Patient had the normal expected symptoms on the 2nd day following his shot ... with sore arm, fever to 101, fatigue & slight headache. He refused to take Tylenol that day, unlike his 14 year sister who had the same symptoms. On Sunday morning (the 3rd day) he woke up & told us he was having chest pain & shortness of breath. His sister was doing fine. So I gave him Tylenol at 10am to try to reduce any inflammation & he still had a fever of 100. About an hour later his fever had reduced to 99 but he was still having slight chest pain & shortness of breath ... mainly if he walked or moved around. He didn?t want to get it checked out but I called our insurance & they agreed that he should go to the ER for testing so we went there at around 3pm. He had testing done including EKG, chest X-ray & COVID-19 test which all came back negative & other lab tests that also came back negative. They gave him some meds & about 2 1/2 hours later diagnosed him with pleurisy. He still was having slight chest pain & shortness of breath when we left at 5:30pm but throughout the evening was getting better. We gave him Motrin before bed & another Motrin this morning before school, even though he said he was feeling better.

4 days after 2nd dose of vaccine patient had onset of shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitations. He did not tell his parents so evaluation was delayed. Shortness of breath and chest pain self resolved. He presented ~2 months later with persistent palpitations and was found to have a new diagnosis of frequent ventricular ectopic beats. 2 months post vaccination his inflammatory markers and troponin were negative and his echocardiogram showed normal ventricular function. However, the clinical history suggests the possibility of post-vaccine myocarditis. I am not positive whether he received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine but I believe it was Pfizer. I am also not 100% positive about the date of vaccination.

The day following the second Pfizer shot the patient developed a fever to 101.5 that improved with Tylenol and did not recur. On that same day he felt tingling in the hands and feet and reported a floating sensation. This too resolved with resolution of fever. On the third day after the shot he developed chest pain, difficulty taking a deep breath. He woke up the following morning with nausea which resolved but the chest pain and a feeling that it was hard to take a deep breath worsened. The pain was significant enough that he went to the ER. In the ER, he was found to have an ECG consistent with acute pericarditis and his troponin was elevated (2.75, upper limits of normal 0.03). He was started on IV Toradol and admitted to the hospital. His troponin kept climbing so he was also given IVIG (80 gm). The following morning his Troponin started coming down and he no longer was reporting any symptoms.

Patient is a 16-year-old boy with no significant past medical history presents to the emergency department with concerns for chest pain and shortness of breath. Patient had his second dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine 3 days ago. Initially after the dose he did experience some myalgias, fatigue, and a sore throat. The symptoms lasted overnight and into the following day. They then remitted. Yesterday, patient was feeling well in the morning, however, in the evening he began to experience significant shortness of breath. This shortness of breath along with some anterior throat and upper chest discomfort with deep respirations. He denied any associated nausea, vomiting, or sweating. With these symptoms he went to hospital. There he was evaluated and a chest x-ray was performed. Patient's chest x-ray did not show any concerning findings. Patient was discharged in stable condition with albuterol and encouraged to follow-up with his primary care physician. Today, patient's shortness of breath and chest pain returned. He states that it is in the center of her chest with occasional radiation to his jaw. He denies any associated nausea, vomiting, or diaphoresis. His pain was initially severe in route to the emergency department, however, it has lessened and is now 4 out of 10 in severity. Patient otherwise denies any other fevers, lightheadedness, change in vision, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, or dysuria. Medical Decision Making: Pt presented for chest pain. EKG was given to me shortly after obtaining it. This showed ST elevation inferiorly and laterally with possible reciprocal change in I, aVL & V1. Troponin was markedly elevated. I discussed case with our interventional cardiologist initially who wanted to take pt to the cath lab. However, pt is a minor and he noted that he couldn't cath a minor. This decision was made after the patient was already in the cath lab. Therefore, I contacted Hospital and discussed this case with the on call cardiologist. He recommended pt be tranferred to the ED where they will evaluate him and possibly do an echo of his heart. I discussed this with the ED physician at hospital who agreed to see pt. He was then tranferred via ambulance for further care.

Within 1-2 minutes my son passed out and started violently shaking/convulsing. His chin was pinned to his chest, he struggled to breath and was making a sound as if he was loudly snoring but seemed to be struggling to breathe. I was unable to wake him. I'm not sure how long it lasted but maybe 2 minutes or so. He woke up and asked what was going on as we had all been standing over him trying to unsuccessfully wake him. He shared that he thought he'd been asleep and had been dreaming. He also shared that his throat hurt very much. He had the shakes for about 30 minutes after and was extremely exhausted. He slept for 14 hours as soon as we arrived home.

He did improve a little bit 2 days ago but then started to feel worse yesterday and had a worsening cough that is resulting in some chest tightness. Cough is productive sounding. Mom describes it as barking. No appreciable wheezing but he sounds hoarse. He has some SOB after coughing repeatedly. He states it simply feels like it is hard to breathe for 10-20minutes after a coughing attack but then it resolves. He developed sweating yesterday as well. He states he will just start sweating for no reason. No measured fever. No chills. Today he has dried skin and cracked lips from blowing/wiping his nose all the time. No fevers. No vomiting.

Intense headaches the day after taking the shot, back pain from the waist up. 2 days later I woke up with chest pain and the lingering headache, my chest feels heavy and maybe shortness of breath. I did a bunch of research however I did not find anything about chest pain related to the second dose of Pfizer. I am not sure if it is some type of tissue or muscle pain or something more serious. When I massage my chest it does not ache like the muscle pain from my shoulder so id assume it has to do with maybe my lungs or heart.

