Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.
"I am a city mail carrier. I walk about 14 miles per day at work. Overall healthy and strong with the exception that I have hypothyroidism and take 25 mcg of Levothyroxine.
After reading the side effects of the vaccine and the insistence of the media people to do the right thing and get the vaccine, I finally made an appointment. On 5/26/2021 I went to Kroger's supermarket to get the Pfizer vaccine. Couple of minutes later I felt heat all over my chest, heart palpitations, dizziness, nauseous, and felt like I was going to faint. I told the pharmacist that I was not feeling well. He told me to lied down on the floor and called 911. When first responders took my blood pressure it read 214/110. They took me to the ER. EKG was normal, and X-ray was normal. When my vitals normalized they released me and gave me a referral to a cardiologist an to see my family doctor.
The following day, I woke up confused, fatigued, dizzy, and a weird feeling at the top of my head, and neck pain. I saw my doctor and put me on high blood pressure medication and also gave a referral to a cardiologist.
While waiting to see the cardiologist, I am in and out of the ER (5 times total) with blood pressure spikes (over 200 systolic) that come and go, nausea, numb left hand, fatigue, shortness of breath, mild pain on my left side of my chest, jaw tightness, coldness & clamminess, confused, heart palpitations, left side of face mild numbness with twitching, head pressure and stiff painful neck, and back pain.
At the ER they did multiple of EKG's, chest X-rays, 2 CT scans, and lots of blood work. They said all is ok, and discharge me. I finally stop going to the ER because they are not trying to figure out to root of my problem.
On 7/1/2021, I finally saw the cardiologist and did an Echocardiogram, stress test, and wore a heart monitor for 2 days. All is good. I wore another heart monitor for 7 days and waiting on results. On 8/3/2021 he will do a kidney test, blood clot test on my legs, and is looking for a hormone producing tumor. But for right now the high blood pressure with all the other symptoms I listed persist. I feel desperate for somebody to help me. I am still not able to work because of debilitating side effects, running out of money, and don't know what else to do.
On 7/16/2021 I have an appointment with a neurologist. On 8/2/2021 I have an appointment with an endocrinologist.
I regret getting the vaccine because I was not informed of these side effects. I was expecting flue like symptoms, not this. Thank you for creating this place for us affected negatively by the vaccine.
