Summary
Lagoon 99610, then 33, developed breathlessness, a 20-40 bpm rise in exercise heart rate and one near-faint after a Pfizer COVID vaccination in June 2021. Heart tests were normal, the symptoms went away on their own and they returned to training. A COVID infection in July 2023 brought the same exercise-related breathlessness and raised heart rate back.
