While still seated almost immediately after vaccination, arm felt tingling and pain and tingling shot up through the hand into head.  Fuzzy feeling, couldn't communicate well, tried to talk. Hands started and legs started to shake. Went completely limp and passed out in chair. Approximately 5 minutes out? Came back to consciousness and was thirsty, headache, loss of color,  didn't know that she lost consciousness. We gave her Benadryl as soon as she was able to take it after the reaction. Arm felt huge but did not seem to show any swelling. We had her lie down on bench for approximately 20 minutes and she felt better, color started to come back. Whole arm felt "blown up" like a balloon for a couple hours. She felt tired and has the chills on and off  as of today's date (06/02/2023).

Patient received the vaccine and upon standing fainted. She came to in about 30-45 seconds. EMS was called, pt was monitored for 45 minutes and released.
Received vaccine at 4:10pm on Thursday 4/8/21. 2 hours later, at 6:15pm, I noticed mild tongue swelling which slowly continued to worsen. I pulled out my Epipen but was not having any difficulties breathing and my tongue was only mildly swollen still, so I took Zyrtec at 8pm (which I usually do), and continued to monitor. Zyrtec seemed to slow the progression of tongue swelling slightly but at 10pm, I started having a dry cough and wheezing. I took Albuterol and Benadryl and that worked to stop the tongue swelling. Please note, the reason I don?t use Epi immediately is because I have Reynaud?s and it is contraindicated. So I use other rescue meds first if I can. My O2 sats remained above 95%, so I was not in full anaphylaxis. I did not eat anything or come in contact with anything within those 2 hours that would have caused the allergic reaction, so I am positive it was the vaccine. I also have a red, raised itchy bump at the site.
