Symptom narrative

silent heart attack; Infarction in my heart; draining of my elbow; she had clear fluid built up in her elbows "it had to be drained it's like big ball of whatever"; heart issues; electrical issues where you have your heart; left branch block in my heart; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team. A 72-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 12Jan2022 as dose 3 (booster), single (Lot number: FJ5683) for covid-19 immunisation.

The following information was reported: BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK (non-serious) with onset 2022, outcome "unknown", described as "left branch block in my heart"; SILENT MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "silent heart attack"; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Infarction in my heart"; JOINT EFFUSION (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "draining of my elbow; she had clear fluid built up in her elbows "it had to be drained it's like big ball of whatever""; CARDIAC DISORDER (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "heart issues; electrical issues where you have your heart". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Scan myocardial perfusion: (2022) left branch blockage. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of silent myocardial infarction, myocardial infarction, cardiac disorder. Clinical course: Caller stated she took Pfizer vaccines and the booster. She received her first shot on 20Apr2021 it was EW0171 - She saw online that "E" in front of the vaccine means "early death", asking is it true or not.

"being patient and definitely record symptoms as you know, just even the draining of elbow. That was weird. That was really weird. "Caller stated "Somebody had posted things about the vaccines, and there's been a lot of side effects which she think she got from the vaccine. "She stated that she had clear fluid built up in her elbows "it had to be drained it's like big ball of whatever" "it's in her health record at (withheld) that they drained elbow after getting the vaccine. And then the big thing is, since the vaccine, had a lot of heart issues. One includes a silent heart attack. Then had electrical issues where we have heart. It goes down and goes. slower to go up. And had left branch block whatever it's called, it left branch block in heart so could not took a normal stress test. she had to do another nuclear test. she already done this after the vaccine. she thought had it done in 2022, And right now wearing a heart monitor and didn't have these issues before the vaccine. " She knew about Myocarditis. "She had a very healthy regiment. She didn't drink, didn't smoke and exercise 7 days a week on a vegetarian.". "she never got COVID and been around people with COVID" she had RH negative blood "maybe I'm a rare case". "well it's very alarming to her, she felt it and everything else and heart's just not doesn't feel right but as far as my age that that doesn't affect me like had a job and everything else. her age she didn't think it was just oh cause, eat a lot of donuts and an alcoholic and none of that and never got a COVID". "The only thing that was treated was the elbow. They drained her elbow". "She had a nuclear test done. she had a stress test. she almost passed down on that one. And they found out with a nuclear test that she had a left branch blockage. So she could not take the treadmill. She had to go in for another nuclear test which was radioactive." "she never gonna get a vaccine of any kind ever again. No shingles, vaccine, no fluid, no pneumonia. And if she die from that, you know, tried to let my body just figure it out on its own, so I'll end on that note" "thought oh is this is this hereditary; No, dad lived to be 97 and mom died at age 90 of an accident. She would have probably lived in other so parents live a long life knock on wood. So didn't think it's hereditary, but you never know about this stuff."

Per "CONS - the risks of the vaccine; Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, including COMIRNATY and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines. Myocarditis and pericarditis following administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have occurred most commonly in males 12 years through 24 years of age. In most of these people, symptoms began within a week following vaccination. Based on available data, estimated rates of myocarditis and/or pericarditis from 1 through 7 days after getting a dose of the 2023-2024 Formula of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were approximately 8 cases per million doses in people 6 months through 64 years of age and approximately 27 cases per million doses in males 12 years through 24 years of age.