Fevers continued, and he was admitted the evening of 5/10 with concern for myocarditis. See below for hospital course. Additional information for Item 18: ...Screening labs were notable for mild lymphopenia, hyperbilirubinemia, hepatitis, and elevated inflammatory markers. Given prior COVID infection, rash, and systemic inflammation, additional studies including troponin, D-dimer, BNP, and EKG were obtained. EKG was reassuringly normal, however the D-dimer (2.48), troponin (1.27), and BNP (469) were elevated. Other work-up included chest x-ray which was unremarkable, and right upper quadrant ultrasound with incidental cavernous hemangioma of the liver. He was started on milrinone (5/11-5/12) after initial TTE was concerning for severely diminished LV function. Follow-up TTE 12 hours later was normal (on milrinone), and remained so after milrinone was discontinued 5/12. Follow-up TTE after discontinuation remained normal. Cardiac MRI was completed 5/14, although read remains pending. He received IVIG on 5/11, and was started on methylpred 50 mg IV BID, Anakinra 100 mg SQ BID 5/14, and transitioned to prednisone 30 mg PO BID with clinical improvement, down-trending troponin and systemic inflammatory labs. Subsequent CBCs have been notable for rising leukocytosis (5/16 WBC 56.3) and thrombocytosis (5/16 plts 690) and 4+ spherocytes (with no known personal or prior history of spherocytosis). He will likely be discharged 5/17. Infectious evaluation was unrevealing including cultures and viral studies. COVID spike and nucleocapsid antibodies were sent, but remain pending. Pt. initial COVID-19 infection was diagnosed October 2020, with positive saliva PCR testing. He was symptomatic for 3-5 days.

Mildly tachycardic but otherwise hemodynamically stable. Given tylenol for pain. Cardiology recommended admission for trending troponins, echo and cardiac monitoring. CV: Troponins were trended every 12 hours with a max of 4.91. His last troponin checked on the morning of discharge was 0.41. He had an echo that showed normal cardiac function, an MRI that indicated normal ventricular size and function, with minimal or healing and inflammation or mild myocarditis. During his admission, he had continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring, that did not show any arrhythmias. Resp: On 2L NC for comfort, no respiratory distress or hypoxia. FENGI: Regular diet Neuro: Ibuprofen scheduled and tylenol PRN for pain. He was initially started on ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours, but was starting to have pain prior to being due for medicine every 8 hours so his regimen was changed to 600 mg every 6 hours which controlled his pain adequately. ID: Myocarditis panel sent with some results still pending. Thus far, he is CMV negative, EBV IgG was positive but not IgM. RVP was negative. This all occurred in the setting receiving the Covid vaccine 3 days prior to presentation, which has been reported as a rare reaction to the Covid vaccine. At the time of discharge, labs pending results include mycoplasma pneumonia, coxsackie, parvovirus, enterovirus. Etiology of myocarditis remains unclear at this time, could be related to infectious etiology not yet clear to us, vs related to his COVID vaccine prior to admission.

Thursday started with sore throat, fever, chills, stuffy nose and headache. We gave him Acetaminophen. Fever continued into Friday with the same symptoms. Hives began Saturday morning and gradually got worse. We gave him Benadryl at that time and the fever went up to 102.5 F. Wheezing in his chest began. Sunday morning the hives were worse and we decided to go to the doctor. We went to a walk in clinic who after an EKG wanted us to go to the Emergency room due to a "blip" and a concern for myocarditis. At the ER they administered Prednisone and more Benadryl through an IV. They decided to do a CT Scan to look for blood clots. (the ER doctor mentioned he was glad that we brought him into the ER...) No blood clots were found thankfully and they eventually released him, with a prescription for 4 days for Prednisone, more Benadryl and Pepcid. The hives continue today, the day after, and are barely under control by the Benadryl.

PT is a 17 y/o previously healthy boy who presents with 3 days of moderate-severe, substernal chest pain, dyspnea, and nausea 2 days after receiving the 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. On Tuesday (7/6), PT received the second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The following day (Wednesday 7/7) PT had "flu-like symptoms" with chills, subjective fever, and a sore arm that resolved by Thursday (7/8). He was back to his baseline state of health on Thursday (7/8) and felt fine that whole day. On Friday afternoon (7/9) when he was at work washing dishes where he had some physical exertion he began to notice at 16:30-17:00 that he developed substernal, sharp, 7/10 chest pain that did not radiate, improve/worsen with deep breaths, sitting up, laying down or with movement of his upper extremities. It worsened towards the end of the night and peaked at 8/10 by 22:00-23:00 that same evening. His sister picked him up from work per his regular routine and he went home and took a shower which improved the pain to a 5-6/10 when he went to sleep. He woke up at 3 AM on Saturday (7/10) AM and had one episode of NBNB emesis associated with the chest pain. When he woke up later that morning he felt improved until 10-12 AM he developed mild chest pain again which he took Tums for. He also tried Motrin which did not help his pain at all. On the morning of admission (7/11), he woke up at 6-7 AM with upper right back pain, dyspnea, and nausea along with the persistent chest pain which prompted him to present to MFSH. He does endorse mild sore throat but denies any fevers, recent sick contacts, known COVID-19 exposure or previous history of COVID-19. There is a family history of cardiac disease including a fatal MI in his father. His mother's family also has a history of heart disease and both sides have a history of high cholesterol. He did add Whey Protein recently to his diet to for muscle building, but he DENIES any drug, alcohol, tobacco, vaping, marijuana, THC use. He does not play any sports regularly.

