I got my second Pfizer vaccine on 9/16/2021. On 9/18/2021 at 5:00 PM, I suddenly felt like someone was sitting on top of my head, and it was the worst pain I have ever felt. The person I was talking to on the phone told me I was slurring my words, so I put them on hold and called my work supervisor. My supervisor sent me home early from work, because I couldn't even remember what I was saying to him as I was talking. I couldn't drive, so I called my son to pick me up and take me home. The next morning when I woke up, I still had the headache and felt dizzy and lightheaded. I called Ask a Nurse, and I was advised to go to an urgent care clinic with an MRI; I was also advised not to drive. My husband drove me to an urgent care clinic, but their MRI machine was down. My husband then drove me to Medical Center, where they did an echocardiogram and a CT scan of my brain and admitted me. My doctor told me that they were looking for a possible aneurysm and that I would need to undergo an MRI with contrast and a spinal tap. He also said that it would take 3-4 days to get all the necessary tests done, but since there is a hospital bed shortage and I am immunocompromised, I told him I preferred to do it on an outpatient basis. I then went home. On 9/23/2021, I saw a Dr. who referred me to a neurologist; I am still awaiting a call for an appointment with the neurologist. I still have the headache, but it isn't as severe as before, though it feels like there is something on the back of my head that I keep trying to brush away.
