Well, not just the pressure. I did ask Dr. G for an exemption, and the— he, he absolutely denied it. And the specialist he supposedly spoke with, as far as I know, doesn't exist. I went through medical records. You're supposed to keep your records for up to 10 years. The specialist that he consulted with, this conversation, it never happened except to with me. So I did go ahead and get a few weeks later the second vaccine. I was pressured. My family is in the States, and unfortunately at the time my mom was really worried. What if something happens to my grandma? What if something happens to them? And at the time you couldn't cross the border without taking both vaccinations. And unfortunately my grandma did end up passing, but I was too sick to go because it was after the second vaccination where I started fainting. And I've not flown or traveled seriously since. The traveling that I have done, I'm sick on. So unfortunately, yeah, due to the pressure, I did take it. And within 24 hours, every symptom I felt before was amplified.

I felt like I was going to pass out before. After the second vaccination, I would be in my bed and I would sit up and immediately get this heart rush. And I'd be like, okay, I have to go to the bathroom. I'm not going to just I can't just sit here and go in my bed. So I get up to go to the bathroom, and by that point, I'm fainting.

Everything, every part of my system wasn't working. I could feel my heart trembling. I would have trembles I, my heart rate was going exceeding 200 going to the kitchen, walking to the kitchen. So I, yeah, just very difficult time after the second vaccination. I didn't know how to, I didn't know what to do. I was frantic. I did contact my family doctor. I told him what happened. He immediately, after the first vaccination, my family doctor, Dr. Ahmed, also agreed like this is a, this is a vaccine injury. He, after the second one, you know, told me to rest and this is very serious. And he didn't know what to do because we had already, we already contacted, there was the, the cardiologist at the Sturgeon Hospital and then the cardiologist at the Royal Alec. And he, my doctor, we sat there together like, I don't know what to do.

He didn't know what to do. He's like, I don't know who to reach out for, Drew. I've already, I've already asked these specialists. They've already tested. Like, what do I? And so I looked up the POTS organization, um, Standing Up for POTS, and I actually contacted them, and they told me to go to Dr. Raj and have my doctor, um, send an emergency referral.