**Please note - we do not have access to the immunization registry and cannot provide lot numbers or exact dates** Admission Date/Time: 07/18/2021 18:23:00 Discharge Date/Time: 07/21/2021 12:53:15 Chief Complaint COVID vaccine myocarditis Patient Narrative ILLNESS SEVERITY: The patient is returning to baseline, requires assessment. PATIENT SUMMARY: Reason for Hospitalization: Chest pain Admission HPI: a 17 year old young man with a remote history of asthma (last used inhaler 5-6 years ago) who is presenting with 1 day chest pain in the setting of recent Pfizer Covid vaccination. He received his second Pfizer vaccine dose 3 days ago. The following day, he experienced low grade fever to 100.4 and mild headache. He felt fine yesterday, but this morning he woke up with dyspnea and feeling like he "couldn't get air in all the way". He denied feeling chest pressure but endorsed mid sternal chest pain without radiation. The pain was not exacerbated by exercise and was not positional. He presented to an urgent care facility this morning, where they did an EKG that showed ST segment elevations diffusely. He was then transferred to Hospital. he was overall well appearing with slight tachypnea but otherwise normal vital signs. He initially was not endorsing chest pain. They drew a troponin that was elevated to 1515 ng/L with an upper limit of normal 54 (likely 1.5 on our scale). BNP, electrolytes, CBC were all within normal limits. Initial EKG did not have any ST segment elevation. They did a chest XR which did not show any signs of pulmonary edema or cardiomegaly. He later developed chest pain so an EKG was repeated which showed recurrence of the ST elevations diffusely; most prominently in V1-2. Repeat troponin was 2000. He was given a single dose of aspirin 81mg and transferred for further care. In the ED, he was well appearing and no longer endorsing chest pain. He was monitored on continuous telemetry with no abnormalities. His troponin here was 0.27 ng/mL, CRP was elevated to 2.6, he had a mild transaminitis of 41/37 and mildly elevated LDH to 236. Covid antibodies were positive. CBC, ferritin, d-dimer, ESR were all within normal limits, rapid Covid/flu/RSV negative. Repeat EKG was similar to the second EKG with very minimal ST-segment elevations. He denies any URI symptoms, rashes, N/V/D, and joint pain. He's had good PO intake until today. He is an athlete (currently playing baseball) and has never experienced chest pain with exercise. Surgical hx: T&A Family history: Negative for any cardiac pathology or autoimmune disease Allergies: rash with penicillin Social: here with grandma who is legal guardian Hospital Course: admitted to the cardiology floor for continued monitoring of his troponin levels and EKG. The morning after his admission, his troponin was uptrending slightly to 0.37 and echocardiogram showed mildly depressed systolic function and longitudinal strain, so the decision was made to treat. Cardiac MRI performed prior to treatment showed good systolic function but mild LV late gadolinium enhancement and corresponding hypokinesis. He received one time IVIG 2g/kg and IV methylprednisolone 30mg BID for 2 doses. His chest pain came and went throughout his admission and was treated with ibuprofen and Tylenol as needed. He was transitioned over to PO steroids on 7/20 which he tolerated well. On day of discharge, his troponin levels were trending down. Pt was scheduled for outpatient follow up including ECHO at that time. By time of discharge, patient was well-appearing, vitals stable, demonstrating good PO intake. Chest pain was fully resolved. Prescriptions sent to preferred pharmacy. Follow up with cardiology in place. Discharge instructions and return precautions reviewed with patient and parent, who expressed good understanding and agreement with plan. Reasons for new, changed, and discontinued medications: Prednisone for myocarditis to complete 5 day steroid course (last dose morning of 7/24) Famotidine (GI protection while taking prednisone) Reasons for new, changed, and discontinued equipment: NA Relevant Diagnostic Images/Studies: Echocardiogram 7/19: ? Technically difficult examination due to suboptimal echocardiographic windows. Unable to evaluate the atrial septum, systemic and pulmonary veins, pulmonary arteries, and aortic arch. Coronary artery dilation is not excluded. ? Normal valvular function. ? Normal left ventricular size and low-normal systolic function. Reduced longitudinal strain. ? Qualitatively normal right ventricular systolic function. ? No pericardial effusion. Cardiac MRI 7/19: ? Normal left ventricular size and global systolic function. ? Basal inferoseptal, inferior, and inferolateral left ventricular late gadolinium enhancement with corresponding mild hypokinesis. ? Normal right ventricular size and global systolic function. No right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement or regional wall motion abnormalities. ? No significant valvular dysfunction. ? No coronary artery aneurysms. ? No pericardial effusion. Admission EKG 7/18: ST segment changes, non-specific. Discharge EKG: minimal ST segment changes, improved from admission.

Health Care Proxy: Under 18 years old MOLST: Under 18 years old Follow-Up and Patient Instructions Patient Instructions He was admitted for management of myocarditis thought to be due to his SARS-CoV2 vaccination. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle that can happen with many different types of infections and virusesHe received IVIG and steroids. He had multiple EKGs, echocardiograms, and a cardiac MRI which showed mild changes but overall good heart function. His chest pain and heart studies improved throughout his stay and he was safe for discharge home. He should refrain from strenuous exercise for the next couple of months and you should discuss when it is safe to return to exercise with your outpatient cardiologist. Medications: --- Prednisone 30mg twice per day for _ days (last day _) --- Famotidine 20mg twice per day for _ days (last day _) It is important to minimize activity that raises his heart rate for the next 3 months. This will be discussed in more detail at cardiology appointment. Until then, no strenuous exercise. Attending Attestation CARDIOLOGY INPATIENT ATTENDING DISCHARGE NOTE: I reviewed the history and hospital course, examined the patient on rounds, reviewed the testing, discussed the findings with the Cardiology Team, and participated directly in formulation of the assessment and plan for discharge. I have reviewed and agree with the documentation above with the following additions/revisions:17yo admitted with COVID vaccine associated myocarditis, with repolarization abnormalities on ECG, elevated troponin, and chest pain within days after receiving his 2nd dose. He remained hemodynamically stable with preserved ventricular systolic function. Echo did show abnormal strain, and MRI showed LGE with focal hypokinesis. Due to increasing troponin level, he was treated with IVIG and steroids with improvement in troponins. No significant arrhythmia. Plan for follow-up next week with MISC/vaccine myocarditis group, and to complete a 5-day course of steroids. Restricted from sports and intense activity for likely at least 3 months.

Patient presented to the emergency department early March 28, 2021 after experiencing 5-7 hours of chest pain. The chest started when the patient went to bed the evening of March 27, where he began having substernal non-radiating chest pain with inspiration. The pain was relieved by sitting upright and by taking some acetaminophen. He received his 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on March 25 (first dose was March 5). He was initially treated with ketorolac 15mg IV and given 1 liter of lactated ringer's solution via IV. His chest pain resolved after this. He was eventually given colchicine 0.6mg twice daily and ibuprofen 600mg 3 times daily due to concern for myopericarditis. He was ultimately found to have no evidence of pericarditis after undergoing a cardiac MRI, thus colchicine and ibuprofen were discontinued. Due to findings of mildly reduced ejection fraction on imaging, he was started on metoprolol XL 25mg once daily at discharge.

