seizures; epilepsy; heart palpitations; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team. A 22-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 12Dec2021 as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 22 years intramuscular, in arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Pfizer covid-19 vaccine (Dose 1, single), administration date: 2021, for COVID-19 immunization. The following information was reported: EPILEPSY (hospitalization, medically significant) with onset Feb2022, outcome "unknown"; PALPITATIONS (hospitalization, medically significant) with onset Feb2022, outcome "unknown", described as "heart palpitations"; SEIZURE (hospitalization, medically significant) with onset Feb2022, 2 months after the suspect product(s) administration, outcome "unknown", described as "seizures". Reporter stated that her daughter received her first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine at the end of 2021 and second dose in Dec2021. In Feb2022 (started 2 months after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine), her daughter started experiencing heart palpitations, seizures, and epilepsy. The patient has these seizures at least two to three times a week that sometimes it really got to where she has hospitalized for like a week. She has been intubated probably 20 times. This did not start until after she got that second Pfizer shot for the COVID. She has been tested for epilepsy, she had all kind of tests running on her and then to several different specialists and all the test always come back negative, everything comes back fine/normal. Testing was performed and several EEDS, "ton of them were done,"were performed, however they are "not detecting brain magnetism through the EED." Reporter was asking if there is some time of testing that can be performed to see if the vaccine is causing her daughter's epilepsy and if there is anything they can do to control her daughter's seizures. Patient takes Lacosamide (twice a day) and Briviact (Brivaracetam) 20 mg (as reported), both for Epilepsy.
