If he stand up on the feet and he walk his blood pressure, it goes up to around 200, if he sit down and relax in about four or five minutes, he could get the blood pressure back down to like 140, something like that, but anytime on his feet the blood pressure goes sky high and he had problem breathing. His doctor told him that he was covid long hauler. He had the covid in around holiday of 2019 and 2020. He had a really bad, no one even know what it was back then, so he go along and then about probably March, He got the shot, it was the Moderna shot vaccine the number one and then a month later, about three four weeks later they had him come back later and to get the second one, when he got the second one, he had a reaction, and then they said do not take it anymore, so then they came out with the Pfizer, all of the Pfizer shots vaccine he got every year since Pfizer came out with them and he was doing okay until he had this last shot on 28Sep2025 or 29Sep2025 and then he had it, he has been messed up ever since.