At time of vaccination ~5 minutes after the injection of the pfizer vaccine I developed a tightness in my throat, I was still waiting in line and I did not think much of it, therefore I did not alert the medical personnel about the reaction. Approximately @15mins after the injection I left the site and developed a sense of something wrong and did not feel "right", my chest became tight, hoarseness in my throat and speach, lightheaded, and I remember taking a sip of my coffee thinking it was more difficult to swallow than usual. May I note I was in the passenger seat and not driving the vehicle. I alerted my mother of the reaction, both sceptical because of my hx of no known allergies. We both figured as long as I can breath and I was still conscious, with no signs of cyanosis I would be fine. At around 10:45 I took my BP: which was 106/62 I typically run low. I then took two 25mg Benadryl capsules which did help the throat tightness to an extent, however the tightness in the chest, lightheaded and dizziness still persisted. I was aware of the potential for Bi-phasic anaphylaxis so we had an Epi-pen on stand by just in case. I was stable for the rest of the day. At approximately 10pm I did notice a small erythematous non-pruritic rash across my chest. The symptoms of the reaction did subside within 24hrs. I remained in stable condition and recovered with time.

heart failure; heart attack; fluid in his lungs; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's mother). A 19-year-old male patient received the first dose bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EP7534), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 25Mar2021 (received at the age of 19-years-old) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing seasonal allergies and cardiac murmur he had as an infant. When probing medical history, the consumer reported that as an infant, her son, had a heart murmur. Her son saw a heart specialist in (State) who did an ultrasound/sonogram of her son's heart. The specialist said the heart murmur was fine and nothing needed to be done. She also adds that for family medical history, she and her husband don't have any early onset heart issues in either side of their families. She also reported that her son has horrible seasonal allergies. Concomitant medication(s) included cetirizine hydrochloride (ZYRTEC [CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE]) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; triamcinolone acetonide (NASACORT) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; montelukast (MONTELUKAST) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The reporter stated that her son (patient) had a heart attack (26Mar2021) after receiving the first dose of bnt162b2. The patient also experienced heart failure on 28Mar2021 and had fluid in his lungs on Mar2021. She called regarding the COVID-19 vaccine on behalf of her 19-year-old son who received his first vaccine on 25Mar2021. Her son received his first Covid 19 vaccine at a PRIVACY where he attends college. On Friday, 26Mar2021, he was feeling crummy, on Saturday, 27Mar2021, he was feeling crummy. On Saturday night, 27Mar2021, her son started texting her around 11:30PM saying he had pain in his left shoulder and left arm. He had already taken 2 Advil and it wasn't helping with the pain, her son asked if he could take a third Advil. The reporter told her son he could take a third Advil because it had been an hour and a half since he had taken the first two Advil. The texts from her son continued. He was getting no relief. He took a hot shower and tried self-massage and warm compresses. He ended up throwing up and he said he felt a little better. Her son tried to lay down and couldn't get any relief from his pain. The pain was tremendous in his left shoulder and arm. Her son told his mother, he thinks he needs to go to the emergency department. His mother is two hours away from him and told him to call 911. Her son had a friend take him to the emergency department instead of calling 911. Her son went to PRIVACY. While at the emergency department, the doctor thought that her son's pain was muscular. Her son received an injection of Toradol. Her son was discharged from the emergency room and went back out to his friend who had brought him to the hospital. Her son and his friend didn't even make it out of the emergency department parking lot when her son suddenly couldn't see anything. His eyes were wide open and all he could see was black. His ears started ringing. Her son went back into the emergency department. Her son received Benadryl and an Epi-pen thinking maybe he was allergic to the Toradol and having a reaction to the Toradol. Her son had blood work, an EKG, and vital signs done in the emergency department on 28Mar2021. His blood work were over 3000 which the reporter reports, indicates a heart attack. The emergency room doctor did not think the Toradol would have pushed his Troponin levels that high. With her son complaining to her about the pain in his left shoulder radiating into his left arm and throwing up, those are signs of a heart attack. Her son was maybe playing off the seriousness of the pain he was experiencing. It was agreed at that point it might be her son's heart. She was about 18 minutes away from the hospital when she received a call from the hospitalist, the doctor taking care of her son. And that doctor tells her that her son is not doing well and is not responding to treatment of the bag of saline fluids. The doctor is trying to get her son's blood pressure and heart rate back up. The doctor was afraid he might have to air flight him to the PRIVACY hospital. She told the doctor she is 18 minutes away and asked if he can wait that long or does she have to turn around and drive the opposite direction to the PRIVACY. At this point her son was having a COVID-19 viral test in case he needs to be transported to the other hospital. The doctor tells her that her son can wait the 18 minutes until she gets to the hospital. She arrived at the hospital and wanted to see her son, her son is on high flow oxygen and she has to gown and glove up to be in his room for fear of Covid particles since he's on the high flow oxygen. His COVID-19 viral test results have not come back at this time. Her son was admitted to the hospital for heart failure. He was in the hospital for 5 days. He was admitted in the wee hours of the morning on 28Mar2021. During the time he was in the hospital he had chest x-rays and he was given Lasix to get the fluid off his lungs. His white blood cells were way up so he was given an antibiotic. He had an MRI, Chest X-rays, and a Heart Catheterization through his wrist that would indicate that he had blocked arteries in his heart. He had no blocked arteries. The heart catheterization revealed an artery going into his 4th heart chamber was slow to open and close. The cardiologist prescribed Metoprolol for six months with monitoring. The cardiologist feels the Metoprolol will repair his artery and get his blood pressure and heart rate numbers where they need to be. He was admitted to the hospital at around 3:00AM on 28Mar2021 and was discharged on 01Apr2021. Her son's COVID-19 viral test came back negative, but his COVID-19 antibody test showed that he did have COVID-19 antibodies. The doctor didn't know if that meant that her son had a previously undiagnosed case of the COVID-19 virus or if he developed COVID-19 antibodies that soon after he received the Covid 19 vaccine. She reported when her son was discharged, he was feeling better, but still had residual fluid at the bottom of his lungs. Her son did have to go for a chest x-ray on Tuesday, 06Apr2021, after he was discharged, to make sure the fluid was making its way out of his body. When he was discharged from the hospital, he had some shortness of breath and he was tired and weak feeling. The pain in his left arm began before he was admitted to the hospital. The shortness of breath started during his hospital admission. At this point in time she would say her son has improved. The Metoprolol he was prescribed by the cardiologist is one half of a 25mg tablet once at nighttime. She stated that she does not have any information on how low her son's blood pressure and heart rate were during his time in the hospital. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the adverse events. Outcome of the events was recovering.

