Clinical narrative: I have been sick; couldn't eat anything down; lost consciousness; Trigeminal neuralgia attack; Trigeminal neuralgia attack; massive vertigo attack; eye was so swollen; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). This 60-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) via an unspecified route of administration on 09Apr2021 (at the age of 60-year-old) (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included trigeminal neuralgia, head injury, pulmonary problems, severe migraine and tumor in lymph node. Concomitant medications were not reported. On 09Apr2021, the patient lost consciousness; in Apr2021, she experienced trigeminal neuralgia attack, massive vertigo attack and eye was so swollen; on an unspecified date she experienced also sickness and couldn't eat anything down. The patient specified that right after she got the injection, they make you to sit there for 15 minutes to see. She lost consciousness, it was like they gave her a shot before you go on for surgery and the doctor had come over, they had to wake her up. She didn't know what happened, so that was the first thing and the doctor said that's out of all the 1000's of people they vaccinated she was the first one that passed out right after the injection. So, she thought may be that should be noted somewhere and she didn't get a headache that she has a condition called Trigeminal neuralgia which was extremely painful and it's like only 3% of the population get it and it's usually caused after major head injury, was the very next day her shot was on the Friday and then Saturday the pain was terrific and she had the trigeminal pain for a week, took a week to go away and then right after that the next week she had a massive vertigo attack. And she really didn't know all these things or side effects from her head injury. But her conditions are pretty rare, you only get them if you've got massive concussions and fractured skull and stuff like that which happened a long time ago. So she didn't know if the shot had anything to do with it. She has pulmonary problems so she was getting it no matter what because she can't go anywhere hery Pulmonologist won't let her leave the house unless she has to go to a doctor or an emergency room. And she did go to the emergency room because her pain medication wasn't working at all (Unspecified medication). She used to have migraine but after the head injury the migraine went away which she was very happy because she had severe migraine. What she didn't know was this Trigeminal neuralgia the nerve pain. The consumer further specified that she was so happy with the vaccine and she mean she doesn't care what the normal side effects are, she didn't have any other side effects her arm never hurts, she never had any fatigue or headache but she didn't know it was odd, the very morning she woke up Saturday she was in excruciating pain, its nerve pain that went down to the jaw, right under her eye and over the forehead and it's the most extremely painful thing that people get. She takes medication (Unspecified medication) daily to try to control it but sometime the pain is really really bad. She had been sick for the 3 weeks, she did not think anything had to do with the vaccine except the trigeminal. But it could have caused a massive vertigo attack which lasted 8 or 9 days. Today was the first day she was eating food in a week because she couldn't eat anything down. The patient was on a lot of steroids, she was reducing but she was still very plump so she thinks it's about 270 pounds right now. At the time of the report, the outcome of the events was unknown.  The information on the batch number has been requested.
