I had my 2nd Covid Vaccine Booster (Pfizer) in my left arm on the afternoon of the 20th. The next morning I had a sudden sharp stabbing pain that went right through my chest and radiated to my left side and then back. The pain level was at a 10 and I was rushed to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. The EKG was normal so I hate to wait for 2 hours to get back and receive pain medication. The doctor ordered blood work and did a chest x-ray which didn't show anything. I was sent home and told my body was more than likely having an inflammatory response to the vaccine. The next 3 days the pain and chest tightness continued and on a scale of 1-10 my pain continued to be at a 5-6. I continued to alternate between Ibuprofen and Tylenol to alleviate the pain. It really didn't help much. I was prescribed clonazepam and it helped some with the chest tightness. On the 4th day after the ER visit, I went to see my regular physician, at Medical Center. He prescribed me two weeks worth of Prednisone for inflammation. I felt better while on the Prednisone and my pain was tolerable. Within 48 hours after finishing the prescription of Prednisone my chest tightness, breast, and upper middle back slowly crept up from a 2 to a 5. All of the pain and tightness has been confined to the left upper body thorax region. There has been pain in left arm where the vaccine was administered. Four days after finishing the Prednisone I was back at the ER with chest tightness and upper back pain. The ER physician immediately ordered a CT SCAN with/and without contrast. He also ordered blood work. The CT scan came back normal as well as the EKG. The doctor prescribed me another 5 days of steroids and Percocet. I left the ER yesterday and started on the steroids today. My pain level is a 5-6 and the chest tightness continues. I believe all of my pain and suffering has been caused by my 4th Pfizer shot. I'm 51 years old. I'm reporting this on July 17th. It's been over 3 1/2 weeks since my vaccine.
