A good friend of mine told me that he developed shortness of breath and palpitations after his first shot, and had to spend 8 hours in the ER.

While I do acknowledge that there is a lot of misinformation on the topic out there, it was really weird to see an actual real person you know suffer from a side effect of a shot. I started to think that things aren't as simple as they seem to be advertised...

Those are also symptoms of a panic attack, which is not uncommon for some people who dislike needles. What did the ER learn about his condition?

That sounds like it could be a panic attack. Perhaps panic due to all the fear mongering about the vaccine?

heard a story of a nurse vaccinating a 16 yo kids crying and not wanting the vaccine and dying in the minutes after the shot. It seems totally unbelievable, but the story was only n+2 (from someone knowing the nurse). Also said people in vaccine center had clear instructions not to mention anything happening there.

All this seems totally paranoid, i know. But i've also found numerus videos of actual doctors mentionning huge numbers of blood disorders in their own patients following the injection, so...

Why are there two separate commenters saying that it was a panic attack?

Is this the recommended explanation medical professionals should provide now when a patient has to spend 8 hours in ER, or is HN full medical experts in panic attacks?
