A 90-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 16Feb2021 (Lot Number: EL9267) (at age of 90-year-old) as 2ND DOSE SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing atrial fibrillation, stent placement from 19Jun2020 and ongoing (successful in the descending aorta), and ongoing Heart problems. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2, administered in Arm Right on 05Feb2021(Lot: EL9263) (at age of 89-year-old) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient would like to talk to an individual regarding his side effects he has been having since his two COVID vaccinations in Feb 2021. Ten days after the second inoculation on 26Feb2021, he woke in the middle of the night with jaw pain. He was in great pain. The pain went down his left shoulder and back . His wife said that morning that those were signs of heart problems. He does have Atrial Fibrillation, and he had a stent placed 19 Jun 2020. He went to the emergency room where they checked him out for heart problems. He had a clean bill of health. They sent him home, and told him to take Tylenol for the pain. The Tylenol certainly helps. It took whatever number of days for it to subside. It subsided for 2 weeks, but then he developed pain down his right side of his shoulder, and down in his hips. Once again they figured they better get back to the ER. They did EKG and a X-ray. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his stent. They told him just to continue with Tylenol to control the pain. He went a third time to the emergency room because he was having problems breathing. The emergency room put him through the COVID entry at Kaiser because of the difficulty breathing. They re did all the previous work, and did a scan of his lung to check for blood clots. He thinks they did that because 6 people died from blood clots from Johnsons and Johnson. They wanted to see if there were blood clots, but there were no blood clots. They told him he needed to make an appointment with his primary who then referred him to a Cardiologist. On 11May2021, he saw his primary doctor who ordered another scan because they found possibly a swollen lymph node on his trachea. The doctor measured that, and said to wait a month to do that again. To see any change in it. On the 26 May 2021, he has his next appointment to get that rechecked. He hasn't had a comfortable day since this started. He has had pains in different parts of his body that last for 2-3 days and then some place else starts to hurt. His left ankle, right side heel, and shoulders also hurt. The pain was under control if he takes ibuprofen, but his doctor advised him against too much of that because of his kidneys. It was very effective. The Tylenol works to some extent, but not like the Ibuprofen. He is just living with it day to day. He can play tennis some days. One day he played tennis and came home with chills. His wife took his temperature and it was 100.3. In the last week and half this has happened two times. After the second shot this has happened probably four times. He has weird fevers for one day with no other symptoms. Ever since 26Feb2021, it has been on a daily basis that some place else hurts. One subsides , but another pain starts up elsewhere. If that is not happening, then his whole demeaner is dead. He is just not comfortable and sitting around he feels like he was wasting what life he has left. He used to be a PE teacher. He has always been in good physical condition. He was 5k and walking 5ks every 4th of Jul. He would compete. He prepared for this 90 birthday/ His goal was to do a 5k in under 60 minutes. He worked out like always , and played tennis 3 days a week to prepare. He also played ball. He likes to walk run 2-3 miles most days. He did his 5k in 52minutes, and he was celebrating. Then ten days later this all started happening. The patient/caller has been tested for COVID, and it was negative. The aches and pains were moving around. He was still having breathing difficulties. Sometimes he can't talk because of the breathing. It just goes away. If it is something like the tumor or a node on the trachea wouldn't it be happening all the time? Sometimes he can't talk because the breathing is bad. It comes and goes. It is more often recently. It is like all the sudden he can't breath and can't talk. That started right at the beginning. It has gotten progressively worse. He took Tylenol to help the pain in his body. Nothing has helped his breathing. He tried antihistamines to see if maybe it was hay fever or something , but there was no difference. He didn't know where to go from here. He was feeling horrible. He was just waiting on 26 May2021, for the second scan without color of thorax to see those results. The patient said he didn't have questions. The outcome of events was unknown.

Patient was a healthy, active man, walked the dog 2x a day, wrote about classical music, etc. until 02/23-26/2021: Atrial fibrillation episodes that would not resolve themselves; 03/03/2021: Cardioversion at Hospital which did not work; medications were changed or adjusted over the next weeks, Metoprolo tartrate 25mg was added 03/10/2021. Patient was anxious, napped during the day, couldn't sleep at night, couldn't concentrate on anything for any length of time, breathing irregular, had no energy to walk; 03/11-16/2021: in Hospital 04-10-14/2021: in Medical Center, for ablation and pacemaker. Great improvement, had more energy, was ale to drive again but was not back to his active self pre- 02/23/2021. Medications as of 04/27/2021 were Allopurinal 300mg daily; Atorvastatin 10mg, daily; Eliquis 5mg 2x a day; Furosemide 20mg daily; Melatonin 10mg, daily; Metoprolol succinate ER 50mg daily; Valsartan 40mg, daily; Adult 50+ Eye Health, daily; multivitamin, 1 daily; Docusate sodium 50mg as needed. By 05/26/2021, the patient is once again sleeping off and on during the day, has no energy, coughs more, can't concentrate, has lost his appetite, is anxious and discouraged. His speech is often muffled instead of clearly enunciated as is his wont. The medications have been adjusted again: as of 06/07/2021, Metoprolol 200mg, daily; Furosemide 40mg daily; the other medications remain the same. The patient, over the more than 3 months, has had xrays, electrocardiagrams, CT scans; bloodwork done. The question is: is it possible that these seemingly uncontrolable atrial fibrillation episodes are an adverse reaction to the second Pfizer vaccine? Has research been done on the vaccine and cardiac problems?

91 yo father received vaccine, was mobile and alert before first shot, but required wheelchair by second vaccination due to being weak. After second vaccination, was not able to stand or move after 36 hrs, at which point he was taken to the hospital. At hospital, all vital signs were good except an MRI showed cancer in spine. Shot was given 3/1 and my father passed on 3/18. Obviously this shot did not cause metastatic cancer, but I believe it did induce an inflammatory response of some kind that caused it to progress extremely quickly.

My father was in weak condition to begin with. He didn't get out of bed for the next few days after receiving the vaccine. The little amount that he ate was consumed in bed. He began aspirating his food which lead to pneumonia. He wasn't strong enough to fight off the pneumonia even with antibiotics. He died on 1/23/21. While he might have passed soon in any case, I believe that the vaccine may possibly have increased his weakness/exhaustion thereby hastening his demise.

My arm is little sore; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer reporting for himself. A 95-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, via an unspecified route of administration on 20Jan2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient also received apixaban (ELIQUIS), 2 dose forms (DF) every day, via an unspecified route of administration from an unspecified date at an unknown dose as blood thinner. Medical history included a bone spur in the left foot that causes the patient to limp a bit, although he is still able to move around a little bit ("he is surprised that he is still plodding along"), cardiac pacemaker insertion, body weight sometimes increasing, a trouble with his vision, so he has a restricted driver's license: he can only drive during the day time. The patient is also a hearing aid user from an unknown date and has central nervous system stimulation from an unknown date ("I have Neuraxis"). His wife says that "he has them every day". Past drug history included warfarin sodium (COUMADIN) used for years as blood thinner. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported, although the patient stated he takes a lot of medications. The patient reported that the vaccine "worked beautifully", but only after the shot he could read on the information sheet that the he should have told the provider about all his medical conditions, if he has a bleeding disorder or is on a blood thinner. Now he's reluctant to take his pills because of this warning. He feels fine, he doesn't have any problems with the shot. He only stated that his arm was little sore but that's to be expected. The patient would like to know if he can continue to take his blood thinner. On an unknown date the patient underwent lab tests connected with some kind of surgery or his pacemaker whose results were unknown. The action taken with apixaban in response to the event was unknown. The event outcome was unknown at the time of the report. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.