Initial presentation Patient was in his usual state of good health until 4/19 when he received his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Two hours after the injection he became nauseous and vomited multiple times. Overnight he experienced diffuse myalgia and suprapubic pain. He awoke the next day to a pustular rash on his chin, forehead, chest and back. The patient describes similar previous rashes that have resolved spontaneously. The next day he began to experience gross hematuria and presented to the ED with a temperature of 98.9, blood pressure of 100/69mmHg, heart rate of 110bpm, respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute and an O2 saturation of 97% on room air. On examination, patient was ill-appearing with diffuse pustules on his face, chest and back, periorbital edema, and leukoplakia of the tongue and buccal mucosa. His abdomen was soft and tender to palpation in the suprapubic area and at both costovertebral angles. Hospital course In the ED the patient was found to have a metabolic acidosis of pH 7.33 with an anion gap of 16, lactate 2.6, neutrophilic leukocytosis (22k), acute renal insufficiency with a BUN of 45 and creatinine 3.81 (baseline is 0.76). The patient?s urine demonstrated packed RBCs and 5-10 WBCs. He was admitted to the medicine service for further management. On the medicine floor he was initially found to have rhabdomyolysis (CK 584), worsening renal failure (Creatinine 8), follicular conjunctivitis by skin biopsy, a low CD3/CD4 count (CD4 91, CD3 47, CD8 258) with normal complement, and bilateral tinnitus. CT A/P without contrast showed increased attenuation of renal pelves and ureters consistent with hemorrhage, but no renal stones or hydronephrosis was seen. The patient was treated with pulse dose 500mg IV Methylprednisilone for 3 days and then transitioned to 60mg Prednisone. The patient?s pustular rash and oral leukoplakia greatly improved while on pulse dose steroids, but his kidney function continued to decline (Creatinine rising from 8 to 11), and the patient?s bilateral tinnitus progressed to bilateral sensorineural deafness over 2 days. Bilateral hearing loss prompted an MRI of the brain which identified several punctate infarcts across multiple vascular territories in bilateral cortices and left cerebellum. The patient?s kidney function has continued to decline, with progressive hyperkalemia and hemodialysis was begun.

I have had severe shortness of breath and breathlessness, chest pain, heart racing, heart fluttering, heart pounding, chest tightness, nausea, extreme fatigue, coughing, headache. I have no stamina at all, just slight exertion causes my heart to start racing and pounding, I can't climb stairs and I haven't been able to work in weeks, now I'm probably going to lose my job I fear and then will have no health insurance. I have more tests this week to try and find out if I have endocarditis, so I am racking up all kinds of bills. So far no one believes me or will help me! ALL of this started within a few days of the second Pfizer dose of COVID vaccine. Biggest mistake of my life. I feel like I'm dying and no one will help. You are literally killing me.

Pt reported reaction with #1 dose of mild SOB and itchy throat. Given PO Benadryl and brought to ED for his SOB, though no additional treatments administered. Both ED Physician and PCP advised pt should still receive #2 dose. Pt presented prior to dose with normal mentation, and no difficulty ambulating or verbalizing beyond baseline. Pt had no issues when receiving vaccine then called over staff 2-3 minutes after vaccination to report SOB. EMS notified and staff. EMT and staff. EMR came to assist patient. Clinical Lead notified of 1st dose reaction and current reaction after SOB onset began and EMS brought over. Pt provided PO Benadryl 5 minutes after vaccine administered and able to swallow with no issue. I, Clinical Lead, remained at patient side where patient was able to describe his pain but had dyspnea and only able to get out 2-3 words at a time. After a few minutes, pt SOB worsened to the point he was unable to speak but no color changes noted. Mentation declined with pt somnolence present. At this point, Clinical Lead called 911 for backup as Benadryl had no relief of symptoms and SOB worsened along with mentation. Also noted that EMS pulse ox was not working so unable to provide accurate O2 saturation to delineate whether reaction was anxiety or allergic. Pt also noted history of seizure disorder though declined feeling was a current seizure and denied history of respiratory or cardiac conditions. Paramedics felt pt needed transport to the hospital and report provided by Clinical lead.

The side effects didn't all occur simultaneously. Friday evening I noticed severe arm soreness. Later Friday night (about 10 hours after getting the vaccine) I developed gradual onset chills, body aches, and fatigue. Saturday I woke up with a severe headache, body aches, fatigue, and fever. The headache became severe by mid-day, with fatigue also worsening throughout the day. Sunday was more of the same, though I believe the fever started inching down and the headache lessened. What developed Sunday afternoon/evening took me off guard though. I noticed a sudden drop in heart rate, a feeling of pressure and discomfort in the chest, nausea, and shortness of breath with exertion (consistently - not just once). (I'm a long-distance runner, so this is unusual for me.) At first I debated going to the emergency room, but since I'm so young and in otherwise good condition I thought nothing of it. I had similar symptoms the following day, but I avoided exerting myself until all of my symptoms from the vaccine had ended. I felt groggy and fatigued for several additional days, but by Saturday (8 days after getting the first dose of Pfizer) everything had resolved. I also developed swollen lymph nodes, which returned to normal size within about 3 weeks (before swelling again after the second vaccine). The second dose of the vaccine caused a more sudden and intense reaction, though I never developed chest pain/slow heart rate with it. Instead I developed sudden onset severe chills, fatigue, and body aches about 9 hours after getting the shot. A fast heart rate, shortness of breath, and sudden onset fever (temperature jumped nearly five degrees in about 90 minutes) quickly followed. My fever stabilized around 102.2 around 3 a.m. that morning, and slowly crept down throughout the afternoon/evening. Overall, with dizziness, body aches, extreme fatigue, etc., this was the sickest I've been since I had a severe case of the Flu in high school. The fatigue, shortness of breath, and fast heart rate continued for about a week - getting slightly better each day.

