Longer term Pfizer vaccine side effects?

I was very lucky to have the vaccine 2 ish weeks ago (30s no health conditions), all was generally fine, but I was wondering if anyone else has had any lingering side effects or what I'm feeling is just generally under the weather/eaten something etc.

I still have pain at the injection site which feels like a pinch and hurts when I raise my arm, put on or take off tops etc

I've had an upset stomach for about a week I can't shake!

My joints in particularly in my legs hurt!

Pretty bad brain fog.

I didn't feel ill at all from the vaccine at the time just a sore arm.

Yes I’ve been to the GP this week and they didn’t really know the answers. They just said lots of people are going in with a range of different things at different times after the vaccines and as it’s so new they can’t really say if it is or isn’t vaccines.

Rainy that's better than my GP surgery. They just flatly denied that it could possibly be the vaccine. Hmm

She tried to give me HRT. Again!

I had really bad stomach problems for weeks afterwards but not sure if there's a connection.

@deathbypostitnote I have been having a small amount of pain in my stomach and bloating. It’s taken a back seat to the lack of energy/brain fog so not sure if it’s related or not but is still ongoing and not usual for me.

2boysand1princess · 12/06/2021 23:03

I got the pain and bloating for almost 2-3 weeks
After the second dose, but my sister got it after the first. It does eventually settle. Mine was horrific first 2 weeks. Really painful for me and the bloating was crazy!

2boysand1princess · 12/06/2021 23:03

Definitely connected. Me and my sister got this real bad

Please do yellow card even if a longer time after. It’s so important to get a full picture of this new technology

I have had real gastro problems since my Pfizer a month ago. Everything goes straight though me Blush A few people have said similar. Does this get better?

Through me

For me, yes. Just when I waw in absolute despair (maybe 4 weeks after the first dose) it disappeared. I have a history of IBS and my guess is the vaccine triggered a flare up - but just a guess. It didn't happen after the second one.

I’ve just started with heartburn and palpitations about a week after having the Pfizer vaccine. Can’t say for sure linked but never happened before.

turtlesanddragons · 13/06/2021 14:10

I've had both jabs. in my 30s I was poorly after both for a day then fine again. I have had uncontrollable twitching every so often in my eyes since having it.

Curatingchaos · 13/06/2021 15:02

Omg yes the twitching. Wtf is it????
I’ve had twitching around my nose , above my mouth, one sided. And eye spasms.

Glad it's not just me then. I told a few people and they have all said it must be a coincidence but I don't think it is. it's really annoying. never experienced it before. sometimes my eyes just won't stop.

I just found this thread because I had my second Pfizer vaccine a week ago and have had worsening side effects as the week has progressed. Have had consistent heartburn, headaches (neither of which I have ever really had before) and a really upset tummy and now hot flushes/sweats. I’ve only ever had heartburn in pregnancy so I actually took a pregnancy test it was so bad! I’m getting worried now it’s been a week. I’m early thirties and fairly active and healthy.

I had myocarditis diagnosed after an MRNA. Main symptoms were strong heartburn-like pains which resolved in a few days and then palpitations. It was diagnosed after a few days when I went to hospital (felt absolutely terrible two days after, so it was strong). After a few weeks the bloodwork and ECG were normal, but it still showed on MRI and I had ongoing palpitations/occasional pain/was run down. It has required ongoing treatment and MRI was crucial for diagnosis, hence I wanted to let others know.
