Write-up

Complete loss of vision in the left eye 12 hours after receiving second dose (Moderna mRNA-1273) while having a fever of 102 F for 6 hours.
Loss of vision lasted for 1 minute.
Loss of vision occurred while standing.
Referral to primary care and ophthalmology specialist found normal eye exam and MRI of orbits but presence of tachycardia especially while standing (fluctuations between 60 beats at rest/laying down to 130 beats per minute standing).
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is suspected.
Currently pursuing cardiac workup with cardiologist and Covid POTS specialist.
POTS specialist believes autoantibody development after vaccination could be suspected as recovering covid patients similarly present to clinic with POTS like symptoms.