I got my shot on a Friday afternoon. The following Tuesday afternoon, I was out running sprints with a friend. After a couple, I felt super winded, like I was gonna pass out. This was concerning since I run at least 30 miles a week. Early the next morning, I woke up with my heart racing and shortness of breath. This persisted for a couple of hours. I woke up with a stiff chest, pain and aches around my body, and struggling to breathe. I went to urgent care and they did an EKG on me that came out abnormal. They referred me to a cardiologist where I got an appointment the next day. The cardiologist runs another ekg this time it?s worse. She sends me straight to the ER. They run a bunch of tests but nothing is conclusive. I?m released the next evening. The following Monday I had a checkup with my cardiologist and she referred me to someone she knows at a HCF. My appointment is not until the end of June

My first dose of the pfizer vaccine was relatively asymptomatic. Received at local hospital. Sore arm that lasted a few hours, nothing too concerning. This adverse event describes my second dose however, received Jan 23, 2020, approximately 3 weeks after the first. Again, this was received at local hospital. The next day, I felt the expected side effects of terrible chills, whole-body myalgia, and a slight fever. Again, I was not too worried as this was expected. I could not sleep that night, but otherwise, I felt significantly better in the morning. Unfortunately, on Jan 25, 2 days after the second dose, I began to feel a strange tingling sensation in my forearms, and a pain in my lower back. This paresthesia felt as if the insides of my arms were vibrating, and rather than a "pins and needles" sensation, I felt electric shocks through my forearms and extremely discomforting tingles. I could not bend forward without terrible shocks through my arms, and my back pain can only be described as aching. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my doctor for Monday afternoon, That entire Sunday, it felt as if the tingling sensation, rated at 7/10 discomfort, grew to 10/10. I physically was wincing and turning, unable to find any position where my arms were not experiencing electric vibrations. My back pain, which was tender to touch, and if I pressed hard enough on it or laid on my back, caused the same electric sensation not just in the forearms but the entirety of my upper torso and my arm. Taking deep breaths was painful, as it elicited the same discomforting paresthesia. At the time, I was one of the first groups taking the pfizer shots, and it was still unclear if taking NSAIDs was a good idea to alleviate pains and the suppress the immune response. I agonized that entire Sunday and through Monday morning, the shocking expanding from just the forearms to the shoulders around the deltoid, and the back pain soon covered my entire upper torso. For whatever reason, waist-down I was completely fine. Even bending forward only elicited the pain upwards, nothing ever went down my legs. I had slight neck stiffness, a throbbing headache, intense back aches, bilateral upper extremity paresthesia, and pain on deep inspiration at the height of my pain on Monday morning. By this point, the pain had kept me awake for almost 30 hours. When I finally could see my doctor via telehealth appointment, he prescribed me 800 mg ibuprofen to be taken every 6-8 hours I believe. After taking the ibuprofen, the pain lessened significantly, going from 10/10 to 2/10. I was finally able to go to sleep sitting up straight on a sofa chair. The paresthesia was gone, the pain on deep inspiration was gone, but the tenderness and dull ache in the lower back seemed to stay even on the ibuprofen. I noticed that if I laid down on my back to try and sleep, even with the medicine in full effect, the electric shooting and paresthesia would immediately return. If I quickly removed pressure from that area, it went away. The ibuprofen's effect lasted only about 5 hours. I would take another as it slowly crawled back up to 4/10 pain or if the paresthesia was returning. Over the course of an entire week, I constantly needed to be on ibuprofen. By Friday, so almost 6 days after the shot, the paresthesia and back pain could be completely suppressed by the ibuprofen and I was able to lay on my back with no problems. Without medicine, I was sitting at a dull 3-10 back pain, but the paresthesia was gone. The back pain finally vanished on Sunday, 8 days after the shot, and I no longer needed ibuprofen. No fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, radiation of electrical pain down the leg, vision change, or loss of bowel/urinary control throughout the course of these symptoms. My experience reported to my primary care doctor, via our health messages. I did not return any contact to hospital or my vaccination site.

I am healthy 23 year old male. I have never suffered from any sort of illness or conditions. After massive push by the goverment and incentivization to take the New Covid-19 Vaccines deemed safe , I went ahead and received the Pfizer shot on 05/24/2021. A day after I felt headache and dizziness. This stopped on the third day. Later I would have episodes of blurred vision. That stopped. But what has really affected me and continues to affect me , is that a week after I have developed major difficulty breathing. I never , ever not even once in my life have suffered from breathing problems. It all started on an afternoon a week after the shot randomly with really fast heart palpitations and after those palpitations stopped I was choking, I could not breathe at all. After this , I am having trouble breathing normally or getting enough air in along with tightness in the chest area. For instance, I struggle with two breaths and then the third I will likely get more air in. I have felt incredible tightness in my chest. There has been nights where I cannot sleep because I am unable to breathe , and feel like I am choking. So , I need to get up and walk around the house to catch my breath. I am having shortness of breath and my breathing is not like it used to be. I do not have any fever or any other symptoms , the persisting problem is the tightness and difficulty breathing. I already went to the Pulmonary doctor a couple days ago and underwent testing that are pending. I do not understand why this happened to me , I am not sure if it is a coincidence or if there is a relation between me having taken that Pfizer shot . But prior to taking that vaccine I never once had trouble with my breathing and never felt tightness around my chest. This is new to me and it scares me to think this might stay with me forever, whatever it is. I pray it goes away. I am still having trouble . and the fact that in the past I never thought about my breathing because it was normal, and now it is a constant issue throughout the day, moments when I can get air and others when it is very difficult. I am reporting this to leave a record of this incident because prior to me taking this vaccine , I was in fact a fully healthy person free of any sort of health issues.

A hot shower helped relieve the initial discomfort, and I took 1g of APAP ~45 minutes after waking up. I then reported to work, which is an ambulatory care clinic that is working a drive-up clinic.

The cold did not bother me for the first two hours as I was able to return to a warm area between patients; however, as work became busy, I spent more time outside. The aches/discomfort in my joints progressively worsened as well as the general bodily fatigue. I took another 500mg of APAP, but it did not help much more. Eventually, the cold and body fatigue made breathing uncomfortable, and my breathing became slightly labored.

