Symptom narrative

I initially developed some tremors in the left arm and hand about 2 weeks after the shot, late August or early September 2021. Went to the ER within a week of increased severity of the tremors in the left hand and arm, due to shortness of breath and chest pains. ER noted short tachycardia events but deemed to not be a heart attack and sent home after about 8 hours of observation. Tremors started to be experienced across more muscles in the body. Early December of 2021, I exhibited what appeared to be a partial seizure, losing fine control of all limbs, tongue and mouth. Started developing more tremors frequently across my entire body, numbering hundreds of events a day. During a PT test in April 2022, I completed the fitness exam run with only 100BPM heartrate and was blacking out from lack of oxygen. Approximately 15 minutes after completion well resting and recovering, my heart rate jumped to over 150BPM. Was put on a medical profile to prevent further injury or possible death from physical activity due to the nature of my tremors and uncontrolled heartrate. I have been seen by multiple neurologists and cardiologists, with inconclusive results other than a positive POTS diagnosis within the last year. Neurology had tried various medications: Depakote, Flexeril and Lamictal as a source of relief which were either ineffective or caused severe exhaustion. Clonazepam 1MG has shown to reduce the tremor events to between 15 and 50 a day.
