Breast tenderness, Peripheral coldness and Tachycardia

3.14.2021 – 8 hours after receiving the vaccine, I felt a numbness and tingling in my left foot. It slowly creeped up my left leg and started in my lower right leg too. Then my legs began to feel cold and were trembling. I called my doctor's after hours line, the nurse recommended going by ambulance to the ED, but we couldn't afford that. So we were on our way to urgent care when the symptoms started to subside. We got to UC and it had just closed, but the symptoms had almost completely subsided, so we monitored it at home and 4 hours later I was fine with no symptoms other than a very mildly sore injection site.
