Their Stories

Paresthesia oral, Blood pressure increased and Heart rate increased

12.19.2020 – I had rapid heart rate, shortness of breath and tingling about 25 minutes after vaccination After receiving the vaccination, I waited 15 minutes for any adverse reaction per the instructions of my company. After 15 minutes I left and got a few miles down the road when my symptoms started. It started with heart palpitations, and then progressed to shortness of breath and tingling in my whole body but mainly in my mouth and chest area. I didn't think I would make it to the hospital or back to the vaccination site so I called 911 and EMTs assessed me. My blood pressure was elevated during my assessment and the last blood pressure checked was 170/90 the last time the EMTs checked it which is abnormal for me. All symptoms were clear after about 30 minutes.
