would be considered an allergic reaction if it did. She wants to know if this was an allergic reaction. Enquired was this allergic reaction. The adverse events resulted in emergency room/department or urgent care. She has no results for the tests that were performed at the ER, she was just told the chest X-ray was normal and so was the blood work, but she doesn't know what the blood work involved. They were looking for blood clots at the ER. She was not admitted into the hospital, she was sent home the same day. She has had no positive COVID test prior to the vaccine. She also has had no symptoms, and therefore no reason to get tested either. On 01Feb2021, the patient underwent lab tests and procedure which included chest X-ray: Normal, pulse rapid: 177 (at 12:25 PM), pulse rapid: 163 (at 12:30 PM), blood pressure: 167/93 (at 12:30 PM), pulse rapid: 116 (at 12:40 PM), blood pressure: 144/95 (at 12:40 PM). On an unspecified date in Feb2021, the patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood work: Unknown results (the doctor was also going to see what the blood work from the ER yesterday looks like. They were looking for blood clots at the ER), EKG: Unknown results, EKG: Unknown results, Echocardiogram: Unknown results. The patient was treated with IV for the adverse events. The outcome of the events she couldn't catch her breath, her heart was pounding was unknown and not recovered for the other events.