I returned home at approximately 1630, took another 1g of APAP, and proceeded to sleep from ~1730 until 0530 the next morning. I woke up feeling much better.

MYOCARDITIS. I experienced extreme chest pain, tightness, shortness of breath, painful heart beats, I could feel each beat. I hunched over in my bed groom grabbing my abdomen and fell onto my bed and almost passed out from whack I?d assume is lack of oxygen. I could barely breathe for about five minutes and felt relatively severe pain particularly in the right side of my chest. I could feel every muscle, tendon, and artery inflamed, enlarged, and hurting. My chest felt like it filled up with a balloon. Heart rate went up too. I have NEVER EVER felt ANYTHING like this in my LIFE. Not even close. It was a brand new sensation to me first time I?ve ever felt anything like this at all, and very intense and frustrating. Keeping in mind I am in perfect health. I am a body builder with a perfect physique. I work at a high end restaurant and have an extremely good diet. I have a normal sleep and sexual routine, I don?t use any medications whatsoever even Tylenol or ibuprofen. I have no pre existing conditions. I have no history of heart or cardio problems. My family has a history of low blood pressure. I have next to no stress or anxiety in my life. I am 24 years old I work out and run miles, five to six days a week. I don?t use nicotine, tobacco, and I haven?t had a drink of alcohol in ten years (14yrs old). I smoke marijuana on a daily basis. After about ten minutes the incident went down and I was able to breathe a little better but still had pain and tightness in my chest. I have had shortness of breath ever since. This is being written the day after the event about 26 hours later. I ran a mile last night and went to the gym it seemed to help both my breathing and the pain and tightness but it has not fully gone away. I feel my heart straining somehow as I am typing this. One thing to note is I did not want to get vaccinated but was pressured to do so, and before getting it I was very nervous and honestly upset. The woman administering it was not helpful at all and actually mocked my unsureness and was very rude and unprofessional. She didn?t answer any technical questions I had. During my interaction with her between my nerves and her behavior I?m absolutely certain my heart rate was elevated at the time of getting the shot. I have only had one shot. The episode of myocarditis occurred two weeks after my first shot. Two days after my scheduled second shot, which I missed because of work and was going to reschedule before this occurred. I am not going to be getting the second shot. Will be following up with my primary care doctor as soon as possible. Haven?t had time.

I believe these symptoms are consistent with the reports of myocarditis; Headache; Shortness of breath; Chest tightness all sustained between 12-24 hours after receiving 2nd dose; This is a spontaneous report from a non-contactable consumer, the patient. A 24-years-old male patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: EWO198), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 05Jul2021 at 20:15 (at the age of 24-years-old) as single dose for covid-19 immunization. Facility type vaccine was Pharmacy or Drug Store. Medical history included known allergies to Penicillin from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, covid-19 from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing (If covid prior vaccination: Yes). There were no concomitant medications. Historical vaccine included previously received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 14Jun2021 at 20:15 (at the age of 24-years-old) (Batch/Lot Number: EWO181) as single dose for covid-19 immunization and did not experience any adverse reaction. No other vaccine administered in four weeks. Adverse event description stated by patient as on 06Jul2021 at 08:00 was headache, shortness of breath, and chest tightness all sustained between 12-24 hours after receiving 2nd dose. Took 2 Tylenol 24hrs after 2nd dose, symptoms dissipated, reappeared next morning, albeit reduced severity. I believe these symptoms are consistent with the reports of myocarditis (though the symptoms are admittedly nondescript) experienced by others in my demographic group following the 2nd dose. Patient was tested covid post vaccination. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included Nasal Swab test on 07Jul2021 with unknown result. The patient received treatment for the events. The outcome of the events was recovering. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

Chest was painful, after the first vaccine; Breath was hard, and it was painful, after the first vaccine; Breath was hard, and it was painful, after the first vaccine; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 24-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 20May2021 (at the age of 24-years-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation.

chest pain; has been running out of breath pretty easily, and is pretty fatigued; has been running out of breath pretty easily, and is pretty fatigued; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 24-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 28Jun2021 (Lot Number: EW0164) at 24 years old as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history was not reported. Concomitant medications included unspecified vitamin type. The patient had experienced chest pain on Jun2021. When the chest pain started, he had kind of a very sort of dull and not severe pain. It started within a day or two of the vaccine dose. He had that for a little bit, then it went away, then it came back a couple days ago. He started yesterday, which has happened only twice, to have a sharp pain that ripples across the left side of his chest that lasts for 5-10 seconds and was painful enough for him to stop what he was doing, and it came without warning then went away on its own. He had been running out of breath pretty easily, and was pretty fatigued. He went to urgent care today, and they didn't know what wrong with him, and if it got worse, to go to the emergency room. When he first got the pain in the middle of his chest he went to the chiropractor because he thought he might have a rib out, which indeed it did go away for a while. He didn't know if it could have anything to do with his left side though, the middle of chest, because it seems like two completely different things. He did take Naproxen sodium and the pain went down a bit, he took one last night and the pain went away for a bit. He says that this is an off brand of what might be known as Naprosyn. The dose is 220mg (EXP: Aug2022). He took one liquid gel type capsule by mouth, and his pain was reduced. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included COVID-19 molecular test: negative on 16Jul2021. The outcome was unknown.

Severe apneic episodes with sleep. I have no history of sleep apnea, BMI of 24, exercise regularly, no known snoring. The night after my first dose at around 23:00 while falling asleep I shortly after having been asleep would wake up gasping for air. Attempting to fall back asleep I felt the need to consciously make myself breathe, and when I would fall asleep no more than 5-10 after I would wake up gasping for air. This continued on until around close to 03:00 on 1/7/21. When I finally fell asleep around 03:00 woke up gasping for air around 04:45 and never fell back asleep. The next two nights, 1/7/21 and 1/8/21 I would have trouble falling asleep because these same apneic episodes were happening until around 03:00. The night of 1/9/21 I had no issues sleeping, and have had no apnea since those three nights. These apneic episodes were followed by extreme anxiety from being unable to sleep fully (I worried moreso about not falling asleep than the apnea). Heart rate when counted ranged for 70s-80s and my normal HR while sleeping is around low 50s.

