Summary

Prairie 13525's palpitations, loud heart and chest pain began after a first Pfizer vaccine dose and worsened after catching delta. Thirteen months on they still have palpitations all day and chest pain, and cannot walk more than four minutes outdoors without breathlessness, dizziness and nausea. A tilt table test and month-long holter monitor showed PVCs; a stress echo found no structural problem, and they were told to adjust their lifestyle or consider beta blockers.
