“I Am Now a Part of the Clinical Trial” – 22-Year-Old Woman Develops Pericarditis One Week After Receiving Second Dose of the Moderna Vaccine

 

A healthy 22-year-old woman was diagnosed with pericarditis, the swelling and irritation of the thin saclike membrane surrounding the heart, following her second dose of Moderna vaccine.

Emily Sane shared on her social media last November that she experienced the first signs of the vaccine reaction just one week after taking the second dose of the Moderna vaccine.

“I had chest pain, shortness of breath, a cough, fever, and I was lightheaded,” Emily narrated.

“There isn’t much information on long-term effects most doctors have told me they are worried about scarring around the tissue. I am now a part of the clinical trial (which is kinda scary),” Emily said.

Early this month, Emily posted an update on her Facebook account about her condition. According to Emily, she has now has a heart rate that is extremely high.

“I now have a heart rate that is extremely high mainly when I am resting; which is very annoying. Next Wednesday I get to wear a heart monitor for a month so we can conduct more testing,” Emily said.

“If you’re interested in getting the vaccine, I’m not telling you not to just please do your research and understand what you’re putting in your body and if you’re as small as me I recommend maybe getting a child dose,” she added.