Patient developed sudden onset of fevers and malaise on 5/7/21 (26 days after his 2nd Pfizer COVID vaccine). His symptoms progressed to involve shortness of breath which prompted his admission to our Hospital on 5/12/21. He rapidly deteriorated requiring intubation and ultimately placement on ECMO and temporary internal heart pump (Impella device) placement. He was thought to have myocarditis due to elevated troponins at the time of admission and cardiac MRI showing wide spread myocardial inflammation suggestive of myocarditis. He was treated with high dose steroids and supportive care due to the concern for cytokine storm and eventually started to show signs of improvement. He was eventually taken off ECMO, internal heart pump and ventilatory support and went home after 20 days in the hospital. However, follow up cardiac MRI revealed ongoing myocarditis, but his ejection fraction had improved.

They told him was throat was closing up.; Anaphylaxis/anaphylactic shock/severe allergic reaction; Swelling of the throat/throat was swelling; Trouble breathing; Itchy throat; Said that his throat felt really thirsty.; He is very upset./He is pretty devastated.; His throat started to do it again.; They said maybe it was something he ate or maybe sinuses; This is spontaneous report from contactable consumer (patient) and contactable consumer (patient's mother). A 25-year-old male patient received the first dose for BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot No. EWO187) at single dose for COVID-19 immunization on 19May2021 at 12:00 or 13:00. Relevant history included Diabetes, obesity, endocrine abnormalities, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, respiratory illness, compromised immune status and Allergies. The patient had Allergies to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can induce anaphylactic shock, severe reaction, swelling of face and throat. Relevant concomitant drug was unknown. No history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. No Additional Vaccines were Administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect If applicable. No Vaccines were Administered prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Family Medical History was none. About 3-5 minutes after being administered the Vaccine, the patient immediately developed anaphylactic shock. He was transported via ambulance to the Emergency Room on 19May2021 where he verified he was admitted to the hospital Emergency room for about 5-6 hours and discharged from the hospital the same day, 19May2021. He was told not to get any additional doses. He was still having swelling of the throat and went back to the ER today and was given a steroid prednisone 40mg a day for 5 days. He was advised to take benadryl also. He said he didn't get any IVs or anything. He had a past medical history of anaphylactic reaction to NSAIDS. He has been advised not to get the second dose. The patient stated the anaphylactic shock occurred with trouble breathing, throat was swelling and itchy throat. He did go into ER, they told him to just keep drinking fluids, that there was nothing else they could really do. When he was seen in the emergency room they gave him Benadryl and a steroid: Prednisone for now which he is on for the next couple of days. He was told that after 2 days or something, that after getting injected that he wouldn't have any symptoms-but he is still having those pretty severe symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Initial onset of anaphylactic shock was about 3-5 minutes after Pfizer Covid Vaccine shot was administered. Within 10-15 minutes he had swelling of tongue and throat and difficulty breathing. They called an ambulance, the ambulance took him to the Hospital emergency room where he was admitted and discharged that same date on 19May2021 after about 5-6 hours; he reported discharge time was around 16:40. They told him to come back if he had any issues that occurred over next couple of days or worsening or causing problems; to call back the nurses line. He was on a lot of Benadryl, a lot of antihistamines. When he gets off the antihistamines almost all the allergic reactions of the anaphylactic shock reoccur. This morning, 21May2021, he didn't take any Bendaryl before bed, and this morning when he woke up he was alright. After being at work like 30 minutes he felt the itchiness; scratchy throat; swelling of tongue; a little swelling of the throat; difficulty breathing. He took Benadryl and called the hotline who told him to call the Emergency room, he called the emergency room and went there. He talked to them this morning because he went to work and had issues breathing. He called and they told him to come in asap, so he went in to the emergency room; they gave him Benadryl and told him there was nothing else they could do other than him taking the steroid: Prednisone. The patient was in the hospital 3 days and will be day 4 tomorrow. He was trying to figure out how long this will last. They told him to talk to his doctor. They basically told him they were not responsible. The patient's mother reported that her son received the shot Wed 19May2021. Does not know if the Walgreen's reported this. He left there in an ambulance within 10 minutes of getting the shot. They took him to the emergency room and he got mixed information. He went back again today. They blew him off and told him maybe it was something he ate. She assumed that an allergic reaction would be about 24 hours but this is day 3. She is scared he may be taking too much Benadryl. He said he felt like he needed something to drink. Said that his throat felt really thirsty. He went back inside since his throat fell really tight. They told him was throat was closing up. They saw that his throat was swollen and they called the paramedics. Within 15 minutes they came and brought him to the emergency room. Nobody had given him Epi. They were going to give it to him an Epi pen but he wanted to wait for the paramedics. He was freaking out. The paramedics showed up and they were unable to give him Epi, stating he didn't have hives. He only received Benadryl. They he had to have to give him extra Benadryl because whatever they gave him in the IV because the first didn't work and his throat was still closing up. It made him feel like a drug addict asking for Benadryl. She was not sure if they gave him Benadryl in the ambulance, knows that it was given in the emergency room. The Benadryl may have been started in the ambulance but she is not sure. They did give him oxygen in the ambulance. Clarified he was in the ER over 4 hours, but was not admitted to the hospital. They gave him steroids but forgot to send him home with steroids. He had to call to find out about getting them and they told him they forgot to send the prescription in. He was late starting the next dose of steroids. He went back to the ER today, day 3. He didn't feel too bad today and went to work. After exerting a little energy and moving around, his throat started to do it again. He didn't have Benadryl on him. He left work because he thought it was going to close up again the day he got the shot. Once he calmed down, he took Benadryl. He called the hospital to ask if this was normal. He was told that it is not normal and was told that if he still felt bad, to come to the hospital. They said maybe it was something he ate or maybe sinuses. He spoke to one of the doctors. They had never shown him how to use an ePi pen. He does not know how long this will last. He gets scared. Treatment: Has only been taking Benadryl. He started the steroids yesterday and today. They had given him Benadryl today in the ER and he is home now. The patient visited to the Emergency room twice, first time by ambulance, confirmed he was not admitted. He was pretty devastated. The outcome of events was unknown.
