The young man was brought last night (Sunday) to the emergency medical center of the Terem company in Modi’in, and from there he was sent by ambulance to the hospital.
Dr. Badarna Baha, a doctor at Terem Center, said that since the young man received the second dose of the vaccine, he felt accelerated heartbeats, shortness of breath and sharp pain at the end of each breath radiating to his left arm. High values rose, indicating a heart problem.Thanks to the diagnosis and prompt intervention, the young man’s life was saved.
“Fear that immunological reaction caused inflammation”
Dr. Abdulhadi Peruji, a medical director before, adds that without treatment, myocarditis can lead to the development of arrhythmias, and a disorder of the heart to the point of death.
Referring to the case, Dr. Perugi noted that “it cannot be determined with certainty that myocarditis developed as a secondary result of the vaccine, as coronary heart disease may also cause the disease. However, the fact that the symptoms started immediately after the vaccine raises the suspicion that an immunological reaction may have caused the inflammation. “
Assaf Harofeh noted that the circumstances of the complication are still being investigated: “A young man who is in interim intensive care has come to us. His condition is stable. We will investigate various factors that can lead to this condition.”
