Symptom narrative

Pt reports that 1-2 days after his HPV vaccine on 8/4 he developed some headaches frontal location and a sensation of feeling hot inside without a fever or feeling hot to touch and felt unable to cool down. Pt appeared "blah" or fatigued like getting sick to mom but without other symptoms. The most concerning was his complaint of mental fog and inability to think especially worsened by activity.
