Symptom narrative

My symptoms were: chest pain and pressure, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and fatigue. These symptoms started around 24 hours after my first and only COVID booster shot (third shot overall). In response to this event, I took a big dose of ibuprofen, rested, and prayed that I would survive. After a couple days, I felt normal. However, I had another event with the same symptoms on September 3rd, 2024. This event was not preceded by a vaccine, but likely in response to my having COVID. This time, I went to the ER and was treated with fluids and ibuprofen, and monitored for improvement. They ruled out heart attack, stroke, and collapsed lung, but said further diagnosis must come from my PCM. After the ER visit, it took five and a half weeks to be seen by my PCM. My PCM said that it was likely caused by myocarditis or GERD, but my GERD has been managed with medication.
