My 16-year-old daughter, very healthy without any health conditions, got her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday evening at around 5 pm.
On Wednesday, she started complaining of shortness of breath and chest pains, which she described as a feeling of someone stubbing her heart.
By Thursday, she began blacking out repeatedly throughout the day, each blackout lasting about a minute. These progressed and whenever she blacked out, she would not remember what happened.
At first, she and I brushed it off as maybe lack of calcium since she rarely drinks milk. But as they intensified, I began to become more concerned.
I told her I could not leave her by herself in the house as I prepared to go pick up her young siblings from school then schedule an appointment with her doctor.
On our way back home, she blacked out again; however, it was for more than a minute. Straight away, I drove to the ER close by.
The doctor came back to inform me that her heartbeat was irregular and concerning based on her age.
In that same moment, she began complaining of excessive pain like someone punching her heart out, and then she passed out again.
Still with my two other children, the whole ordeal began to frighten them and illicit some heavy tears.
Being that this ER was general admission, the doctors insisted they call in the paramedics to transport her to another ER for children.
However, after being transported to the other ER, her condition began to intensify rather quickly and the pediatric doctor at the second ER informed us we would have to be transferred to Children’s intensive care unit where the cardiologists could check her heart, find the ultimate cause, and monitor her closely.
In that moment, as a mother, I was speechless and extremely terrified. Seeing my daughter being transferred from ER to ER, made it even tougher on me so much that I could no longer hold myself together.
Here she was in terrible pain and being moved around with no clear diagnosis and treatment.
From there on, we spent a couple days in the Cardiac ICU waiting and praying with friends for answers and the best treatment she could get to ease the pain.
By about the third day of being in the ICU, the cardiologists informed me she had Acute Myocarditis.
This was so shocking. Both sides of the family have no history of heart issues. Secondly, she was a very healthy child.
